China Town X: Yes, that's just one of the many exciting track names in this game.  So I went out and got the Wii's GOTY.



Homer's expressions are quite fitting. In this thread I'll chuck a review when I've put enough time into it, so far I've completed the game and unlocked everything within an hour! It even marks the return of a single still screen ending sequence! I love how you can crash through trees, forklifts, bridges, entire houses and more without losing speed, but clipping a CPU car will hurl you thousands of miles into the sky!

I thought this thread would have something to do with big trouble in little China.

This is infinitely more retarded.

Please tell me some one paid you to take it off them.

This is one of the most dirty things I have ever read on these forums.

If only we had some screenshots of Cina Town X it sounds like a really nice place to live...do you think there is any Lake Front Property available?

Ferny forgot to mention a few things that he talked about when we chatted this morning...

~ Game really looks like an N64 game...
~ Cars don't have any engine soundeffects at all...
~ He boosted into another car and they both went invisible...

It's pure quality!

Oh no, who renamed the thread? Now it's less fun! ='D

I've been having a ball with this game by the way, pretty much all because I'm still in a state of utter disbelief that Midway made this happen. Oh my GOD it's horrific. Secret: the screenshots used on the back of the box have IGN's watermark on them. ALL THIS AND MORE WHEN I CAN BE ARSED TO FINISH 'REVIEW'.

Where's GP? She'll defend this poor game!
Carmine Red, Associate Editor

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

This is one of those games that doesn't try to be anything BUT an arcade racer, and has a mindless stupid fun factor about it like the old Cruis'n games.

Didn't we already have a thread about how this game was terrible, and also Fast and the Furious (arcade) with a different name?
