Does justice to racing legends and the Wii,
The missions are very addictive. High intensity racing made even more fun with using the Wii remote as the steering wheel, controls very responsive, and the AI is VERY good, I was cursing out the Clown Prince within 40 minutes of picking it up.
Graphics a bit challenging, but overcome by gameplay. The old cars are GREAT, and the crashes can be downright FRIGHTENING AND EERIE, flaming infernos and all just like you saw in those old Indy race films (where some drivers died). The drafting and slingshotting is intense.
The Pit Challenges are nothing more than a point and turn exercises, but at least its something different in a racing game.
A very different game packaged with a racing history lesson. Does justice to the Cathedral of Speed, any Wii owner who is a race fan MUST have this game in their collection just for the history alone, the excellent gameplay is just icing on the cake.
GET IT. This is a very good Wii game.

|This was almost the best racing game I’d ever played, but …,
I really enjoyed playing this game. The track looks great … the cars are realistic and fun … the AI is great to play against. Then I played it in multiplayer mode.
When you get to play this in two-player mode, the graphics start to drag … big time. My friend and I felt like we were out to a Sunday afternoon drive. I wish the developers would have put more time into making sure that this game plays well at all levels. Buy this game, but don’t get it for multiplayer racing. That part sucks.
