Description
Appaloosa Interactive kart racing, adapting the Hanna-Barbera animated Wacky Races series with its quirky drivers. Created by Appaloosa Interactive and Infogrames, released in 2000 in Europe and 2001 in Japan under the Wacky Races title. Over twelve Hanna-Barbera drivers including Dick Dastardly, Penelope Pitstop and Peter Perfect, over eight 3D circuits inspired by the animated series, over fifteen quirky weapons, tournament single or two-player versus mode and cartoon soundtrack. European and Japanese edition under the Wacky Races title.
A racing game drawn from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, Wacky Races puts you behind the wheel of the zany Wacky Races vehicles on colourful tracks packed with traps and goofy weapons, in the party fun spirit of Mario Kart. The fidelity to the licence, the cartoon humour and the joy of multiplayer chaos make the title's charm. The imprecise driving and an average 3D production place it far from the genre's references. A likeable kart racer for fans of the cartoon and of laid-back arcade racing.
