Third party developers and the Wii have an iffy relationship right now. Some of them really mean well, and others want to get away with the bare minimum (i.e. lazy bastards). With M&M’s Kart Racing you get the latter kind AND hilarious results from it. But you need to turn up your speakers to understand what I mean. Props to you, Destination Software. Your game is now ranked #1 in the Google search results for APPROACHING SOUND BARRIER (linky)
This game is meant for little tykes, and it may provide a small snack before the main course that is Mario Kart for the Wii, but its in-game announcer voice is immortal. Who knew breaking the sound barrier would require little effort in this game? I had a hard time doing this in the original X-treme G. A fellow member in a message board stated that the “sound barrier” quip might have been taken from the gyrocopter pilots in Warcraft III. Interesting assumption.
Wait till it hits the bargin bin, it will be the most sought after so-bad-it’s-funny game since Big Rigs. Maybe this is why the developers are so uppity about the posted Youtube videos of their game (most were taken down).
