Diddy kong racing VERY UNDERATED

honestly this was one of the best games for N64 good multiplayer and single player but for some reason mario kart got more attention when this was overall a better game in graphics,story and gameplay come on u got to use planes,hovercrafts and cars which included boss battles.

Even gs gave it a 6.6Diddy kong racing VERY UNDERATED
It held a pretty fond place in my childhood. I liked the fact that it had an original concept. It had new characters, multiple vehicles and kick ass multi player. I recently gave my cousin my copy of the game and he loves it.Diddy kong racing VERY UNDERATED
my copy is lost but I spend alot of hours with this game I hated mario kart 64
Yeah the game was amazing. I loved the challenge of the boss and silver coin races. The level design was really nice, especially the space levels.
My Dad and I played in Icicle Pryamid for hours with the map off. Over and over again. Me as Bumper and him as Tip Top. That game was the bomb except T.T. that giant clock annoyed me.
agreed - diddy kong racing was the bomb back in the dayi own the ds version and while it does bring back fond memories, it just isn't the same :cry:
I just dotn understand why mario kart is considered better when its plain and boring after 10mins
who says its underated ? ive never heard anyone say a bad thing about it. its a fun game, definitely better then mario kart 64 which imo is atrocious.
The reason why it is underrated is because even though people know its a good game, it is not as popular as mario kart 64, diddy kong is like three times better. I remember playing the multiplayer with my friend. but, now I am stuck on the first level... Summer is coming, maybe I can put some time into it.

Haha I played it once, got frustrated 'cause I couldn't win and I realized you had to place 1st to advance, and quit.



But y'know, I was young.
That game was so much fun. I loved how you could drive around the little island place to get to the different levels, and how you had to do different challenges like getting all the coins and still winning, or that game where you have to grab all the eggs, or the boss races.edit: oh yes the genie, the song that played when you drove around the island (laaa laaa laaa laa laa laa lalala) and when you turn on the game and it says DIDDYYY KOOOOOOOOOOONG RAAAAAACING were all pretty awesome
I liked Diddy kong racing more then mario kart aswell, I spent hours playing that game.
Well GS gave the much-loved Mario Kart 64 a 6.4. Go figure. (personally I think the reviewer just couldn't resist)

Gamespot reviews are often a bit screwy, and nobody likes lame names like ''Diddy Kong'' on their kart racers so I think the bias is understandable. Not to mention it came ot later the same year as Mario Kart... who needs two of practically the same game within a few months?
Simply adored it, I wish I had it.
One of my all times greats is Diddy Kong Racing remember getting it with my N64 christmas 97'. . . everything from the graphics, music and gameplay was perfect.



Also because i got it at christmas the snow covered world with its christmas theme was just the best feeling while playing :)
For multiplayer I'd say Diddy Kong and Mario Kart are even. But for single player DKR is way better with it's Adventure mode.
Yeah, I remember that game. Was actually pretty solid, I could almost compare it to Mario Kart 64. I liked how I it had cars, boats, and planes to race in.
I thought:DKR: 9.6MK 64: 9.5
I loved this game. I remember trying to race that one monster looking creature up the mountain and I would always hit one of the palm trees lol.
