1 out of 5 stars It looks good but I can't reverse the car!   January 3, 2009
The graphic looks good compared to other Wii games. However, bad controlling scheme makes it un-playable. I can't reverse the car. The manual says "Press Z-button and tilt the Nunchuck to make the car turn 360 degrees" but it does not work at all. When the car I drove hit the wall and got stuck, I tried every movements with both the Wii controller and the Nunchuck but it was still stuck. I searched the Web for tips but none worked.

After 2 days, I traded it in. It's very frustrating. I'm now conviced Wii controller DOES NOT WORK with ACTION games. I rented two other action games, Transformer and Dragon Quest Swords. They don't respond properly to Wii controller either.



3 out of 5 stars not a bad game   December 12, 2008
its not a bad game, the controls are a little weird, hard to get used to, most of the missions are fun, its just one of tjhose games you are kinda neutral on


4 out of 5 stars Excellent GTA knock-off   September 18, 2008
I enjoyed this game quite a lot.

Gameplay: It used the Wii motion controls in a reasonable, natural way that didn't feel forced into the gameplay. The story arc was semi-open, a la GTA, and held my interest throughout.

Graphics: Excellent for the Wii. The cutscenes are especially good, in my opinion. The atmosphere of the game was also excellent in its early '70s vibe. Gameplay graphics were very good--the Wii is notorious for having really dumbed down graphics. In fact, this game is one of the better graphics I've encountered on the Wii.

Overall: A solid 4-stars. Not a 5-star due to it being an extension of a genre not a breakthrough title.



5 out of 5 stars game is awsome! never gets boring!   July 13, 2008

this game is just like any other grand theft auto for other systems. the controlls are twichy for some cars and loose for others. real fun to get used to. and the best part is it never gets boring! you can go from crusing on a chopper to 110-120 miles an hour racing anytime. even jump roofs with a dirt-bike. if you want a game that will last you a while than this is for you i am still playing it after almost 2 years!!!
