Cruis'n Blast
In a way, Cruis’n Blast is a rollercoaster. It’s fast, fun and it also ends way too quickly.Its spirit is firmly planted in a bygone era for games, which still does its best to entertain people - regardless of their age.
If you miss old-school arcade racing games, this one is a real blast from the past that will keep those memories alive.
When the legendary authors of the classic arcade games completely ignore reality for the sake of crazy, over the top entertainment, we get something really extraordinary.

Worth it for the theme song alone. It's a fun arcade racer that is truly arcade. Lots of Hydro Thunder level of level design and some really cool tracks at that. Tons of goofy vehicles to play through as well that are also fun to use.

A shallow arcade racer with a vibrant coat of paint. The zaniness of seeing dinosaurs and UFOs attack you while racing certainly invokes some nostalgia, but Cruis'n Blast's shiny coat of paint wears off fast. The game is so devoid of mechanics and skill it almost feels like it plays itself. In fact, it's probably optimal to enable auto-acceleration because there is no need to brake or slow down. Hitting a wall or taking a turn poorly has little affect on you. Some "obstacles" you straight up clip through. Other than drifting and boost, the game offers no in-depth mechanics. You can do stunts like flips and barrel rolls, but they do nothing for you other than rewarding a small amount of cash at the end of the race. With no online play, the limited amount of tracks, some of which just get reused by replacing helicopters with dinosaurs, and the feeling that each race is more of a time trial than an actual race against opponents, this is not a $40 worthy game.

I was so happy that there is another Cruisn game after so many years. It looks great and the first races are awesome, until I realized that are always only the last 2 second of the race decides who will be first. After a while it's very shallow. Great to play with your kids

Cruis’n Blast is arcade racing in its absolute best form imaginable, and if you want a racing game that leaves you grinning like an idiot the entire time you’re playing it, I couldn’t recommend it any more highly.

Cruis’n Blast is an excellent return for the series and genre as a whole. The lack of online multiplayer hurts but there is a lot to enjoy for solo players and those who can play locally. Fantastic visuals and track set-pieces make this an engaging, fun time.

Nein, nicht alle Rinder haben Hörner, hab die Kühe des Präsidenten bei Cruis'n USA überfahren. Cruis'n Blast ist demnach der Abschuss, nur bizarre Momente und lächeln.

As long as you're willing to put up with some performance hits and the fact that there's no online multiplayer, Cruis'n Blast is a hugely entertaining arcade style racer with incredible set-pieces that has us crossing every possible body part in the hope that it's successful enough to encourage more of the same somewhere down the line.

Cruis’n Blast shoves players kicking and screaming to the time when the Dreamcast was king, racing was purely about things blowing up for no reason, and unicorns had great engine noises. And I love it for that.

Cruis'n Blast is a fun game in the short term, but lacks the depth of many other arcade racers and doesn’t offer a particularly exciting multiplayer, with just a few local 4-players modes.

I certainly had fun times in Cruisn’ Blast, particularly when my inner child was at the wheel, but my brain (which was never completely turned off) kept telling me that there are better racing games now. Cruisn’ Blast is full of nostalgia for a series that prefers the absurd above innovation or quality. There will be some voluntary and involuntary laughs here and there, as long as you are not bothered by short experiences full of Déjà vus and poor graphics.

An otherwise decent racing game, terrible AI choices, and rubber-banding cripple Cruis’n Blast. A real shame.

There's a lack of track variety, but what is here is just sheer fun arcade style racer.

It's an arcade game for sure, but I would hesitate to call it a driving game. There is no sensation of the freedom of movement or the physics of car control that comes with driving. It's more akin to a mobile lane-changer or infinite-runner game. In fact, this is basically Out Run with set pieces. Sadly that's not my idea **** time. Its arcade origins shine through in the dazzling set pieces and AI that guarantees close finishes every time, but both these things get old fast.
