I bought LEGO Racers for the N64 when it was brand new thinking, "Racing my own self-crafted LEGO vehicles? HELL YES!"
Then I heard the title music and immediately muted my TV and went into the options menu to turn all music off... which wasn't a good sign...
Then I noticed that the controls were super-sensitive. You could either turn really slowly or ridiculously fast. Made actually racing a bit of a chore, though once I found out you could use the D-Pad instead of the analog that helped... but only a little. :/
Then I noticed some of the tracks had areas which were, no joke, PITCH FREAKING BLACK. How you're supposed to navigate such areas without dropping back several positions I have no clue. >_<;
Then when I crossed the finish line at one point I tried pressing Start to speed up exiting the race which normally happens automatically, only for the game to completely lock up. When I tried this again it locked up again. Basically, pressing Start between crossing the finish line and the race being exited automatically is a bad idea. x_x;
Then, because I was just a kid and was trying desperately to gleam some enjoyment out of the game, I SOMEHOW managed to get to the final race, and your opponent just ludicrously out-performs you, making the end of the game about a million times more difficult than the rest of the game. >:(
So I finally said "screw it" and popped in Ocarina of Time instead. I literally only spent about 3 hours with LEGO Racers the day I bought it and NEVER touched it again until about 4 or 5 years later when I traded it in for about half of what I originally paid. :P
