Review: Speed Racer (Play.tm)

Via Play.tm: "Unlike the vast majority of videogame adaptations designed to further boost Hollywood's already bulging coffers, Speed Racer doesn't overreach by trying to justify its existence with masses of unnecessary gameplay fluff, convoluted storylines and flashy worthless extras. Instead it keeps its focus solely on fun-filled Car-Fu racing, not needing to swamp the gameplay with star likenesses and vocal performances in an effort to paper over any developmental shortcomings. Moreover, Sidhe's decision to keep Speed Racer resolutely simple and not overload it with padding means that, as an overall gaming experience, it remains faithful to the younger audience the film is clearly targeting and yet still provides something for the slightly older player thanks to well-implemented controls and breathtaking speed. Don't say it too loud, but Speed Racer: The Videogame... is actually pretty good."
