"We ruined Rush, now it's time for Cruis'n!"
Actually Cruis'n was pretty stuffed from the get-go, but I liked them. :]

But but, the Cruis'n games are supposed to be about blurry 2D girls in bikinis starting you off on an adventure around the open highways of America and other non-American highways (like the Great Wall of China), crashing into semi-trailers that furiously spin round in circles while rocking out to the banjo jumble mess music! Not 'fully sick'ing up your glow in the dark shit boxes! No! Here we discuss all of the above (especially blurry 2D girls but ESPECIALLY semi-trailers). Next year Midway will bring back the Hydro Thunder name and it'll be a first person shooter with aliens that powerslide around corners. That'll cause a Hydro Thunder in my pants for sure. |
i like how a lot of the long forgotten retro games are coming to wii but this new
look gives me that midtown madness/Need for speed feeling but eh here hope it turns out Decent. |
I hope you can do tricks like in Cruis'N World.
I enjoyed the first Cruis'N especially since you could control it for the N64 with only one hand. That was great. |
I just like the front plate on the car that says CRUZZZN.

Cruis'n was DA BOMB back then but now that I'm older (none the wiser) it sucks more than an echidna on an ant infested, bikini-clad lady (AHEM). It'll be interesting to see if they can make a bad racer into something relevant or significant. Here's hoping they keep the arcade style of gameplay as too many modern racing games seem to want to "keep it real(istic)". I wanna race on that rabbit-busting monument that is THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA! Oh, and Hydro Thunder :tpg::tpg::tpg: (MISS BEHAAAAVE!) |
Hmm, sounds like they're trying to turn it into Need for Speed Underground. I'd be fine it if Midway made the series into a Midtown Madness-clone, though.
|
Fuck, I haven't played one of these since Cruisn USA. Which I got with my N64 in 1997. And I loved it. Fuck yeah, school bus. I was always the school bus.
Actually, I played Cruisn World at a bowling alley a few years ago. Didn't hold a candle to the first. :( |
Used to love playing USA and World. The arcade I went to, inexplicable, had Cruisin USA set on freeplay. At some point I remember some gay shit like Exotica coming out? I just wish they'd upgrade these things without changing what made them fun in the first place.
|
Yeah, Exotica was pretty spaz. I think that came out around the time Midway killed off their arcade development team responsible for the original Cruis'n and Rush games. :( But at least it wasn't as bad as Cruis'n Velocity on GBA!

First screens!
http://www.tothegame.com/res/game/69...een2_large.jpg Track selection shows promise! http://www.tothegame.com/res/game/69...een1_large.jpg Umm. Wait what is this card.. http://www.tothegame.com/res/game/69...een3_large.jpg Rules for Drawn Stud Poker? :gonk: Midway must have used a novelty Bob the Builder toy camera to capture these screens. That and it just looks pretty bad all round, but at least it's not another LA Rush sandbox disaster area! |
