After I started playing World Driver Chamionship on the N64, I didn't eat, work or sleep for a week. WDC provides a real racing experience, with a steep learning curve. But it's worth it, because you feel great when you get your hands on a shiny new car for the first time. Those first few cornersin a new vehicle are very cool. Every new car is faster and handles better, so the lap times drop like a brick. If you only get one game with your Nintendo 64, make it World Driver Championship.

I thought when i first played Rush 2 (which is also excellent) that nothing could top it. I was wrong because Driver is the most complicated game for n64 and requires some pretty sick skill to play, finally n64 owners have a game resembling the praised Grand Turissmo game. If you love cool cars and awesome graphics buy this game!

While there are other good racers for the N64 this one is the best. The cars drive well and different cars actually handle differently. The career aspect makes the game special. You are drawn in to try and get rides in ever faster cars. You have to practice to do well and this keeps you playing. This game will have a long play life. The icing on the cake is that everything looks beautiful.

WDC is truly a great racing game it is visually stunning and the car control is very realistic. A nice break from Rush and other 64 racers. The main theme of the game is to gain as many points as you can in order to obtain a higher driver ranking and be offered "better" rides. Just because they are better doesn't mean that they are faster. The graphics are great and the way that each car handles does take some getting used to; but it is well worth it. The replay value of this game is high and the other drivers do give you a run for your money. It could use a pit aspect as well as the ability to try and adjust your ride out( the game has neither) but all in all it is a very complete racing game. As a racing fan I would recommend this game to anyone shopping for a racing challange. I would not recommend this game for persons who don't have the time to get to know the cars or the tracks. These two things are paramont if you are to be successfull in climbing the ranks and becoming a World Champion Driver.

This game is the best driving game ever. You can do realistic straight line braking and downshifting (you WILL need to learn to brake to win races), apex your turns to conserve speed, and powerslide around other racers through curves. Stop reading this review and go buy the game right now!

The graphics are amazing. The cars are sweet too,but if your anything like me the way the car wipes out really gets on your nerves!You just tap the controlstick and woooomp!your in the ditch.

I don't know how I would improve this game - it is the most addicting and exciting I have ever played. The handling characteristics are extremely realistic; be thankful that the cars can't be damaged because there is a lot of bumping and banging involved. If you like racing, this is the one.

World Driver Championship certainly is more realistic than many of the racing games out there, but it is in a no way a simulator. The graphics are great and the game itself is a lot of fun, but there are two major downsides. First, your car can't be damaged. This alone makes the game much easier since you don't have to be as precise in your driving. Second, to get anywhere in the game you need to own a controller pak. If you don't have one this game isn't worth owning since you won't be able to play most of it.

This is the best racing game on the N64 platform. The physics are excellent. (Which I cannot say about Gran Turismo) The only problem I had is doing six 5 lap races for one cup is too long and you can't split the races up. Oh and the graphics are extremely good especially considering it does not use the expansion pack.

I really didn't like this game. The steering stinks, The levels stink, and The cars are cool but are pretty slow.
