If your a leg man, the N64 port is for you

THE CENSORSHIP!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the video comparison. I always hear how bad the N64 version is but after seeing the arcade version, the N64 version is a great port of the arcade. This is even more impressive when you consider the difference in the price of the hardware. Again thanks for posting.

I hear many Bad words about n64 port, but after i See this comparsion, i admit that this game is good both on arcade and n64

They even had to censor the word 'SHAFT'... The N64 version is just plain INFERIOR, thru 'n thru! 👎👎👎

I like the graphics and sound effects of the Arcade version, but I like the soundtrack of the N64

When you think about it?! The N64 is about as close as it could be to the original 1994 arcade version except the sound and the music tracks are much more prominent in the console version and yeah the bikini clad censorship but otherwise more than enough in a competent version. I miss crazy wacky racing games like Cruis'n USA that didn't take the genre itself too seriously and it was more based on fun than ultra realism! Racing games now are SO realistic and so life like that they all look alike and there's nothing that separates each franchise apart from 1 another, they could all be the same game for all I know?! Take San Francisco RUSH which lost it's way and it's roots trying to be ultra hip hop realistic LA RUSH?!! Because of such realism and graphic prowess of the modern console variants, will we ever accept games based on fun than realism?! Sigh...

As diferenças entre as duas versões são mínimas aparentemente. O port para o N64 ficou muito bom

When you see the cars rotating up close, you can see how much better the details are in the arcade version. However, when the game is actually in progress, other than a significantly diminished HUD on the N64 version, the two look nearly identical. So this is a phenomenal port! Arcade is still better....but man, oh man is it hard to say anything bad about the home version! In terms of which version of the music I like better, it's give and take.

Jogava muito as duas versões na minha época de adolescente, a versão do N64 é muito boa, alugava feito louco para jogar direto em casa pois não dava para ficar 24h no flipper. Inferior, mas competente.

That was the time when Midway collaborated with Nintendo!

I used to love this game so much. I'd play it every chance I could at the arcade and got it day 1 on N64.

i always used the school bus and had all the top times on the machine in my walmart

What noone seems to point out is that while the arcade version has higher rez textures, the N64 version has perspective correction.

Pretty faithful port to the N64, overall. Seems to run a little smoother, too.

It's REALLY fucking close, honestly. And there's a reason for that. The biggest reason that Cruis'n USA was sub-par on N64 (aside from being made by Williams instead of Eurocom), is that USA was rushed, to get it ready in time for the N64 launch window (though you'd think they had plenty of time, and it should have been available on launch DAY). With World, Midway actually allowed Eurocom to take their time making it, to ensure it would be as good as possible, as close to "Arcade Perfect" as possible. And to that end, while this game was originally supposed to release on N64 in 1997, it got quietly delayed all the way until September 1998 . And clearly, that was a GOOD thing, as not only is it basically arcade perfect, but they added extra content (new track, 4 player, Championship Mode, etc.). Great port, one of the best N64 games.

When I was young this made me very happy. Drove just like the arcade.

Damn man I was really getting into that intro song in the beginning of the video.

I played this so much at the arcades and practically wore out my N64 kart of this game! Love it!

I've played both versions in actual hardware. Though the arcade was innovative at the time (but hard to play), the N64 is actually a good home port. I don't know what got in people's heads saying it's bad, specifically the music, but, trust me, it's good. Only thing I criticize is the minor censorship of the trophy girl and the ending when you reach the White House.
