Quote:It's one of the most abundant arcade machines everywhere... I can't think of a arcade worth mentioning (ie more than a game or two) I've been to in a long time without some Cruis'n machines. Which speaks to how successful the series is and clearly how much people like to play those games in the arcades... the small arcade on campus has two Exotica machines (in addition to two lightgun games, Arctic Thunder, and four pinball tables (three Midway, one Stern))
It shows that arcades are dead and the only people that care about them are casuals who have bad taste in games.
Quote:Cruis'n is fun in small doses. It doesn't hold up to lots of play like a Rush because of lack of depth, but in a race or two that won't matter... as I said, it's fun in a mindless kind of way.
It's not even fun in a mindless kind of way. I know mindless fun, I love mindless fun. Cruisin' is not mindless fun. It's just plain mindless.
