    There will inevitably be some racing game fans that will find enough good in this title to warrant a purchase, but the broken gameplay, cheap AI, and dismal visuals will likely be more than enough to scare everyone else off.

    Nothing about this game is good. It's one of the most horrible games ever made.

    This is as bad as it gets. SPOGS Racing is ugly, boring, and sports some of the worst racing AI ever. It's an absolute joke that D2C is charging money for this. SPOGS looks like someone's first go at homebrew developing.

    SPOGS Racing at least gets the honour of being the worst game on WiiWare. It looks awful and it plays even worse. It's the most inept game I've played on any format, in any genre, in recent memory.

    I rather buy myself a meal at In N out for $5 than buy this for 48. This game sickens me.

Then again, we wouldn`t want younger gamers to be traumatized by this piece of butt chocolate, then passing on there brain damaged intelligents (as a result of playing this atrocity) onto other generations. The part is that it`s DOWNLOADABLE, which probably means some kid or unfourtunate family or soul right now is downloading it after reading that lying discription on the Wii Shop Channel. ~This game is a must buy~.....if you want to tourture yourself. It`s shovelware of the highest order.… Expand
