  1. If you liked the previous cruisn' games, you'll like this one as well.
  2. Playing Exotica requires very little skill or finesse, but for the casual gamer who doesn't want to commit lots of time to racing a track, that's not really a bad thing.

    Only fun for a very brief moment really, and once that moment passes you're left with a very bland, very dated racer.
  4. Oh, I forgot to mention the horribly painful control and the truly pathetic graphics. Yep, definitely a Cruis'n title.

    This is easily one of the worst racers for the Nintendo 64.

    Consider, if you will, a racing game in which it's not even necessary to touch the control stick while driving in order to finish a race.
  7. Dull, unenjoyable and incredibly shoddy, failing to deliver even the most basic of racing thrills.

    This is really a fun game! Nice new tracks and crazy cars! Sadly not that good than Cruis'n World but a worthy successor

    This is really fun, with great tracks and good controls. I can`t understand why it received poor critics back in the day...
