Very nice if you take into account that this is for the DS.

This is actually such a good racing game, and shows off the Speed Racing franchise, characters and crazy high speed fun it has so well.

Sideramming opponents by jolting the Wii mote to either side felt really intuitive, and there is a bunch more cool stuff you can do, like driving up to opponents from behind and then flip them into the air. The ideas in this game really ought to have been put to use in an F-Zero game at some point, but I guess Nintendo stopped making those.

If you haven't played this, recommended you do so with a friend, this is veeeeeeeeerrry fun to play splitscreen.

The visuals are blurry but the art style is pretty good at least. The screen will suddenly go all LSD style when doing a boost. Amen to that.

eu não me lembro,quero rejogar


isn't every racer a speed racer? A slow racer wouldn't do very well

Pretty impressive for a movie tie-in game.

A cool racing game where you have yo beat up your racers to make it on top.

had the ds version and besides nostalgia i dont care for it

(Don't remember much about the game since I sold it almost 5 years ago and it's been even longer since I properly played it)
Pros:
+ It's about Speed Racer (always good)
+ Great game feel
+ Pretty alright music I think
+ Phenomenal graphics and backgrounds for a Wii game
+ Car-Fu is an interesting mechanic to implement to a videogame

Cons:
- Not much space to move around on the tracks, very focused on the Car-Fu mechanic. Speaking of...
- I didn't understand how the Car-Fu mechanic worked very well, and that's clearly the game's fault despite me being like 13-14 years old at the time
- Not very popular so I got like 5€ out of it

A mecânica do Car-Fu e a trilha sonora são umas das melhores desse jogo tornando ele bem divertido, além também da velocidade que sinceramente, capta toda a essência presente no filme de verdade através de todo o caos e velocidade presente nas corridas.
Mas acho que só isso não é o suficiente pra conseguir sustentar o jogo até o fim, as tracks num geral são bem parecidas, existem caminhos "paralelos" mas que você nem sequer consegue acessar (diferente da versão de DS), apesar da variação de corredores, independente sua velocidade, ou de ter usado o Nitro (os 4 de uma vez), ALGUÉM COM CARRO INFERIOR SEMPRE TE ALCANÇA CARA. É um jogo bom, mas que se tivesse um modo história e tivesse sido pensado com modos mais variados, mais tracks e um balanceamento no quesito dos carros com toda certeza seria bem melhor e lembrado.

Another example of a genuinely great licensed game. The controls feel good and the "car-fu" adds depth to the racing allowing you to destroy your opponents cars. The music in this game goes hard af. Also probably biased cuz I loved the movie as a kid and it's still one of my favorite movies of all time.

Car-fu goes way to hard. Controls way better than the Wii port.

if f-zero ever got to come back, this is a game they should copy from.

só queria que fizessem outro jogo desse, um dos melhores jogos de corrida que ja joguei.

this is the game that killed F-Zero. Nintendo knew they could never one up this

So apparently Nintendo doesn’t have any new ideas to bring to F-Zero? Pfft. Listen here, kid. Let me show you a real man’s F-Zero. F-Zero with MOTION CONTROLS.

Well, you can still remove the motion controls from this game and get a kick-ass racing game based off a legacy IP. Speed Racer the videogame is a thrilling experience. A game worthy of praise and recognition. Is there any other racing game where you can perform “car-fu?” No? Exactly. Car-fu is badass and fighting other racers while going over 200mph is pure bliss.

They even went hard for the soundtrack. Why does the soundtrack go so hard? It’s just a movie tie-in video game. Yet the soundtrack goes HARD. Too hard. Man. This game is flawless. Sure, the A.I. cheats most of the time and when you go zone mode, the Nintendo Wii suffers and all you see is pixelated mess. Sure, sometimes it feels like an automatic roller-coaster and the slightest move left or right sends you flying off the track…but give this game a 4K remaster with new graphics…oh lord. Nintendo has no excuses for the absence of F-Zero when this banger exists.

