Is that music Paramore or did they just completely rip off their song Misery Business?
Also, this game needs more explosions. tbqh

It actually looks like a pretty solid WW racer! Let's hope it controls as well as it looks like it does.

I hope it has some sort of drift mechanic, though it doesn't look like it based on what was shown in the vid.

I'm not really into racing games. But this looks awesome for a WiiWare title nonetheless. I'm curious to see what other games Icongames are planning for WiiWare.

Hmm - track mania!? Anyone remember Stunt Car Racer on the C64 back in the day, that game was great...

Stunt Car Racer was incredible, much better than what this seems to be.. Graphics are ok, but gameplay seems flat... just another arcade racer with no realism and no need to think what you're doing...
The way you had to hit the jumps in Stunt Car Racer at the right speed to fall at the correct spot (too slow and you ended up between ramps, slowing you down. Too fast and you fell hard on the road damaging your card) really added another dimension to that game. I was hooked on the Amiga, but recently even tried the ZX Spectrum game and it's amazing what they accomplished in such a small machine...

It's better than Mart Racer.

Kind of looks like a civilized version of Excitebots.

Looks as dull as ditch water in terms of gameplay, but visually it's quite pretty for WiiWare. I'll pass and concentrate my cash on the VC in the hope that one days some decent racers (other than the Nintendo ones) arrive.

Wow, great graphic effects for a WiiWare game. I hope this really turns out to be a solid racer. Will this come to Europe too, or is it only reserved for USA?

Think I'll be noting this down in my insta-download list.

It just doesn't look as, well, exciting - as ExciteTruck (then again that's not available as WiiWare). From the video I got the impression "2 SECOND AIR" is the main trick that rings up an award. I did like when the car went under the semi truck. I enjoy many racers including Mario Kart Wii, ExciteBots, and SpeedRacer as well, so I will possibly check this out as a download game.

It seems like a competent effort, but when you consider the GameCube racers you can now find in bargin bins for less money it kind of loses any appeal.
At least in my books.
And if it's tilt racing you want, Excite Truck is probably in it's own bargin bin by now as well.

I agree non Nintendo racers are a gaping hole in the VC lineup.

Well... Stunt Car Racer for the C64 VC would certainly be a great release... in fact there are so many great C64 games that could be released on the VC... c'mon!!!!!!!!!

looks good... nice sense of speed... love how you look like you're driving a hotwheels car... but it's called stunt racer. all i saw were 2 second air-time jumps. are there no tricks?!

@maka Yep, the C64 version was also free of multi-load and the animation and controls were pretty great. Would let the Megadrive gather dust whilst playing that game which - yep - was much better than this looks. This looks ok, though great arcade racing games are all in the handling for me such as Sega Rally and Out Run 2.

graphics look better then some crappy third party wii games. but I agree it looks too easy. for simple wide tracks like that, the steering/physics should be part-sim, not pure arcade. that's why I love burnout, you have to dodge traffic & take turns well while racing or crash splendidly.
