I bought Mickey's Speedway USA...
« on: August 30, 2006, 03:34:53 PM »
because it has an Oregon-themed racetrack. For once the great Beaver state can supplant Seattle as mascot for the Pacific Northwest. However, I doubt anyone from Rare has ever been over here, so I'm very interested to see what the track looks like. It's in the mail and I'm prepared to offer a FULL REPORT once I play it.

Is this game any good, by the way?

*shrug*

I heard it was...umm... mediocre at best? Didn't NP give it a 7.9?

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

Uh-oh more whining from Svevan on the way!

Just kidding, I think I actually enjoy the reviews of the obscure games more than the AAA titles. Look forward to the review

It's got connectivity!
Just some random guy on the internet who has a different opinion of games than you.

But how does it compare to Crash Team Racing?

"Mickey, I thought we were friends!"  "SOOOORRREEE MINNEEE"

That's quality, that is.  I can't get past that final set of tracks on Intermediate, though.  Aww.  I like the GBC version better, because it reminds me of RC Pro AM.  Pity it is STUPID HARD, like RC Pro AM.

Overall review: A Rodney Dangerfield out of Samuel L. Jackson for stupid commentary from Disney characters, and a Caramello Koala and half a Freddo out of Cadbury Block of Chocolate for gameplay.

Final Score (not an average): 7.3957265792 out of IGN
It's got a duck bill, you moron!

Mickey's speedway gets no respect, I tell ya.

Never played this. But, perhaps, VC...?

Was outta work for three months.  Good thing is that Moby seems to be much better than IGN for cataloguing all my games and whatnot (it's much easier to add any wacko new games that I get).  I need to add more Planet GameCube reviews to the game ranks, though.