QUE JOGO FODA, quero muito rejogar.

O jogo capta a essência do filme, é um caos bonito. A jogabilidade é muito boa e, a cima de tudo, muito divertido. Os carros se batendo, os loop foda, os diálogos dos personagens, os mapas maravilhosos. Só coisa boa

LOVE BEST GAME UNDERRATED GEM <3 CREATIVE MECHANICS AND SICK LOOKING CARS DAMN MASTERPIECE CERTEZA

Another one of my favorite childhood games, this was so cool. The different type of moves you could do with your car to crash the other racers, every race track looked so unique and the soundtrack was incredible.

Still to this day will argue this game is MAD underrated. The sound track is flames, The track design is flames, The character roster is flames, The game mechanics are flames. The GAME IS FLAMES is what im trying to say.

Me cago en la puta madre que me parió este juego está muy infravalorado puede ser el juego de carreras más original de la historia tenía buenos coches buenos personajes buena música buenos circuitos buenísimas mecánicas y un "modo historia" desafiante, siempre usaba al Principe Kabala pq tenía el coche guapísimo aunque el de la serpiente molaba un huevo también y trixie me ponía la chotita titilante pero era rosa d niña así que pasando (en la versión de Wii no estaba el mono como en la de Play 2 y eso me pone triste )

achei descente e promissor no começo, tem várias ideias de corrida e batalhas em meio à corrida q são mt boas, mas o jogo é só isso e n tem nem sequer um modo história, é só ir lá e correr.
além de o nível "pro" ser completamente injusto e quase impossível ao invés de um desafio maior e justo


much like the movie, if they made this today it would probably be hailed as one of the greatest video games ever made

Surprisingly inventive game based on the Wachowski film. You can side-ram opponents or drive up to them from behind and flick them into the air. You can spin around as an attack, you can jump into the air and you can even attack from the air! All these things are done with just the Wii remote and it's surprisingly intuitive. Also: When you boost, the screen turns all LSD-like. If you want a breath of fresh air, definitely give this game a shot. Splitscreen co-op also included. (So fun!) Your mind will probably be screaming "WHY ISN'T THERE AN F-ZERO LIKE THIS??"

Also on PS2 with more racers and tracks, but severely downgraded visuals.

< 1er vistazo #105 >
-> Buscando algún título de carreras, para la portátil de doble pantalla, que no sea el tan recurrente Mario Kart DS (que tarde o temprano volveré a jugar xP), opté por darle una oportunidad a un videojuego que recuerdo haber jugado algo en su momento :O.
-> Well... lo que más destaca es esa sensación de velocidad, acompañado por las distintas acrobacias que pueden realizarse con el vehículo... UUUFFF... y eso que también existe la posibilidad de un mini enfrentamiento con otros corredores :v.
-> Las pistas logran reforzar sus distintas mecánicas (considerando que no existen objetos para utilizar y la barra de turbo se llena con nuestras acciones) aunque, respecto a lo estético, dan la impresión de no diferenciarse tanto unas de otras... x.X.
-> Con los infaltables modos, el desbloqueo de personajes ocurre a la par de que vamos ganando las distintas copas... uhm... haciendo algo de memoria... también existen las "misiones", pero... no hay alguna pista para obtener la máxima valoración posible :/.
-> Por otra parte, al ser un título basado en una película (al menos eso creo :v) trae tanto personajes de la misma como otros inéditos, con sus respectivas estadísticas... aunque no logré percibir alguna diferencia notable en el manejo xP.
-> Aún me falta revisar "otras" funciones, pero, cubriendo, por ahora, lo "más importante"... puedo decir que esta entrega llega a quedarse a medias en todo lo que hace u.U.

The Wii version was better, but now the emulator upscaled PS2 version is the way to play.

I don't know why they done and put some real effort into this when making this movie tie-in game. The effort pays off in most ways as the racing actually fucking bangs at times. Not crazy about the some of the courses because of how many damn curves there are but it's challenging at least.
