I haven't really played the Cruis'n games on N64, just CUISA once in 1997 or so. I mostly speak of them from playing them in arcades -- and seeing how between the three they're probably the most common racing games in arcades in this country. I mean it seems like almost every arcade has at least one of the Cruis'n games... the Rush titles are a lot less common (though they are better games), but Cruis'n? Everywhere. That says that the series was successful in arcades. Now at home I have no idea, quite possibly not as much, but in arcades it was definitely successful and the Cruis'n games are fun in an arcade setting.
On that note most racing games are better in arcades... Hydro Thunder is very cool there, Arctic Thunder has that cold wind it blows on you, etc...
Oh, anyone played Ballistic's arcade game? SO COOL! You kind of lie back in this long chair in a big machine and it's a racing game where you go through tubes... I played it once in an arcade in, I think, Virginia. Port of a PC game of the same name but in the arcade it's so awesome...
