Overdrive is an outstanding multiplayer racer, but if you primarily play alone, you might want to stick to renting it. The track graphics and car models are fantastic and the sense of speed later in the game is out of this world, but I can't help but think the game was rushed out for a Christmas release. The lack of a Time Trial mode, replays and steering wheel support are probably enough to turn off die-hard racing fans. Anyone looking for a fun multiplayer racer in the style of the old Top Gears will find a lot to like. I still prefer Rally, mostly because of it's more realistic vehicle physics and longer-lasting one-player mode, but Overdrive is definitely a worthy successor, despite some annoying flaws. A good example of what's graphically possible on N64 if you have the right texture and 3D artists.

If you look past the choppy graphics, Live is a fun basketball game that leaves NBA Courtside in the dust with faster gameplay, more exciting dunks, and more features. Unfortunately, there is no question about which version of Live is best. To be brutally honest, if you have a PC or PSX, forget about the N64 version and get the real NBA Live 99. If you only have an N64, Live is in my opinion the best basketball game yet, especially with four players. Could be a little more challenging in the one-player mode, though.

Six months ago I would have kicked myself in the ass for writing what I'm about to write, but truth be told, I like Wipeout 64 better than F-Zero X. Not just a little better, but a whole lot better. The game, lesser framerate considered, plays faster than Nintendo's racer, features a good selection of weapons, classes and courses. Visuals are absolutely beautiful, in-game music and sound effects are top-notch and control has been significantly improved over previous incarnations of the Wipeout franchise. I couldn't be happier. That is, unless Psygnosis would have thrown in about five extra courses. Other than that, Wipeout 64 is awesome. A definite buy. Well done Psygnosis and nice job Midway for picking this one up.

Test Drive Off Road is a very underwhelming racer. There's nothing terribly bad about the game (except for the lack of a two-player mode), but it's not that special, either. The game feels a lot like last year's Test Drive 4, with the same floaty control and weird in-air physics. If you pick the right vehicle the game plays fast and intense, but most of the time the trucks just lumber along. The World Tour is a good way to play the game, unfortunately it's a bit redundant because if you run out of time in the third race of a four race circuit, the game ends and you have to start back at the beginning. Very annoying...thankfully you can turn off the Checkpoints so you're not racing against the clock. Timing is everything, and Accolade just beat out Rally Cross 2 ¿ its obvious competition. Unfortunately from what we've seen, despite not having any real vehicles Rally Cross 2 is the much better choice for off-road racing.

An above average racer that suffers from one major problem: It tries to be both arcade racer and sim racer, and doesn't truly excel as either one. But with only F-1 World Grand Prix as its major competition in the sim racing genre on N64, NASCAR 99 is fun enough for most gamers looking for a more serious racer than Top Gear or Rush. However, unless you're a die-hard NASCAR fan or a true racing nut, I suggest renting the game first before purchasing your own copy.
