Top 3 Wii Racing Games

Racing games on the Wii are few and far between, proper ones even more so. Shortly after the Wii’s launch, many developers jumped onto the bandwagon, but rather inconveniently forgot to bring forward some actually appealing games. Issues such as difficulty utilizing motion control, and other issues, held back most racers from fully embracing the Wii as a platform for good racing game enjoyment.
If you own a Wii and want some good racing games, do not despair. Here displayed in order from least to greatest are three racing games for Wii that are well worth your time and money. Though there are others worth consideration, these are widely considered to be the best the console currently has to offer.
First up is Excite Truck. Excite Truck is, in fact, a Wii launch title. It does not offer either local or online racing. But what it does offer is a sheer sense of speed, the likes of which few other racing games have seen.
The game, as with most other Wii racing titles, is played with the Wii remote. The remote is held in a horizontal position in front of the player and tilted from side to side to steer. Pressing the D-pad engages your boost, which can be activated at any time but will overheat and slow down your engine if overused.
The visuals are breathtaking, even if the gameplay itself is somewhat shallow. Overall, it’s a game that at least deserves a rent.
Next is Need For Speed Carbon.
Need For Speed Carbon is a street-racing game, and all that that implies. Car shop and customization options, street car races, and police car chases make this game. Being able to customize your car’s paint job, engine, etc. alone make this a very replayable game, and the races themselves are everything we’ve come to expect from the Need For Speed series.
Lastly, Mario Kart Wii is currently the very best racing game for Wii.
The first aspect that sets Mario Cart above the rest is the game features a total of four different control schemes. The first is the aforementioned Wii remote. The game comes with a “Wii Wheelâ€, for inserting the remote inside for easier handling. The second is the Wii “remote & nunchuk†scheme, where the game is controlled as you would normally play a game after inserting the nunchuk into the remote. Also, the game is compatible with both Gamecube and Classic Controllers.
Secondly, Mario Kart Wii features online multiplayer support; some of the best and most convenient Nintendo has ever achieved.
Mario Kart Wii is also the first Mario Kart game to introduce motorcycle racing, a fresh spin on the classic kart-racing gameplay.
Some may say that the current best racers are on the Xbox 360 and PS3, but I wouldn’t count out the Wii yet.
