Based directly on the 2008 Wachowski brothers' film, Speed Racer for Wii is a stunt-filled racing game that allows players to take the roles of Speed, Trixie, Racer X, and other characters, voiced by the actors who portray them on the big screen. The game aims to play off the exaggerated action of the film as well, with loopy, convoluted tracks and virtual speeds of over 400 miles per hour. "Car-fu" combat plays a central role, and winners will have to spin, flip, and smash their way ahead of their competition. Control options allow players to steer by tilting the Wii Remote, and the game is compatible with the snap-on Wii Wheel accessory.
