IGN Ratings for SPOGS Racing (Wii)
Rating Description
out of 10 click here for ratings guide
2.0 Presentation
So, it's kinda, but not officially, based on Pogs? Why? What the heck does that have to do with a boring racer?
1.0 Graphics
You're kidding, right? SEGA's Virtua Racing looked better than this back in 1992. SPOGS wins the title of "Ugliest Wii Game." Congratulations.
3.0 Sound
Terrible, over-compressed guitar cheese. Item sound effects are dinky.
2.0 Gameplay
The Crash N' Grab system is interesting, but it's underutilized. Everything else here is either mind-numbingly dull (racing) or infuriating (rubber-banding AI).
2.0 Lasting Appeal
A limited two-player mode can't save this abomination. Remember this: any amount of time you spend with SPOGS Racing is time you will never get back.
1.9
Abysmal

OVERALL

Wow! This is terrible....
A disgrace to WiiWare.



quarashi on 08 July 2008

What no way, I was so going to get this...
Doesn't Nintendo have some sort of hand in what gets put on wiiware?



Hi, this is Vince with Shamwow.

I find it odd that the person who reviewed this game finds racing boring. Seems like the wrong guy to review a racer.

This game totally probably deserves at least a 3.

Poor Pogs.  They're time came too soon.

Thanks for the sympathy Rol.  My broken heart may mend over time.

It doesn't look like superchunk picked this game up, unless you are implying that he is stupid.

 

well, not up to me to call him anything.

 

Although he did say stuff such as

"Looks fun. I just might pick this Wii Ware title up."

"but this does look like it could be a good cheap game"

 

 

I'm not saying whenever a game is announced, people who always say stuff like "omg, first day purchase" will actually go buy it, heck, i counted more than 5 people who were supposed to go and get "battle of the Band" first day and I doubt any of them actually did. Fanboys, what can you do, right?

I know what you mean. They get a kick out of posting bad reviews for games which pretty much nobody in this world was caring for in the first place.

 

psst, not "nobody", Hawk bought it. ;)

I like Bacon on 08 July 2008

Wow. I saw a video of it on the Nintendo Channel and it did look terrible. Nintendo needs to start releasing 2 VC and 2 WW games a week in NA. :-/

Is the King of sarcasm unable to see it when others use it?  Or are we dealing with double sarcasm now?!  Too much for my brain, argh!
