Since i was little i loved Wacky Races, always was my favorite Hanna Barbera show and always will be, and when I received this game for my birthday I knew I was going to love it.
- The gameplay is solid, your advantaged racing game with power-ups for each racer very well characterized.
- The bosses was a nice touch too, encouraging the player to collect the Power Stars to unlock the rest of the racers and your powers.
- One cool addition to this game is that they brought Janet Waldo (Penelope Pitstop) and John Stephenson (Lazy Luke) to do they characters one last time.

It's a really fun racing game that's worth checking out.

Severely underrated as a kart racer, but I partially blame the lack of a PS2 release outside of Europe and a seemingly limited release in Europe (I never came across another copy aside from mine) as key reasons for this. Had this not been the case, it would've been more fondly remembered, as I do think it was ahead of its time in some important aspects.

The controls are still good. The graphics have aged nicely thanks to the colorful, vibrant cell shaded designs of the characters and karts. The game supported up to 50/60 frames per second, pretty crazy for an early PS2 game. Each kart had its own unique power-ups that were mostly taken directly from the 1960s show. There were plenty of modes: there was an adventure mode and a more relaxed arcade mode, obviously, but within adventure mode you had:
- Normal races;
- Mario Kart-esque cup tournaments;
- A mode where you have to collect 10 Muttley trophies while racing other karts (easily the most brutal mode of the game, in my eyes),
- A really fun battle mode;
- A sudden death-esque race mode where you have to catch up to the Mean Machine while avoiding all of its traps (read: glue pools);
- BOSS BATTLES;
- and let's not forget all the collectibles: stars (for finishing a level in first), clocks (for finishing a level in fast time) and mirrors (which are hidden in each level and unlock a mirror mode for the level you found it in).

And I'm not done: the music is a lot of fun and adds to the frantic nature of the game, the sound effects are diverse and appropriate, the vehicles have a lot of individual character thanks to the little animations they have, and the coin system in combination with which power-ups you choose and which short cuts you do or don't take add some strategy and risk-reward dynamics.

A really great game.

Rental as a kid.

Preferred the PS1 Wacky Races game in terms of gameplay. There's something about that game's simplicity I preferred over this one's.

The PS2 game has a creative menu though and the upgraded graphics make use of the console generation jump.
