That really is one crazy arena

Okay, so Racers' Island: Crazy Racers didn't quite live up to our expectations, but next week sees combative successor Racers' Islands: Crazy Arenas swerve to Europe for a more reasonable 800 Points.

Essentially transplanting the game's drive-and-shoot gameplay to an arena setting, it still supports 8 player action via sharing the Remote and Nunchuk between driver and gunner. It's not all just deathmatches though – the game includes five different variations that should hopefully keep gamers' interest high.

Racers' Islands: Crazy Arenas launches on WiiWare in Europe on October 22nd for 800 Points, with a North American release to follow.

Five lively games designed for the multiplayer experience!
The game offers an atypical gameplay which is not just about driving a vehicle. You need to know how to aim and shoot with each character’s special weapon to adapt your strategy for each challenge. Drive with your Nunchuk™, aim and shoot with your Wii Remote™!
But the best way to play in Crazy Arenas is the multiplayer mode: all the arenas have been designed specifically to have fun with friends. You are therefore able to play with up to 4-player in split screen. You may even want to share the controllers for each driver to go up to 8 people simultaneously. The one drives while the other shoots: here’s something to get you stuck to your screen for many hours!
