Cruis&s;n Blast

"Cruis&s;n Blast is a fun game in the short term, but lacks the depth of many other arcade racers and doesn&s;t offer a particularly exciting multiplayer, with just a few local 4-players modes."

"Cruis’n Blast is the curious case of a great game on the outside, but empty on the inside. The main gameplay is exhilarating, with fast races and responsive controls. The circuits, with their gigantic jumps, comically absurd situations and unexpected …"

"Cruis&s;n Blast is a faithful port of the arcade classic, that suffers from the straight port of the same game. It&s;s fun, it&s;s fast, and will keep you entertained for hours. However, unless you&s;re a huge fan of arcade racers, …"

"Cruis’n Blast is a fantastic trip back to the past with some modern luxuries to round out the package. This is not a game for everyone. It can be maxed out in a day and the replay comes from the …"

"Do you miss oldschool arcade racing games? This one is a real blast from the past that will keep those memories alive."

"Cruis&s;n Blast for Nintendo Switch has been developed by a very small team, and for what it has achieved it is very admirable. It is an incredibly fun title for the first couple of hours, but it is lacking in …"

"Overall, whether I&s;d recommend Cruis&s;n Blast on Nintendo Switch depends on how you&s;re going to play it. For short bursts, it&s;s a solid entry and you&s;ll likely have a lot of fun with it, though you may want to wait …"

"I absolutely do miss those days. I can’t get on with realistic racing games, so I crave a steady diet of the stuff that Cruis’n Blast gives. At the same time, I normally rented racing games on the N64 and …"
