High Voltage Hot Rod Show (WiiWare)

Five racers? No online?
Usually I'm not one to clamor for online multiplayer, but it's essential in a game like this.
Racing against the computer is only fun for so long, and most people aren't with friends 24/7.

But the game doesn't look good anyway.
I'm not sure we'll ever see a good racer on WiiWare.

Well, this looks a bit better than Spogs [which isn't saying much].

@Nintendork

Agreed. Seriously, we need some good racers on WiiWare. Even so, are we being judgmental on a game that isn't released yet just because of the failure that was SPOGS? Probably. As for if we are right, only time will tell

No online!? Now I'm officially worried about this game.

OH BOY 6 TRACKS 5 RACERS! i cant wait for this game its going to be awesome [kidding] also @mr. cheez WOW no online well not im not going to even read the reviews now

Looks good, another great game from HVS!

Could be fun, but chances are I'll only play it far a day or two and then forget about it, like all my other racers.

Unless it's under 600 Points, I won't be buying this.

I hope it's good, because it looks good, and is backed up with lots of hype.
@-TR: WTF? No good racing game, or any good game for that matter, is worth under 600 points! Are you mad? If you want a racing game for 500 points, get Excitebike, or else you have no hope.

Yeah, that's stretching it...

Why couldn't they incorporate full-fledged online play? No WiiWare racer has done that. I bet it would be worth 1000 Points at that price if they did it well.

Oh well. At least there's SOME Wi-fi support. I hope for their sakes this turns out good. It appeals to me and I'll most certainly give it a try if I hear good things from you guys or in the review.

it would be better with online but at least it doesn't look half-assed like SPOGS did

Yep yep!
They explained in their interview that Online integration would take much more time especially with coding, adapting to Nintendo's WFC Standards etc. But yeah, graphics are solid and it seems great. Has anyone tried it yet?

@koto: No, there is nothing [email protected]$$ed about SPOGS, because it has no @$$ at all! Unless that is, you consider it as being a turd from the @$$ of Wiiware (which is exactly what it is) - LOL!

So, Stardust, you don't like SPOGS?

LOL! Adam. XD

Just so everyone knows, Hot Rod Show is awesome, but short. Its a must have if you've got multiplayer peeps around. For the single guys and gals... if you're rich (like, if you have TENS of dollars) then I'd consider picking it up. Especially if you like time attack. You'll finish it in about an hour or two, but the game is really well done, so you might come back to have some fun every now and again.

Thanks! You just helped convince me even more!

And yeah, I'm a heavy TA'er so I'll enjoy the Leaderboards.

Length isn't a huge prob since the main sources of RV are Time Trials & playing with 2-4 People. Multiplayer focus was a given anyway.

you guys who commented at the beggining really misunderstood this game, it is an awesome little racer game and even if it has no online play, it still holds a lot of replay value for me

Yeah, it shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as SPOGS Racing. Despite the lack of online play, it's actually quite ambitious!

If the wii wheel doesn't work well enough on this...I'm out...
