    With more tracks, more bonus features and more strategic racing challenges, Excitebike: World Rally is a racing game that will keep you challenged with its ever-increasing difficulty and entertained with its track editor and online play.

    Excitebike: World Rally is a genuine ode to the classic of the 1980s. The game mantains the gameplay that captivated fans of the original Excitebike and adds a better tracks editor, online multiplayer and beautiful graphics to the formula.

    World Rally is an almost perfect tribute to the original Excitebike, but maybe it's just too old for the modern player. Its quick action and the online multiplayer fits well in the WiiWare context, but it's better enjoyed in short sessions.

    Ultimately, World Rally is not a bad game, just entirely unnecessary.

    "Anyone who thinks this game isn't an improvement over the original needs to go back and play it after playing this game to see just how much better this is."

    Had to quote this previous reviewer because this is right on - I went back and played the original after playing Excitebike: World Rally for several hours straight, and WOW: this one ruined the original for me, which I never thought would happen. That's how much better this version is, and how much I love it.

    My *only* complaint is that they removed the ability to deliberately wreck yourself by leaning too far backwards. Yep, that's all I've got. Buy this game, it's uber retro goodness whether you played the original Excitebike or not    … Expand

    Anyone who thinks this game isn't an improvement over the original needs to go back and play it after playing this game to see just how much better this is. The bike get ways more air, you get more way more courses and the ability to save multiple user tracks, and the online play is enormous fun with all the collisions that happen with people trying to take each other out to cool down their bikes. Only complaint is no local multiplayer (perhaps they should have put this on DSiware instead).… Expand

    Nice re-creates the appeal of the original arcade title and expands the universe. Controls translate well to the Wii controller (suprisingly)...! If you loved this as a kid, it's well worth the $10 that it costs.… Expand

    Una reversión muy interesante de uno de los grandes clásicos del NES, y el aditivo de las características para juego on-line lo hacen una opción muy interesante para los jugadores mas experimentados.… Expand
