Cruis'n

Guide Note:

Cruis'n is a racing game produced by Midway for the Wii. It's the fifth game in the series produced by Raw Thrills creator Eugene Jarvis. Critics widely slammed the game, saying it was a poorly looking and poorly produced game that was too similar to The Fast and the Furious. With some dedication, the game can be beaten within one hour.

Gameplay:

The game stays true to the Cruis'n series. Players compete on one of 12 one-way street courses while trying to avoid the in-game hazards such as road blocks, bumps and barriers. Throughout a race, players can use nitrous oxide, also known as Nitrous. However, the amount of Nitrous became limited as the race continued. Upgrades could be made to a vehicle, but the majority of upgrades were only aesthetics such as spoilers, decals and lights. Engine upgrades were available but only by winning races and earning enough money to purchase them.

Criticism

Cruis'n received an average rating of 23.0 percent on GameRankings.com, with its best known score being a 3 out of 10 by IGN. Many reviewers said the game was poorly created; the game did not have any depth, the graphics and sound quality were poor, and the gameplay was too basic.
