If you've been playing videogames as long as I have, you should have no problem remembering back to the days of the Nintendo Entertainment System and, more specifically, to a little classic called Excitebike. It even includes the original ExciteBike in case you missed it on the NES. These bonus levels are each very unique and sometimes very challenging as well. To me this was actually the best feature of the game. The more you play through the game, the more extras you can unlock. I haven't yet managed yet to beat the game as it does get very hard near the end, but I will keep on trying. The graphics are terrible by today's standards, but look pretty good for an N64 era game. Each of the levels is designed to be challenging and yet still fun to race on. The outdoor levels actually do venture into a little fantasy, but still it is overall grounded. The game has standard arena courses and some out door ones as well. This game has much more in common with the original then the Excite games on the Wii, meaning that it is hard and more focused on realistic jumps rather then the craziness that is ExciteTruck and ExciteBots. After I found out about the recent remake of the original Excitebike for WiiWare, I decided to seek out this N64 entry in the series.
