ZTGD review: Speed Racer

Stop, Speed Racer! Stop!

There is a commonly known fact that games based on movies are usually not very good. Speed Racer is no exception. You can almost feel the hands of Warner Bros. reaching into your pocket to grab what cash is left after a trip to the movies. Die hard fans of the series may be able to really enjoy this game, but everyone else may have a harder time.

To steer you hold and use the remote like a wheel, similar to Mario Kart style. The problem is that the controls are either too tight or too loose, whichever happens to be the most inconvenient at a given moment. For example, when you're stuck on the wall, supposedly a simple maneuver will correct and put you back on the track. Oddly enough, neither cranking the remote nor gently tweaking it seems to help. Good luck getting back in the race.
