Driving game for WII

[Moscow Mule]

Her indoors has bought a wii - and a steering wheel - what's the best race/rally game? (not interested in grand theft chav gansta 7 or similar)

Can't beat Mario Kart for multiplayer fun, but it's definitely not a "pure" driving game.

TBH, it's the only thing we regularly play on the wii.

Well, I did say I don't play any computer games

Is it any good?

It's a very fast paced multiplayer FPS, If you don't play games I'd give it a miss as you will get your arse kicked by 5 year olds.

Timesplitters is on it's 4th installment.

Has no one made a time travel game yet? It seems such an obvious concept, and there are plenty of games set in different time periods already anyway - from WWII to Assassin's Creed and dinosaur games and that. It would just be a matter of creating some kind of scenario which allowed the player to travel through time, and take vehicles and weapons with them.

I mean, I'd probably even play that myself, and I don't play any computer games at all at the moment.

I have Oblivion but after starting it 3 times over the last few years I never got hooked, some say it's the best game of all time but it just doesn't grab me.

I know what you mean, i dont really play games that much but have a weakness for stuff like Oblivion, Resident Evil and Fallout and once i buy one I need to finish it.

The bad thing about the Wii is that you also need a PS3 or 360 too as it isn't very capable.

I've got a Wii and a PS3 and just use the Wii for Wii Fit & Mario Kart, not seen anything else on it that caught my eye really and i think (real) driving is one of the things it doesn't do.

Currently playing Resi 5 on the PS3 which is a cracking game and just finished Fallout 3 which devoured many of my evenings and i can heartily recommend - neither of these would be possible on the Wii to the same quality.

I played about 40 hours of Fallout 3 but haven't had the time to play for a few weeks, I don't think I'll buy another RPG as I it just eats up too much time when I could be doing something more productive.

I'll stick to pick up 'n' play games from now on.

For pure multi player fun Mario Kart is an absolute must for the Wii.

I thought the same - and had visions of monster truck racing through Stalingrad.

I'd probably buy that!

I originally read that title as 'Driving game for WWII' and thought, cool, razzing an Evo through Caen.

Looks like: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Need-for-Spe...f=cm_lmf_tit_3 gets fairly good reviews.
