A genius game, which gives my darling 9 year old step son (who is very reserved and sometimes difficult to entertain) and I hours of fun as he beats me mercilessly! Great to have found common ground! I am terrible at it, but love it!!

I thought this was an instant hit which all the family enjoyed. However, once you complete all of it, it gets quite boring but always fun to play against friends and family - particularly when your mum and dad are so bad. Also very clever to think of a Wii wheel.

We are newly a Wii family and this was one of the first games that we got. I was a bit dubious as I'm not much of a fan of racing games and thought this would be the same old thing...BOY was I wrong!

I LOVE this game! Because you are turning the wheel to move it's very easy, my 3yo can do it (sort of!) and with the slight vibrations in the Wiimote it's a completely different sensation.

Lots of races to try, though I like playing the same ones over and over. Because there are other vehicles involved (and some of them are shooting turtles at you) it's a different race each time. And in the VS mode you can show your DH who's the better driver!!

Definitely recommend this game. Great fun!

It's a good game - not a great game - but enjoyable to play. It's pretty much what you'd expect from a driving game - you can choose the car you drive, some of the settings and the character you play with (although you can't use your Mii). The Wii wheel does seem to help too.

In the earlier rounds we managed to beat the other cars easily with just the default settings but some of the tracks are more tricky than others. Overall I'd say that it's easy enough to get people playing at a party but there's still a challenge if you want to play seriously.
