ReZourceman Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 If I don't import the Wii itself then I'll definitely be importing this title, unless it comes out within a week or 2. Old thread bump! How lovely is it when you plunder your back catalogue and rediscover an old flame? Been playing this again a lot recently, and I stand by my comments years ago that this is one of the best Wii games and a complete joy. What's so startling is how it seemed to hit the ground running with some amazing controls and levels so early in the Wii's lifespan. There's nothing like grabbing big air and hearing the whoosh of space and the music stop as you drop back to earth with a thump on top of a rival and a cheeky boost. A classic Wii gaming moment for me. I'll never forgive some of the low scores it got at the time (Edge 6/10! WTF??), but I think time has revealed the true diamond within and it has quite the following now. For me this is easily the racing classic that the Wii needed and like F-Zero GX on the GC before it, it deserves to be remembered as such. If any of you are craving a truly great Wii racer and you haven't played this...where were you? Try and get it now if you can. I saw Cube playing this at Extra Life and had to dig it out myself. Absolutely one of the best Wii games. One of the best motion control games. Classic. So arcadey. So fun. Fast. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Peeps Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I'm still planning to dig it out and have a good session on it. Might delete my save so I can go through and S it all again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh64 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Wonderful game, I especially love Scotland and that HUGE canada track (the last one) I still remember the golden days of flying around and pulling off tricks to the killer sound track of Scatman John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) We put it on the stream, too. Unfortunately my skills have dwindled since I last had it, so I was unable to replicate (note: quality of footage is terrible).

nekunando Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Bumping this thread gave me false hope of a sequel The timing is strange, though, as I played it myself the other day for the first time in ages and it's still amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
