Yo, I'm just planning my next slew of Wii purchases. I'll be getting Galaxy this time as well as a few other games. What I find I really need is a racer. I have Mario Kart which I love but I find I've been craving a more 'realistic' title. Not necessarily GT which I don't really like but more like the old Ridge Racer titles Type 4 or something. I'm thinking of Excite Truck but I want to know if there are any others out now or in the near future. (Oh Waverace)Thanks Guys.

Excite Truck is a great game, but make sure you have an SD card so you can change its music.
Also, its a great game, but it lacks any sort of content.
Maybe a rent first...?

If you dont mind cube games then F-Zero GX is a great option, I really hate realistic racers but a game like this is fantastic, I love finishing the race and having about half of the racers finish as you rammed the others, Plus it doesnt seem to have catch-up which is a feature that ruins many a racing game.

The only decent racers on the Wii so far are Mario Kart and Excite Truck. I'm hoping for more soon. Maybe Ferrari Challenge will be ok, though the lack of reviews is making me suspicious.

Actually, I already have FZero GX and WaveRace BlueStorm, 1080 all that. I don't want any super realistic nonsense. I think they're boring. Just something fast that is not Need for Speed. Maybe I'm asking for too much. I actually wish there was a really good F1 game for the Wii in the vein of the 64 one. Now that is one of the racing games I played most. Or then again an Episode 1 Racer would be great. Here is to hoping

Just wait for F-Zero Wii...

...it'll happen...I KNOW IT! ;_;

Really Rol? That's great then. More to look forward to. I think I'm getting to the point where I accept that its in 2009 that I'll be making the most purchases for my Wii. I'll get Galaxy and possibly Excite Truck with 2 more sets of controllers this year and enjoy my current titles fully.

On IGN they said that Speed Racer was not that bad:

"I'm always weary of movies turn videogames as the publishers and developers involved seldom do the original property justice. But here we have Speed Racer for Wii and believe it or not, it's a surprisingly adept and entertaining racing game. "
