    Here we have a lackluster game, made without respect for the reputation of the series, just aiming to deceive players desperately in need for speed.

    We wish we could say that diehard Midway racing fans will get enjoyment out of this one, but we're that exact crowd, and we'd go back to "Rush 2042" long before booting this up again.

    Unless you fancy the idea of paying $30 for a hacked-together port of an old arcade game that wasn't any good to begin with, you can safely ignore Cruis'n.

    The longevity in single player is pitiful and only slightly better in multiplayer, but not by much, while the gameplay feels like a severely downgraded version of Burnout and the presentation is simply atrocious.

    Games this low-rent and unapologetically busted only come around a few times a year, but don't bother savoring this rare experience - Cruis'n is undoubtedly the worst Wii racer to date, and another blight on a franchise that has long suffered in home conversions.

    The worst Wii game I've had the misfortune to play and a huge disappointment for Wii owners desperate for more arcade racing action.

    It's the worst-looking Wii game I've ever played and frankly that takes some effort. It's no fun to play either.

Very few games can hit this sweet spot. Usually a bad game is just that: BAD. This game is bad in a hilarious way but still extremely playable. One of Midway's last games before bankruptcy. You pick a car and race through 12 tracks gaining one upgrade to add to your car after finishing each race. That's about it. But from the campy music to the 2D sprite chicks and random black guy that cheer you on to the glitchy graphics...everything comes together into a very enjoyable package. Motion controls honestly felt fine, there is a decent challenge without feeling frustrating, and the track design is actually pretty decent. I had just as much fun with this game as the Cruis'n Trilogy on the N64. It's one of my favorite pick up and play retro wii games. Yes, it is a bad game, but if you enjoy wacky nonsense you will enjoy this game.… Expand

It has a some awesome gameplay that you get to do stunts and such. It really have some excellent controls and maybe the best of any racing game. Also it has some great music and some good sounds but some of them can get annoying at times. I don't really mind of lack of extra features because I'm an arcade fan people who played this maybe never been to a arcade before. I don't like the loading times and some of the glitches also don't forget about the dropping framerate because it drops sometimes. But overall this is a really fun game that anyone will enjoy even for arcade fans. It also have a two player mode that hypes up the fun. It may have bad graphics and loading times but sometimes I'm a bit on the retro side and that is the reason I bought this game so if you play the arcade verison then you should love the home version of the game.… Expand

    I wouldn't say it's the worst Wii racing game. There's Rig Racer 2 to deal with, after all...

The load time is rediculously slow - especially for the terrible quality of graphics that is rivaled by any game from 1992. Also, don't plan on using this game to end hours of bordom; it only took me about 3 hours to beat. Instead of paying $60 for this game consider picking up an N64 with Cruis'n Around the World. I'm actually annoyed that I bought this game.… Expand
