Cruis'n Blast - Nintendo Switch

If you’re old enough to have played Cruis'n USA in the Arcades and on the Nintendo 64 then you will love this. Smooth visuals and arcade speed makes this the great spiritual successor to Cruis'n USA!

Great Arcade Racing! Mix classic Cruis'n USA and World, a dash of San Fransisco Rush, Burn-out's Classic game-play; it's got it all. Raw Thrills really knocked it out of the park. Cruis'n Blast is newcomer friendly. 4 and 5 year olds can plan and have fun as the arcade style keeps you moving forward. The music is crazy annoying and sarcastic (in a good way). The graphics are superb. the world depicted in Cruis'n Blast is a shiny crazy world with yetis, dinosaurs and aliens! Single Player is a smooth 60 FPS 1080P. Multiplayer is 30FPS. The only let down: the sound design. Its great loud arcade fun, but they did not add stereo output or any surround sound or multichannel effects. Overall its a 90-100. Do your self a favor and play this game!

Great fun game! It's exactly like the racing game at D&B's. It's only available on the Nintendo Switch. Up to 4 players local multiplayer! Don't like sharing the screen? You can play locally if you have another copy of the game and a Nintendo switch!

This is honestly one of the best racing experiences I've had in a long while. I don't tend to enjoy racing sims but more arcade style racers. While I enjoy my Mario Kart 8, Sonic Racing Transformed, Daytona USA, Hydro Thunder, etc. I never found anything with pizzazz. Cruis'n Blast has the raw energy I've been looking for in an arcade racing game. Everything feels fast from the car's speed to all the crazy environment destruction around you. It controls great with drifting feeling nice to pull off. The music's bumpin'. The AI tends to use rubberbanding but in a way that it gives you the thrill of making the final stretch to the finish line feel like a satisfying close call to 1st place. The devs also don't limit you to just cars, they added in buses, police vehicles, a helicopter, and my personal favorite the Unicorn; all of which can be decked out with neon lights and cosmetic upgrade. I can turn the Unicorn into a majestic neon Pegasus an race against a shark! I only wish there were more. More tracks, more silly vehicles, perhaps some content based on the original arcade/N64 games. Oh and online play would be nice. Other than that, Come On Go Crusin'!

Simply put, Cruis’n Blast is a fantastic example of what makes the arcade racing genre so entertaining when it's handled at its best. Later vehicles range from slightly less conventional examples like a police car, an F1 car, a motorbike and a fire engine, to more ridiculous offerings such as a helicopter, a UFO and a Triceratops. For those seeking multiplayer action, there’s split-screen for up to four players (which performs pretty well) or local wireless, but there’s no online multiplayer to speak of, which is a shame. Cruis'n Blast is a hugely entertaining arcade style racer with incredible set-pieces that has me crossing every possible body part in the hope that it's successful enough to encourage more of the same somewhere down the line.
