A port of an old Super Nintendo classic, Rock 'N Roll Racing is a fun, addictive racing game. However, don't think that this game is simply about racing. The vehicles are equipped with blasters, mines, oil-squirting machines, and rockets, among other things. Initially you being the game with a cheap, slow vehicle with few weapons. As you progress through the game, you earn money in order to buy weapons for your vehicle, or to buy a whole new vehicle. This is a great feature of the game, as it makes no two careers the same; everytime you play the game you can choose your path to victory. You can have a heavily equip a cheaper vehicle, or you can buy a better vehicle, but you will be unable to equip it with many weapons or armor.

The game uses a top down, isometric view of the race course. It feels like you are driving remote controlled vehicles, rather than some racing games that put you in the driver's seat. This is a unique view for a racing game, and it only helps the charm of Rock 'N Roll racing.

As one would assume, the multiplayer feature is fantastic. Nothing gives quite as much joy as blasting your friend right as he is about to cross the finish line.

Rock 'N Roll Racing is a game any avid Gameboy Advance player should own. It will provide you with countless hours of mindless fun.

This game was one of my favorite for the snes. In the game you buy cars and upgrade them with the money you win. Awesome soundtrack that includes Black Sabbath, Deep purple, George Thorogood, and more. Also good quotes by the announcer such as,"Snake unleashes hot fury!" This game was made by Blizzard before they had that name. Blizzard went on to make classics series' Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo. Playing this game multiplayer with a friend could be perhaps the most entertaining aspect, although single player is great as well. Highly recommended!

I remember way back in the old days when my friends and I would play this game all day long and fighting over who gets to be Olaf. Wow! Good times... If you loved the original then you will love this! Out of all of the games out there that they have remade and added to you'd think that they would have evolved this game in some way, or at least added a Part 2 to it. Anyways, it is a great game!

WEll this is one if not the best racing game that I have ever play yet I love mario kart but this game is so much more deeper than that you have to upgrade your car by wining races the air blade is one of my fav cars till you get the havac you racing is like a top veiw down just right for this game races are 4 laps long 10 to 14 races per division there are two a an b the goal to move on is win points to the next world there are 5 worlds the hardest you put it on the more world you play too enyway if you like racing games and have a gameboy what the hell are waiting for its that good Thanks for the read!

This one of my favorite games during the Super Nintendo timeframe. We could not find it in the stores so we had it rented all the time. Boy I was really happy to see this game for GBA.

It's a great game and lot of fun!

A new port of an old Super Nintendo classic, Rock 'N Roll Racing is a must own for GBA owners who remember the classic game. The premise of the game is simple: as you win races in single player mode, you'll earn money to upgrade your car while doing battle against other racers. This port is every bit as fun as the original game; graphics and gameplay remain intact for the most part. The only problem with the game is it's steep learning curve, but that's only a minor complaint. And, just like in the original, the true fun of Rock 'N Roll Racing is to be had with two-player mode. However, I can't help but wonder why Blizzard didn't include a four player mode via link cable that would have been even more fun, but oh well. All in all, with the ever growing long list of Super NES ports on the GBA, Rock 'N Roll Racing is at the near top of the pack.

I grew up playing Nintendo so I love these old games. Anyone who grew up in the eighties and nineties should remember games like this. It is awesome.

Blizzard became known for their later franchises such as Diablo, Warcraft, and Starcraft. Before then, Blizzard made a handful of console games. I used to rent this game all the time for my SNES as a kid. When I purchased my Nintendo DS a couple years ago, I knew I had to get this game.

The racing/combat genre isn't around much anymore, but when it was, this game was king. The Rockin soundtrack still holds up as well as the gameplay.

This cult classic is on par with Blizzard's modern classics. I highly recommend this to anyone with a Gameboy Advance or Nintendo DS.
