I have no idea if MRC: Multi-Racing Championship is any good. I have no evidence to prove it "blurs more than just the scenery," or whether or not it "blurs the lines between gaming and reality." These seem like heavily inflated claims, but there's no reason for me to doubt the people behind Shaq Fu and Mr. Nutz. What I do know is that the Nintendo 64 has a terrible controller and having it take the place of a car's steering wheel is pure lunacy.

I know it seems obvious, but this ad has left me no choice. For one thing, the control is clownishly small when compared to a real steering wheel. It also doesn't rotate, so you'll need to crouch down and use the analog stick while somehow paying attention to the road. Think the Nintendo 64 control is hard to use now? Just wait until you have to curve your arms in natural positions just to make those tough corners.

Of course, you and I both know this isn't a real car. It's painfully obvious that none of this is real, and not just because there's a Nintendo 64 control in place of a steering wheel. None of these gauges, panels or windows looks realistic -- they're clearly the work of an arts and crafts day at the local elementary school. This isn't a dashboard -- it's a piece of wood with painted bottle caps glued to the side. And you're not on a real road -- that's just a mat painting. The only way you would confuse this picture with a real car is if you're quickly flipping through the magazine and standing a yard away. The whole thing is lazy, which may explain why I've never heard of Multi-Racing Championship.
