IGN Wii's Review of Offroad Extreme Special Edition
"Tight control. A smooth framerate. Polished graphics. Lots of variety. These descriptions have no place in a review of Offroad Extreme! Special Edition for Wii. They are verbal tourists walking through a very seedy part of town, and if they don't catch a taxi soon – perhaps off to a review of Super Mario Galaxy -- they're going to be beaten, robbed, raped or murdered. Now, words like archaic, malfunctioned and offensive – these are descriptors that belong in this review, for this new racing game would be mechanically and aesthetically broken if it were released a decade ago, let alone today. It is not only a graphical turd, skipping along inconsistently at 20 frames or fewer, but it is nearly unplayable; you're supposed to be able to tilt the Wii remote to control your monster trucks and buggies a la Excite Truck, but vehicular reaction time is so sluggish that you'll sometimes wonder if you're even influencing the on-screen action." - Matt.
