    A halfway house between motorsport driving games like Ridge Racer and Kart-style racing with power ups and secret short cuts. More a pleasant Sunday afternoon drive than edge-of-the-seat thrill ride, but certainly one of the better racing games on the N64.

    I don't really a 90s fan, but the game was quite good tbh, but the problem is the tracks being too long but it's too fast to finish the game just only up to 2 hours of walkthrough.

    A racer in the vein of "San Francisco Rush," with tons of shortcuts. [Jan 2004, p.189]

    Gone are the muscle cars, the rally vehicles, and the crazy collection of authentic automobile licenses. Beetle Adventure Racing managed to take me out of the stale racing format and threw me into an exploration game.

    If I had to compare, I would say it is Need for Speed with better graphics, faster frame rates, better shortcuts, minus the cop’s pursuit, but equals the same fun.
