I remember this game actually being a pretty decent racer with a fair amount of stuff to unlock. I should probably go back to it at some point.
Mid-race powerups that change the landscape are super cool, and I love the concept of rewarding crashes, but the fumbly motion controls and the complete lack of any visual style kind of eliminate any desire for me to play this over any other racing game.
If the world MORPHING around you in real time as you fling your self into ORBIT off mountains while putting your OWN music in this arcade like INSANITY does not sound FUN... come on bro... come on. Do wish local multiplayer went up to four player then just two though.
excite is fucking right
This game kicks ass. Fun Butt-Rock soundtrack, great sense of speed, good tutorials, it controls well, and all the different ways you can get stars feel super satisfying. Definitely a highlight among the Wii launch lineup.
Low to mid 8/10

For a racing game with motion controls it's pretty fun, but that's Nintendo for you.
