Iggy's Reckin' Balls is the best game I ever played. You get to race your heads off. You get to haves fun for hours. No game will ever be better than Iggy's Reckin' Balls. So please give Iggy's Reckin' Balls 5 stars.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Iggy tried something new... and won
Iggy's Reckin' Balls is the only game like it on the system. Likewise, it's very difficult to try to explain just exactly how it all works. But it does, and that's the important thing. If you think Iggy is a racing game, you are only partially right. This also includes a lot of elements from platform games. You don't just roll down slopes and through loops; you also grapple through floors, jump onto moving platforms, and catch elevators to help you advance in these very strange courses (to name a few). 100 tracks and plenty of original characters sets aside a lot of time to see, earn, and do. Throw in a four-player mode and a bonus battle mode and you're gonna love this. The bad thing about Iggy? It takes too long to get good at it. If you hope to invite some friends over for a quick-play, then think again. It'll take even your most ambitious friends at least a half hour to grasp onto how to play right. So if your friends will never play with you, then I probably wouldn't buy this. Once you've opened up everything, playing with the computer is just downright frustrating and boring.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Extremely fun and addicting
I wasn't really wanting to rent "Iggy's Reckin' Balls" that badly awhile back, but there wasn't hardly any Nintendo 64 games at the video store that I hadn't already played, so I picked it up, and I'm glad I did! You can play up to 4 players at a time, and you have to choose one of several characters that all have their own strengths and weaknesses. Once you choose your players, it's time to get to racing!

"Iggy's Reckin' Balls" is definitely a unique game, there's no others like it. Instead of the typical kind of racing, you make your way through several tall, long, and winding towers and try to find the checkered place to complete a lap. You have to make your way by moving around the places, and especially by using your grappling hook to make you way up the towering towers. To help you along your way, there are several weapons to use such as turbo for an extra burst of speed, bombs and other obstacles to lay and throw at your opponents to try and slow them down, a weapon that will sometimes make you fly all the way to the end of the level, invincibility, and many others.

The levels themselves are very impressive both graphically and with their structure. The worlds are all different, ranging from an easy one that is basically training you to become better, a candy-looking world, water worlds, and many more! The levels also have their own special challenges and features. Many have places that automatically speed you up and make you go through upside down loops, which might remind you of some of the Sonic The Hedgehog games. Other levels have a better challenge and have platforms and other structures that move or disappear and reappear.

To start out, you'll have many characters to choose from, such as a dinosaur-looking one named Iggy, a sun named Sonny, a jack-o-lantern, and many others. There are also 5 worlds with 10 levels each to choose from from the start. That's when the replay value comes into place. There are 5 extra worlds that you can open up, for a total of 10 worlds and 100 levels in all. And there are a lot of extra characters that you can open up so they can become playable. Not to mention that racing isn't your only option of play, there is also a mode of play where you just try and defeat all your opponents, and a few other modes of play.

I recommend anybody who likes fun and addicting video games to get "Iggy's Reckin' Balls." It might look cheesy or childish, but once you play it, you'll find out that it's definitely one of the funnest games made for the Nintendo 64.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Iggy's Reckin' Balls
I thought this game was awesome! Intellectually more compelling than any shoot'em up game or sports game. Also, graphics and design concept are clear and vibrant. You'd have to be a gamer with extreme hostility issues not to enjoy the art of the basic mario style genre game. I have bought this for my friends who also after playing it really got addicted. So, sit up, gather your friends, and enjoy.
