Wacky Races is a cross between South Park Rally and Mario 64, starring classic Hanna Barbara cartoon characters. While this kart racing game doesn't really bring anything new to the racing genre, it does bring hours of lighthearted fun.
All the members of the motley crew from the cartoons are here, including Penelope Pitstop, Dick Dastardly, Muttley--even the Slag Brothers. They've all come with their trademark vehicles, from the Slag Brothers' rock-solid, relentless Boulder Mobile to Peter Perfect's turbo-charged, streamlined Turbo Terrific. To add the fighting element that is always present, the cars come with their own individual features to help you get around the numerous courses.
A title that is ideal for keeping younger kids busy while at the same time not appearing total alien to the rest of us, this game boils down to a kid-friendly version of South Park Rally. The colourful cartoon graphics give the feeling that you're in the cartoon itself. --Mike Fehlauer
