Fun:
For those of you that don't know (or at least don't have the Boomerang channel), Wacky Races is a classic Hanna-Barbera series where a bunch of original characters race to the finish in their souped-up vehicles and win the prize in all sorts of amazing locations. It's also the series where the fiendish Dick Dastardly and the fair Penelope Pitstop got their first big break before they each got their own show.
"Crash and Dash" has seemed to capture the amazing feel of this series by putting you in the driver's seat of the Wacky Racers like Peter Perfect, the Slag Brothers, Professor Pat Pending, and the Ant Hill Mob. Even the race courses are also freely based on the show, too ! (i.e. "Oil's Well That Ends Well", "Why Oh Why Wyoming", and "Beat the Clock to Yellow Rock")
In this game, you'll crash, dash, and soar past the competition with special Wacky Widgets that will give you amazing Wacky Powers to use to your advantage. There are three different Wacky Powers for each racer plus a special Way-Out Wacky Power that will be even more useful in the race if you know how to work the Wii remote. Besides the Widgets scattered all over each track, keep an eye out for special pickups of character bios and their vehicles usually when you wreck an opponents car. Also, be sure you'll be able to earn a few Mad Dash Cogs during the race. You'll need 'em for the final stretch of the race.
Oops, I almost forgot. Look out for the sinister Dick Dastardly and his sniveling cur Muttley driving past you in their Mean Machine. They'll attempt to sabotage your position in first with a trap or two. Be prepared for those traps because you're gonna need skill to get past them.
All in all, this is one racing game that is real easy to enjoy whether you're a fan of the original cartoon or not. Trust me, it's a real blast - until you get blasted yourself.

Fun:
The Idea of this game is cool. I bought this game hoping to be able to drive the cars from behind the wheel, you have to steer the car fom different camera angles out of your control from a tird person view.
The view of the course is limited and often confusing with so many cars in a small screen shot. The controls are difficult at best. try to steer your car while using a "special" to wreck your apponent, you will crash yourself. The "Traps" set by dd are the same 4 no matter how far you advance.
rent it, don't buy it.

First time I played it was awful.
But I gave it another try and it was fun.
With the wii you make the car go faster as fast as you shake your controller.
So you get a workout.

Wow, this game is bad. My husband and I tried it and lasted about two races. Instead of a 1st-person racer like the awesome Mario Kart, this is a third person racer. Read more
