The courses vary from sand, ice, gravel and dirt and incorporates a bit of rally prowess to the driving. A player that has not learned how to powerslide a car is in trouble with this game, but the game makes it fairly easy to learn. Players will enjoy the detail in the courses and the car, and the car physics are reasonable, meaning that a sliding car will react the way you would expect it to with oil, snow and gravel all having different impacts of the car s performance. Players start in the beginner mode and have Quick Race, Championship, Time Trial, and Challenge modes available. A championship pits you initially against four other cars in three one-lap races, which are long enough to allow a player to make up for a mistake or two.
Victories there open up more championship events.
The challenges open up more cars to the player as you perform a series of feats. Completing those tasks in a certain amount of time unlocks new cars that can be used in the championships. The time trials give players bigger engines and upgrades to existing cars if they can reach a gold-medal time. All in all, Wild Wild Racing is a pleasant diversion and the tracks are diverse enough, with plenty of shortcuts to find, that the determined player will have to need to invest some time in the game to complete it. However, the time is spent not in performing well enough to beat the game, but merely playing long enough to discover where the hidden elements and shortcuts are in order to complete it.
