Quote:It is a weapon-based racing game. So are Wipeout, Extreme-G, and many, many others... sure Mario Kart and Wipeout are quite different gameplay wise, but how can you say Mario Kart is a unique game?
Good grief, are you really that stupid??!! I mean really! Are you saying that the weapons are the only part of Mario Kart that seperate it from other racing games???
Quote:It makes no sense... there are a lot of kart racing games out there!
Yes, and those are all rip-offs of Mario Kart!! Every single cart-based racing game out there is a direct rip-off of Mario Kart.

Which is a rip-off of Wipeout, which in turn is a rip-off of F-Zero and Mario Kart (futuristic stuff from F-Zero and weapons from Mario Kart).

I said Cruis'n USA is clearly in the tradition of Outrun. And it is! You drive forward on a twisting road... very similar style of gameplay. Of course Outrun is a great, great game, but I do think that Cruis'n is a good newer version of that style of racing game... you don't. I know. BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT A BAD GAME! Some games ARE bad. But not most... most are good if you like that type of game. Like Cruis'n. I love arcade-style racing games...
You're changing your argument yet again because you're losing. Classic ABF. You said "So you hate all SNES behind-the-car psuedo 3d racers? Because all Cruis'n really is is that genre, done better.", which implies that Cruisin' is just like all of those older games because they're in the same genre. You can't back away from what you wrote, ABF. I pay attention to what you say because you always try to worm your way out of an argument. You can't get it past me, so don't even try.
All of the Cruisin' games are very bad racers, but if you like them that's fine. You're crazy, but that's fine.
