Iggy's Reckin' Balls

The gameplay and controls are easy to pick up for gamers of all ages, but mastering the levels will require practice. Iggy's greatest strength lies in its multiplayer appeals as you bounce about and throw your friends around. While it's far from a Mario Kart killer, Iggy does have the wheels for mass appeal and N64 fun.

One to four players choose from eight rotund characters to tackle over 100 levels by jumping, gliding, and grappling their way between Slinky�shaped platforms, wacky obstacles, and other ball-shaped opponents. The racing and time trials stress finishing quickest by reaching the top of each level, while the Battle mode emphasizes strategy and mastering attack combos with the grapple attack.
Iggy�s sharp graphics effectively produce a vertigo-inducing sense of speed and depth; however, the four-player split-screen views make key elements hard to see. The standard sound effects echo throughout the game, and the cutesy soundtrack quickly becomes repetitive (fortunately, you can turn it off).
