The best racing game on the 64! It was starting to look like Donkey Kong, and Diddy Kong was becoming the new face of Nintendo. Rare was the best at making a nothing game a huge title and they delivered once again with this. Not only was DK64 better than Mario64, Diddy Kong racing was better than Mario Kart 64. I think Nintendo tried to over look this game, and never gave it the praise it deserves. I would not go as far as saying it was great, but it was awesome for it's time. It was the game that was ahead of its time. You could ace in water,air,and of course the road. It was a odd move to try to move Diddy Kong into a place Mario has gone! But I have to say Rare pulled it off better then Nintendo did. I give it a solid 8 out of 10. Nintendo if they would have not got rid of Rare the day we see Donkey Kong the main character of Nintendo may not have been to far away
