"Ford" Trucks that aren't worth your money

The trucks in Ford Racing: Off Road are built Ford Tough - I mean the AI in Ford Racing: Off Road is made Ford Tough for several reasons.
First, the AI doesn't have to deal with oversensitive controls that left me jerking left and right in an attempt to straighten out after a turn. A slight tilt sent my truck almost sideways.
Second, the AI gets better performing trucks than you do. What a rip off.
Third, the AI drives like a pro - and there's no difficulty settings, so unless you're a pro, you're going to get left in the dust in many races.
Fourth, the damage meter. Every hit you take increases the damage on the meter. It also worsens your truck's performance. But the AI doesn't have to worry about this; it can slam into you all it wants and it's not going to lose any top speed/handling/accelerati- on. They're Ram Tough (oops, that's Dodge. Sorry)
Fifth, the goals. On several tracks not only do you have to come in first, but there's also a secondary goal. Goals like taking little damage (AI makes that almost impossible) or finding idols (which is very hard to do) or going though checkpoints (while getting left in the AI's dust).
The graphics of Ford Racing: Off Road are average, but there are plenty of tracks - that are locked because the AI has too much of an advantage.
Ford Racing: Off Road is just another average to bad Wii racing game.
