Description

This is a straightforward racing game controlling the famous candy coated chocolate pieces in karts. There are four game modes: Quick Race, Training, Arcade and Tournament. There are different karts and courses to choose from, and some of them have to be unlocked in the Tournament mode first. Karts' statistics are based on speed, acceleration, handling and stability. While racing players earn points by finishing first, performing stunts and collecting coins and chocolate chips. These can be exchanged in the garage to upgrade the vehicle or buy a new kart.

There are fifteen courses in total. Controlling the karts is done through the Wii remote (acceleration, brake, movement). Raising the remote lets the karts jump and doing it twice, quickly, leads to a double jump or a two-wheel stunt drive on ramps. Spinning the Wii remote at the start allows for a turbo start. The game can be played in split-screen multiplayer in two modes: Quick Race (one lap) and Full Throttle (three laps).

A Total waste of time and money

The Good
Honestly? Nothing...

The Bad
Ok, so right away you notice it bears a resemblance to Mario Kart... well... right when you get in game you really understand why this is a waste, the carts control like a tank and have such stiff turning and it is so unresponsive that I found myself crashing into every obstacle or wall that is in my way. The collision detection is another thing that fails this game, for example my cart once clipped onto the pole on one of the signs in the game! next, the graphics, completely awful, but really what do you expect, its on the Wii, but honestly I have seen the Wii do way better so there is NO excuse. You got the standard selection of characters here, the Red, Yellow, Green, blue, and.... Orange? wait the Orange one was never in any of the commercials I remember? Also you have a variety of carts and levels to chose from, you only start with a few but then you have to unlock the rest witch is stupid because I cant see anyone playing this long enough to unlock any of this, and if you do you have some sort of problem because this game is just so awful that I found myself throwing the disk across the room after I played it once.

The Bottom Line
An awful game with low end graphics, awful controls, and clearly a Mario Kart Rip-off. Do NOT buy, go to the store and get Mario Kart Wii if you want a racing game for the Wii
