There's different levels of difficulty. I played the N64 version as a kid, and it reached the point that I couldn't beat it (which didn't happen with very many games). But the "Amateur" circuit isn't very difficult at all. I just bought this and played 1 race and didn't crash at all, finished 1st easily. Even if you crash a few times, I think you can still win pretty easily.

I think she'd enjoy it.

This game is super easy. I beat it when i was like 9. There is one really hard course though and that's the one where there's tracks above and below and I kept falling to the lower road. Could never get first on the harder difficulties

I'm tempted, but $7.50 is just too much to pay for the nostalgia. I'm pretty sure I picked this up on PC for $1-2 several years ago. It's just not worth $7.50.

Anyone else remember this game being brutally difficult? There was one level that I never managed to win.

lol get gud

I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I played it when I was 10 and tried tons of times to beat that level, but never could. Racer was really punishing, a single crash could set you back a ton.

Sebulba was the bad guys name? seemed impossible to be best I remember but there was a code for a debug menu where you could crank the values

I believe it is the remastered version of the N64 game. Just downloaded, it looks decent...ish. Not a full remaster but more a "now playable at 1080p" sort of remaster.

This any good despite its age? I never played it back in the day

Mehh.. not in the top 20 N64 games.

Otoh, if f-zero/wipeout is your jam, there's not really anything better or worse. The fast feeling futuristic racers are all kind of the same.

This is a port the PC version of the game. So it has improved graphics over the N64 version.

The game would be difficult for a 6 year old. You need quick reaction time to be successful to advance to the next events.

I played it back in its original form, and it was pretty basic controls-wise. I think a 6yr old will pick it up quickly. If the Xbox one version has split screen/local vs, that is fun.

I played the PC version as a kid with this Logitech force feedback joystick. It was a blast. Might be hard to replace the nostalgic experience with a console controller, so I'll pass to avoid ruining the nostalgia.

There are LEGO Star Wars games that may be easier for her to play. The newest game, Saga, Was recently delayed until June, i believe.
