Mario Kart

Mario Kart on the Nintendo 64 should only be a dream come true for the rabid-competitor of the popular arcade racing franchise, which is known for its distinct control scheme and different "baller" style of play. The game was built on the groundbreaking GBA hardware--it's an excellent game. To be fair, the Nintendo 64 wasn't the first console to use a basic control scheme, but its sheer capabilities would quickly become what gamers are looking for when they choose the GameCube pad over the Cube controller. Mario Kart's unique control scheme will, after all, enable players to enjoy the game the way it's meant to be played, albeit in a much more relaxed manner.

Mario Kart 64 may take advantage of the N64's advanced capabilities, but the game is incredibly close to its current iteration. It should be readily apparent that this game is a complete waste of time. From the game's start, it's obvious that Mario Kart 64 has a fairly simplistic control scheme. You simply move your kart around with the N64 controller's analog stick. The stick is used for steering your kart, the B button for power and a forward button to brake and certain types of kart. This could have been an easy and intuitive system, but due to the control scheme, it's difficult to make that simple. What's more, it's not nearly as easy as it could be. Each kart also has a small button that you can use to bring up your kart. The button has two variations to it that are just as easy to use and will become your primary input. The standard "turn" button is used for the gas and gas. To get around the gas, you must press the gas. You'll also use it when you're behind the wheel. There are also a few extra functions to the gas button, such as in emergencies or other situations where you need to move or shake a car completely. If you do need to take a bit of time to use the gas, you can use the gas to slow down the car as well.

Drivatars aren't the only unique character you'll be able to drive. The characters in Drivatars are also unique. You'll find 16 different racers in the game, ranging from an old character to a new character to a well-known one. There are 16 in total, but the final version has around 100, so there are some combinations available.

What's good about the character development in Drivatars is that you don't just have to follow a predetermined path through the game. You're actually allowed a set of basic attributes that your racers have, which can range from basic attributes like speed, handling, acceleration, and overall ability to anything you like. There are also multiple statistics on each racing level, and as a result, you'll be able to give your virtual characters a level of individual autonomy. This extends to the car handling, which lets you tweak the handling on your car and the feel on your body, as well as how the car handles, as well as the handling of the car. For example, after you've finished tweaking out the transmission of your car, you can then take it off the track and actually race on your own. In addition, the game will feature a wide variety of race types, including cop chases, auto races, and even freestyle tracks, all of which are set to a variety of difficulty levels.

Drivatars will also be capable of putting you into their own competitions, and you'll be able to earn new vehicles for them in all manner of ways. In one example, we watched as the driver taken to the wheel of a big, yet beefy sedan and watched as the front wheel, when in trouble, took a nosedive and came down with an insane amount of damage. Another sequence of events was interrupted when we made it through a busy intersection where we got a few seconds of freefall and then were launched back onto the track. We were then able to race against a number of different opponents, ranging from cops to angry police, and we were able to pick a spot on the leaderboards to see who could take on the challenge.

The demo then moved to the new environment that our demoer and his stunt team had access to at E3, which was more or less straight-up dusty Japanese streets. The folks at the E3 demo had their first chance to get a feel for the new look of the area, which included some familiar rides such as the Toyota Canachio Touya, Subaru Impreza, and Mitsubishi RRK. The level offered an interesting look at the new look of the areas, which seemed to give them a bit more of an identity that players were pretty sure they wouldn't be spending much time with. The demo we tried was located in the grassy mountains of Tokyo and featured a few sparsely populated areas.
