Topic: Racing Goodness En Route

Trackmania Wii?! NOWAI! They need to improve the graphics, but it looks totally awesome so far.

Ha! Nice one dude. Prepare to lose a small chunk of your life. Enjoy.

I'm glad to see people showing interest in TM, means I'll have plenty of folk to race against and share tracks with. Sweet!

Yeah, it's pretty good so far. I wonder how this game has sold?

Enjoying Dirt. Looking forward to Trackmania - Did they say 10 December in that video?

I will rent NfS and F1, but I doubt I'll keep em. That said though, NfS does look fun

Hey, will TM Wii have Wi-Fi?

@Odnetnin: 200 tracks, race online, d/l other users tracks using SD, snow, coast, rally, stadium, iron and island environments, platform and puzzle modes too, 60 fps, full track editor from the pc game, and Machu dribbles a bit.
Q1 2010 atm though, but it'll be worth waiting for if they can emulate the awesome community the pc version has. Yum!

EDIT: Oooh, and 4plyr split screen too.

My mouth is watering.

I might get Dirt 2 tomorrow. I've been eyeing it every time I go to the shops...
Incidentally Machu, did you ever play Ferrari Challenge? I like that game and it uses the wheel.

@Outrunner: I've lost track of the amount of times I've been stood in Game with Ferrari in one hand, and something else in the other. Ferrari keeps losing out. Next time I'm in town I'm gonna grab it, looks good from the vids and I need my tarmac fix.

Let me know your impressions on Ferrari, Machu. I've performed the same ritual about a half dozen times.

Well they all look pretty decent (although I'm glad I'll probably never have to suffer through the song on the NFS vid again! )
But to be honest, having loved Exite Truck, I'm more looking forward to Excitebots - if it ever sees the light of day on our side of the pond :/

And obviously the dream is F-Zero Wii
(F-Zero GX was easily one of the greatest ever racers )

Sims Racing is pretty darned fun. I think I like it better than Mario Kart.

Actually, they say Dirt 2 is very bad on Wii, here a video:

Here are some other racing games reviews:

@opeter: So when you said 'they', you meant some idiot who was comparing it to the 360/PS3 version and just whined about graphics whilst banging into walls. I hope you don't mind if I completely ignore your suggested 'impressions'.

@machu: off course! I'm personally looking forward, to buy Dirt 2 and Speed Zone.

@opeter: I want dirt 2 as well, and it's getting mixed reviews from various (unreliable) sources. Such as ONM giving it 70+, which I'd like to trust, but need to find one from somewhere more reputable (and less biased).
I'll report back when I find one.

Yeah I try to find some decent reviews too. IGN, Gamespot... still nothing.
It would be also very nice, if one of the guys at Nintendolife would review DIRT2 in the comming weeks.

ditto

Saw Dirt 2 in my local shopping centre for 25 quid. I think I'm gonna get it. It looks good in that video.

@Outrunner: £25 at launch, no pre-release reviews, that's usually not a good sign. Under the radar, so to speak. I hope I'm wrong.
