We wish we could say that diehard Midway racing fans will get enjoyment out of this one, but we're that exact crowd, and we'd go back to "Rush 2042" long before booting this up again.

Games this low-rent and unapologetically busted only come around a few times a year, but don't bother savoring this rare experience - Cruis'n is undoubtedly the worst Wii racer to date, and another blight on a franchise that has long suffered in home conversions.

Unless you fancy the idea of paying $30 for a hacked-together port of an old arcade game that wasn't any good to begin with, you can safely ignore Cruis'n.

Sold arcade racer. Yes it's unrealistic. Yes it's short. That's because it was originally designed to be played sitting in an arcade with a steering wheel in your hands. Arcade games are more like interactive amusement park rides than AAA video games. Anybody expecting anything other than that doesn't understand arcade games at all. This game brings that arcade experience home with a solid conversion of the first Fast and the Furious arcade game, which was developed by the creator of the Cruis'n series and was always just a Cruis'n game with the F&F license slapped on. The motion controls are a little loose, but the game can be played with the d-pad just fine.

It takes approximately eight hours of play to unlock all of the cars and areas. This includes completely customizing a single car. Customizing every car to their maximum will be a chore, but once it is done players can have some extreme races. It can be done in either circuit or arcade modes. The two-player mode adds a bit of fun, too bad there is no Internet play.

Sadly it's so bad! It's almost unplayable! No match with the old classics in the N64

Here we have a lackluster game, made without respect for the reputation of the series, just aiming to deceive players desperately in need for speed.

The game is a holy cookie with Midway's **** hot cream. Is really beautiful and enjoyable, it reminds our afternoons playing with 4 in our N64, every game that is rescued from that times is a masterpiece. I don't care all the issues it can have. I'll pay a fortune for it.

This is a game so bad it is good. Very few games can hit this sweet spot. Usually a bad game is just that: BAD. This game is bad in a hilarious way but still extremely playable. One of Midway's last games before bankruptcy. You pick a car and race through 12 tracks gaining one upgrade to add to your car after finishing each race. That's about it. But from the campy music to the 2D sprite chicks and random black guy that cheer you on to the glitchy graphics...everything comes together into a very enjoyable package. Motion controls honestly felt fine, there is a decent challenge without feeling frustrating, and the track design is actually pretty decent. I had just as much fun with this game as the Cruis'n Trilogy on the N64. It's one of my favorite pick up and play retro wii games. Yes, it is a bad game, but if you enjoy wacky nonsense you will enjoy this game.

The longevity in single player is pitiful and only slightly better in multiplayer, but not by much, while the gameplay feels like a severely downgraded version of Burnout and the presentation is simply atrocious.

The worst Wii game I've had the misfortune to play and a huge disappointment for Wii owners desperate for more arcade racing action.

It's the worst-looking Wii game I've ever played and frankly that takes some effort. It's no fun to play either.

Sem dúvidas o jogo possui alguns problemas como: carregamentos demorados e bugs nas quedas após as colisões, mas essa franquia nunca teve a intenção de ser realista. A jogabilidade é simples e a sensação de velocidade é grande. E principalmente, o jogo é muito divertido, além de contar com uma boa trilha sonora. Se você é um jogador casual que busca um jogo de corrida simples e divertido, dê uma chance a ele! Não se deixe levar pelas baixas notas! Mas se você é um jogador hardcore e realmente exigente, melhor procurar outro.

This is without doubt the worst racing sim on the wii, and ive played quite a few. Its a great example of one of those games put together with no care, no inspiration and lacks any sort of creativity. The controls are terrible, they are far too sensitive and make poor use of the wii's motion sense capabilities and the only other option is to use the d pad... that's right they could not even offer an option to use the nun-chucks joystick, the graphics are clunky and low res, they make my eyes bleed and on top of that an extremely annoying lady does voice over. AVOID!
