With first-person racing and/or shooting games becoming the most popular genre, everybody is looking for that certain twist to distinguish their product. Essentially, these games are all the same: for instance Doom, Quake, Shadow Warrior, Duke Nukem 3D. Same with this set: Ridge Racer, Carmageddon, Twisted Metal, JetMoto. Run around a maze, a track or a path, either to kill things or beat a clock. Sometimes both.

With BugRiders, you've got a track, a gun and opponents. The twist is the bugs.

With pre-planned StarFox 64 gameplay, you hop aboard a giant race-trained insect and zip through various tracks seeking the crown to the kingdom. There are lots of different bugs, some you can play, some you can't, but all with various abilities and quirks.
