Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

Do you remember the game, Mario Cart 64? Essentially this is the same thing in a much more child-friendly format. Mickey and the gang have to save Pluto from thieving weasels. Kids must help out by racing on several fun tracks found in San Francisco, New Orleans and the Grand Canyon. Younger children will like the character voices and easy playability at the beginner level, while experienced gamers will enjoy the fierce competition at the expert level. It's fun for all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Racing Action!, December 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mickey's Speedway USA (Game Cartridge)

This game won't blow you away like Hydro Thunder or Star Wars Episode 1 Racer or Beetle Adventure Racing, but it's definitely worth adding to your collection. Modeled slavishly after MarioKart, Mickey's Speedway lets you race as six different characters across 5 circuits and 20 tracks. Each of the characters has a handful of unique exhortations that can be quite amusing, and they all look cute tucked inside their tiny go carts. But the game isn't about Mickey and Donald and the others, it's about racing, and to be honest the tracks are just plain fun to race. Simplicity reigns, and the graphics are phenomenal. Play control far surpasses that of MarioKart 64, where the carts have an annoying tendency to skid and slide. Not that winning is particularly easy. Far from it. But with a little practice winning shouldn't be a problem. The game also features a time trial mode, an extensive options menu and a novel sort of practice area where players can accustom themselves to the different qualities of the different characters and their carts. Another nice surprise is the battle mode, where up to four racers can compete against one another in four arenas. UP TO FOUR. This includes ONE player versus three computer opponents, which is nice if you're alone or if. . . well, you have no friends. Not even the original MarioKart let you do that. So Mickey's Speedway USA is a fun little game with plenty of attractions that will keep players of all ages busy for some time. A worthy purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best Kart game of the 32/64 bit generation, December 22, 2000

All things considered, MSU is a pretty great game. The greatness lies in its simplicity. While Diddy Kong Racing was a fantastic game, it was a little "busy" for the gamer who just wanted to race. The track design, while not wildly original, is excellent. Tracks are suitably short (I HATE overly long tracks)and fit the spirit of the game perfectly. The weapon system is the best since the original Super Mario Kart on SNES, actually requiring strategy and not merely luck. Theres's plenty of value here. Lot's of tracks, a very good battle mode, good multiplayers racing. Also, this game is probably the best use of the Disney liscense so far. If you love Disney charcters, buy this game! The voices are PERFECT, the animation is great... Rare really captured the spirit of each character. When you earn the Taunt cheat, you'll love shouting out in cartoon-speak at will. The graphics are smooth, especially in widescreen mode. The sense of speed in the pro level is very good. I think most gamers will really enjoy this game. It's non-violent, fun, but ultimately requires great skill (you'll need to learn the art of the *perfect* powerslide)to master. As a multiplayer game, it comes out ahead of Diddy Kong, with Mario Kart 64 as a distant third. Single player, I still think Diddy is the top of the crop, with Mickey in second. Of course, no one has yet matched the utter greatness of the original SNES classic... Super Mario Kart! This does come close, though...

5.0 out of 5 stars Mickey Does It Again!, December 24, 2000

This game is the best game I own! If you thought that Mario Kart was the best game ever made, keep your pants on when you see Mickey's Speedway USA. The graphics are absolutely amazing with the clarity and color being absolutely perfect. The graphics depict the true scenery of each city that the characters race through. The voices of all the characters match the ones you've heard on tv and as a child and you'll melt when you see how adorable they are. This game also needs skill for the harder level. It's not an easy game where it's an obvious "beat". You must work towards saving Pluto, and it's not as easy as you think it will be. This game will give you loads of fun and pleasure for the whole family. It's a great gift, whether for someone you love, a friend, or for yourself. Enjoy the game!
