    3D Pixel Racing averages out to be somewhere around the Okay range. Drop five bucks on it in the Wii Shop if you're looking for a fresh racing fix with a unique new look, but just don't expect it to dethrone the best racers already in your Wii library.

    So despite all the options - Championship mode, Capture The Flag, four player split screen and a Hot Pursuit mode - the wild handling is a little too much to cope with.

    This is a really fun racer. Yes it takes time to get used to the rather loose tilt controls, but once you master it you will enjoy this racer just as much as say Mario Kart. Yes, it's that good if you are willing to invest the time. You should start on easy to get the hang of things and soon you will enjoy driving around these retro courses, and drifting around sharp corners wiil become second nature and is tremendous fun and intuitive and one of the key elements in the game and bouncing into other cars is another fun aspect in the game, forcing you sooner or later to go to the pit, putting a little strategy into the game. This is a fantastic game and the bad reviews on the left must be made of people who sadly didn't have the patience and time to get into the swing of thing. They are going to miss out on a really great and fun racing game.… Expand

    3D Pixel Racing is a racing retro game, a drive simulator with the face of a funny kart game. The tilting of wiimote is perfect and reply to user instantaneously. You can select between Cars of famous vintage games (Outrun, Sega Rally, Chase HQ, Pole Position, etc)and any car has own characteristics: the Arrow(celica,sega rally) and Shadow(delta, sega rally) are 4x4 cars Outrun's Ferrari, Turbo Outrun's F40, Lambo(Crazy cars?), Vette(Test Drive XXX???) are sport cars, rear drive. Daytona Hornet and F1 Pole Position are racing cars "ever straight". Chaser and Chaser S (From Chase HQ and S.C.I) are turbo sport cars. You can play this game like you want: Like Sega Rally, Like Outrun, Like Daytona.... !!! The Multiplayer mode is simply funny and amazing. The best thing is the drifting technique and the tilting of Wiimote. (someone don't like it, but if you are GT racers, you will love it!!) Very nice weather cycles (The world become white when it's snowing!) Hot pursuit can be played in cooperative: 1 on 1, 2 on 2, 3 on 3, 4 on 4!!!!! (4 cops, 4 thieves!!!) mixing human/AI players. Very interesting original game modes (specially in multiplayer (I SUGGEST 4)) Time trial and Take the flag. In championship and single race, the Pit Stops are very technical, and you must save your tyres and fuel. Totally a game very complete, a gem!… Expand

    This was a hard game to rate. While the amount of content you get for 500 wii points is to be appluaded, the game itself is a mess. The handling is poor, the pixels make the car slow and choppy and it is next to impossible to catch up. Playing in multi-player is a little better, due to you both having the same problems. This is a missed opportunity. I was expecting so much more.… Expand
