WDC is able to bridge the chasm between the two ends of the racing genre, arcade and sim. That, my friends, is no small accomplishment.

If you're looking to hop into an intense racing experience without the hinderances of setting the vehicle up or dealing with super accurate damage than this game is for you.

The system has its fair share of racing titles to be sure, but most of those games feature balloon-headed cartoon drivers or vehicles that jump over city buildings. What a breath of fresh air then, to be able to play a game on the Nintendo 64 that is at once stunning to behold and completely satisfying in its realism.

Best Nintendo 64 drive game so far! + Simulation drive mode + Super circuit design
+ Learning curve - car crash
- games mode
Conclusion: take time to handle
7
Another solidly put together racing game that's slightly lacking in thrills but technically one of the better ones on the N64.

um dos jogos de corrida mais subestimados de todos, e sendo um dos melhores que ja joguei, conteudo de sobra, graficos maravilhosos (TOP 3 de Jogos de N64), jogabilidade Otima, Cenarios maravilhosos e variados (destaque para Las Vegas Track B a mais bela do jogo), somente as musicas do jogo que são um pouco repetitivas, mas fora isso é um Jogão, sem sobra de duvidas um dos melhores jogos de corrida simuladores que joguei.

This is something that shouldn't be passed up by anyone. If you are impatient with videogames or don't like GT style racing games, I suggest you at least give it a rent. Play a few hours and unlock a few cars, you'll be hooked and will love every second of it.

This is a challenging game. One of the best from N64. The graphics are very good, with good cars and courses, extremely detailed. If you looking for a good racing game with a good career mode and hard championshing, you will love WDC.

WDC is the 'Tetris' of driving games. Instead of bombarding the senses with helicopters, exaggerated sunsets, and flying jumps, everything in WDC feels decisively low-key and ultimately adds to the Zen-like quality.

If you can forgive World Driver Championship's speed problems, you'll find a deep, addictive racing experience. It's not nearly as polished as the PlayStation's racing gem, Gran Turismo, but it's as close as N64 owners can get without buying a PlayStation.

Although World Driver Championship is technically superb and looks gorgeous, it''s arcadey where it should be realistic and vice versa. The end result is that it's just not thrilling enough.

World Driver’s faults can be easily overlooked. Midway and Boss have managed to offer up a simulator that sits just this side of “arcade style” and actually do it right. Anyone with a little patience will get good at this game fairly quickly and find that it’s quite hard to put down. World Driver’s definitely a keeper.
57
World Driver Championship is an average racing game with exceptional graphics. The game's incredible visuals give you a sense of realism for a little while, but the second your car starts to do an excessive slide around a turn, it kind of falls apart.

Graphics: 9.5 Sound: 7.8 Gameplay: 8.6 Fun/Story: 8.2 N64 lack of decent racing games was the only negative aspect of this system. With good and solid graphics and a semi-realism gameplay, WDC was a great release for N64 fans. Apart the sound the game is very good.
