    Takes an old genre and breathes new life into it. Top-down racing hasn't been this fun in ages. [Oct 2009, p.86]

    Even with a handful of odd quirks and strange omission, this is easily one of the better WiiWare games available to download, and 800 points seems like the perfect sweet spot for the type of game you’re getting on Wii.

    Me & my boys have played this non-stop since we dowloaded it, fantastic topdown retro fun, I grew up near an arcade with the orignal Black &Me & my boys have played this non-stop since we dowloaded it, fantastic topdown retro fun, I grew up near an arcade with the orignal Black & White Atari Sprint so I'm well into this. Sadly we've unlocked everything after a couple of weeks but it's still got high replay value. Hope they do an extra track expansion pack !… Full Review »

    The price is totally worth it. The graphics are nice, the ammount of game play is excellent for the price, and the 8 person multi player is great. Also, there are a lot of vehicle types to unlock which gives the game a good run of single player fun as well.

    The negative stuff that keeps me from rating it a 10 is no wifi and it would have been fun to have some Iron Man type features with purchasing tires, nitros, and additional tracks-- but its and $8 title--- so in that aspect, its amazing for what you get.

    But that stuff a side, this is one of the better Wiiware titles out there. If you use your wii for local party gaming its a must have...and if you're into some casual single player racing-- also a must have.    … Full Review »

    The minute sprites make it hard to see which vehicle is which.
    The sound effects are good and music is OK.
    You can choose from dune buggies to large trucks and have any mix in a race.
    More tracks would have been nice.    … Full Review »
