I Got this game over the weekend, and my girlfriend had to pry the controller out of my hands to get me away from it. From the beginning, there is a lot of fun to be had. Many options and areas have to be unlocked, and finding things is half the fun. it's a difficult game at times, but it's still avery enjoyable game.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am keeping this one, December 28, 2000

Great Game! You can play in adventure mode, battle mode or basic race around the track. I am having a great time with this game. If you enjoy the Muppets, you have to have this game! The music is very good; sound is good. Interaction with the other Muppets is a lot of fun.

1) Cheat Codes are included on the back page (If you are interested). 2) Several tracks/themes to choose from based on the movies: Muppet Christmas Carol, Muppets in Space, The Great Muppet Caper, etc. 3) Movie clips introduce new tracks (The Rainbow Connection song is recorded here!) 4) You have all of the best Muppets to choose from in your racing adventures

The Muppets are just the best, and it is so great to see a really fun Muppet game(especially after that horid Game Boy Color mess). "Muppet Race Mania" is a truly fun and fantastic game for the Playstation. First off the sheer number of racers at your disposal is terrific. The games starts out with only a few but a cheat is provided to open all of them-so don't fret. They are all great characters too-Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzy, Rizzo, The Swedish Chef, and even BEAN BUNNY! What a treat(Bean rocks!). Also when you unlock certain secrets on the battle course you can use new characters to play them. For example if you beat "The Muppet Movie" battle coure you can battle as Sweetums. Anyway they all have a different kart that can be combined with another racer. There is also a good number of tracks to play(the stunt tracks are stupid but hey nothing is perfect), and by using the adventure mode you can access secrets that allow you to play all the course as a battle mode. There is even a Fraggle Rock course! No I ain't lyin'!The game overall is tremedously fun to play. Each Muppet's personality shines through. The graphics are great; capturing that whole Jim Henson atmosphere. The courses(some course have to be unlocked)follow the movies very well, and they offer lots of shorcuts and gameplay variety too. A little video is played before each one. The playcontrol isn't as tight as it could be, but it isn't terrible in anyway shape or form. And younger players can select an option that allows them the have the computer steer while they push the acceleration button.The games has a lot of play modes; racing, reverse racing, adventure(in which you drive around the course picking up items to unlock secrets), battle-which has a few modes of play-a boss battle mode(where you battle a "boss" character) and a chicken race(where you attempt to catch chickens. One flaw of the game is its lack of items. You only have a fish, penguin bomb, and a rocket launching chicken. But each character does have a special move that can be used to run over or slow other racers down.All in all this is a hot game. It retains to pizzazz of the Muppets and reinvigorates that kart racing genre(which has been lax for sometime). Little kids might have a little trouble with this game but little kids should be reading anyway. The price of the game is great and if you don't buy it at least rent it and give it a try.
