Family Slot Car Racing (500pts) - Some Carrera thingy for 2 players I think. It's kind of special and it's in the WiiWare Top 20 for months. It climbed up to a respectable #2 for a few weeks.
Heracles Chariot Racing (800pts) - 4 player Mario Kart clone. Don't know much about it, but it's the typical splitscreen four player battle race.
SPOGS Racing (1000pts) - From what I've seen and heard it should be avoided as it's an ugly disgusting waste of points and contender for the worst WiiWare game yet.
Driift Mana (800pts) - Possibly the best. Top-down arcade racer Super-Off Road / Super Sprint style with 8 player support.
I have not included Mart Racer here, because I know nothing about it and it's not out over here.
Well I have Driift Mania, Heracles: Chariot Racing, HV Hot Rod Show, and Mart Racer.
I'd have to say that the first 3 are great for different reasons with each having their own flaws. It depends on the type of experience you're looking for, really. That's what it boils down to. For example, if you want more of a single-player focus, Driift Mania will hand it to you the best out of the bunch, IMO.
If you have any further questions on any of the above games, let me know. I'd be more than happy to answer.
P.S. - Don't bother with Slot Car Racing. I don't have it but you can do so much better than a simple game that basically consists of holding the A Button with very little interaction on the part of the player.
@KS8: Thanks for the heads up on the slot car game. I was going to stay far away from that that one anyway as I had heard about the button thing before.
I'm still playing through Driift Mania slowly (haven't had much time; very busy schedule) and hopefully I'll be able to play more this weekend.
As for my thoughts on HCR, you can always check Wiiloveit.com. I definitely enjoyed it more than I thought I would and it's better than just "so-so", verging on great, IMO. Just a few things bring it down - which, really, is the case with all racing games on WiiWare so far.
I have to say Hot Road Show. I did not like it at first but I gave it a second chance and its pretty good. They took the time to include several control options which in my book helps any game out. I got Drift Mania and it is good but I did not think it was great or anything (Club Nintendo people can get 10 coins on there account for the survey on this one, if you did not already know that). The rest of my downloaded racing games are from the VC.
The only one I have is Driift Mania, and I love it! It only took me a weekend to unlock everything, but I am glad that I did! Some of these modes are intense! Two modes have no CPU support, so they are pointless unless you have some buddies to play with. The other three modes work with computers.
Meteorite is my favorite, you race around the track avoiding falling meteors, this isn't a race, so you can take your time. Points are awarded for how many laps completed. I can't get enough of this mode. Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVODdUBoGnY
Driift has a very wide variety of vehicles, there are even some pretty crazy ones.
Both! I played half the time alone and the other half with a friend and had fun either way. I had the most fun playing with a friend, though. If you don't have 7 friends, you can fill the remaining slots in with bots.
