My brother just got a Wii and asked me about what racing games are worth getting and since I'm not really a fan of racing game (outside of Mario Kart) I don't know what to tell him help?

Excitebots sounds like something he might like and they have it for under $20 on Amazon.

Excite Bots is really well done but you need to be accepting of racing transforming bugs which I'm not so much. Excite Trucks is nearly as good but a little more down to earth reality based. I haven't played any others except Mario Kart. Track Mania was good on the PC years ago so I imagine it's still just as good.

I would say AVOID Sega All Stars Racing... it has framerate issues and the only thing it tries to do is Copy Mario Kart, so stick with the original. The huge online system and exciting local multiplayer will keep you busy for years.

Copying Mario Kart isn't a bad thing, and it has a MUCH better Battle Mode.

Sega All Stars Racing is kinda fun so you might aswell pick it up if your after a new challenge. I find it slightly harder than mario kart but then saying that it isnt hard is it.

For what it's worth, I enjoyed Sega All-Stars Racing. All it needed was a Shenmue track! It does help if you're a Sega fan though. Otherwise you won't know who the characters are or where the tracks are set.

The Wii isn't known for it's RPGs, but racing is the genre that really gets the shaft. If you're a Wii owner, you buy Mario Kart Wii and/or Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing. I hope you like Go Karts.

Speed Racer is a game you may also want to check out. Speed Racer controls well but it is one ugly bare bones Wii game. I wouldn't mention it except it sells for $10 or $15 on Amazon. At that price you could just pretend it was an exceptional WiiWare game and be happy--but it probably won't impress your friends or any Speed Racer fans.

You can also try Trackmania and need for speed nitro.

Racing games and Wii in the same sentence? LOL, good one.
Tis a shame that the Wii has been so shafted in this genre.Especially considering that the Gamecube had two of my all time fave racers (Burnout 2 / F-Zero GX). Theres no reason that the Wii shouldn't have good racers, its the likes of EA who put so much effort into the HD racers NFS etc but then just churn out shoddy dross like the NFS Wii game. Fortunatley I have a 360 for my racing fixes but I feel sorry for Wii only owning racers.

What's this bit for again?

SEGA Racing is great. The online mode is close to dead, though.

Drift Mania is a pretty fun top-down racer. It supports up to eight players locally. (4 people use Wii Remotes and 4 people use nunchuks.)

ExciteBike: World Rally is a great remake of the NES classic. (No local multiplayer, though.)

There is also MotoHeroz, just announced recently. Its a platforming racer, or a racing platformer? Something like that, check the video here: http://wiiware.nintendolife.com/news/2011/02/motoheroz_traile...
