Mike, no one is bashing EA for making a kart racer. We are bashing EA for making a Mario Kart clone. They could have come up with an original kart racer that offered different gameplay. However this game even uses Items similar to Mario Kart, they just changed the names.
@senortaco EA is not taking the safe route on the HD consoles. Mirror's Edge, Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth, a RTS game developed for a gamepad, Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, another RTS game developed for a gamepad, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, another RTS game developed for a gamepad, Dead Spce, and The Lord of the Rings: Conquest. All of these games are expensive to develop and no Wii game, developed by EA, even comes close to matching the development resources or the polish of those games. EA is looking to spend as little money on the develpment of Wii games as possible to make the most on their return.

Crash Team Racing was both a Mario Kart clone and a fantastic game. (Haven't read the whole thread. Sorry if its been said already)
That being said... the game doesn't look very good. It should be noted, however, that I dislike Nascar very much.
