Outlook: Well.....it’s a bowling game. Not unlike any other bowling game. So....if you’re a fan of bowling or bowling games I guess you should try it out. I don’t really have an opinion one way or the other for this game. That’s about it.

Features:

Outlook: This is a game that’s been delayed here to the point that most everyone has forgotten about it. Does anyone care now? This has to be the most delayed game in videogame history......aside from the long forgotten Robotech 64 *ahem* I won’t go there. If I remember correctly it was supposed to come out a year and a half ago and has been scheduled for almost every month since then. It may or may not come out this month but I figured I’d list it just in case.

Features:

*The moves that only Taz can make - pick up, carry and throw any object, jump on to skyscrapers, eat anything that gets in your way, and destroy everything in your path with the famous Taz spin.

*A unique 3D engine provides the first ever truly interactive, "living" environment -- just about everything in the game can be changed and interacted with.

*Looney Tunes spirit all the way - Wile E. Coyote, Marvin The Martian and Yosemite Sam guest star in over 30 levels of fast, fun gameplay.

*A crazy adventure with 5 huge worlds to explore - the Tasmanian Bushlands, Tasmanian City, Mars, Monument Valley, and the Wild West.

*Save your game directly to the cartridge due to the battery pack.

Outlook: Taz Express looks pretty neat. It has Taz in it so it’s going to be entertaining in it’s own way although I’m not sure how it will be on the gameplay side. The best advice that I can give is that if you like the Looney Tunes and Taz then it’s something worth checking out, otherwise maybe give it a rent to see how you like it. It’s also had a few problems on the publishing side lately so we’ll see if it even comes out.

Features:

*1 to 4 player non-stop racing action

*Exotica, Freestyle and Challenge Modes

*28 Exotic cars to race

*60 Tracks from around the world

*Classic Cruis'n gameplay and control

Outlook: It’s funny to me. The first Cruis’N title on the system was in my opinion, garbage. And yet it sold like there was no tomorrow. Then there was Cruis’N the World which, yes, improved upon the first game but is there a need for a sequel? There is one thing that I’ll give it, it looks a LOT better than the previous ones and maybe midway will prove that the third time is a charm. If arcade style racing is your thing then keep an eye out for CRUIS’N Exotica!
