Speed Racer: The Videogame

"Speed Racer succeeds where most movie-based games fail; it's actually enjoyable. But the lackluster modes and missing online play makes it an ideal rental or bargain purchase. However, until Nintendo debuts its newest F-Zero, this is the best futuristic racing game on Wii. Go see the movie on May 9 and then take a few laps with this bad boy if you simply can't resist."

"Speed Racer maintains the shiny look and aggressive feel of the film's high-speed sprints, with races upon rollercoaster-esque suspended platforms that loop in every which direction."

"Flashy lights, no slowdown, somewhat tricky A.I.; the game does a good job of being a sharp-looking game."

"F-Zero clones usually suck and so do a lot of licensed-based games, but Speed Racer: The Videogame defies the odds in both cases. Give it a try. You're in for a pleasant surprise! "

"Movie-to-videogame projects are seldom any good and in contrast usually offensively bad, but Wii's Speed Racer actually defies the odds for an end experience that captures the style and intensity of the movie and slaps it all between some fun gameplay mechanics."
