Mini... the amount of control this game has.

I saw the reviews, but rented anyway. I figured it would be good enough for my 5 year old since he doesn't seem to have problems with other driving games. I was mistaken. The controls for this game are beyond horrible and can't figure out how this garbage even made it past any quality control. Besides not being able to turn left, you can't even configure the wiimote to just use the pad instead of the motion sensor. Please do yourself a favor and "STEER" clear of this one.

Broken controls, terrible graphics, useless unlockables, this game sucks. Like everything else from Data Design Interactive.

"This game puts the fun back into the mini"? NO!

This game is perhaps the worst game I ever bought. I got it with another game at BJs with no knowledge of its horrible game play. The game SUPPOSEDLY uses the Wii Remote in the driving position, but you have to point the Wii Remote at the screen. Sounds like the correct driving position? No? Good. There is even a horrible five-page instruction booklet, which just shows how cheaply this stupid game was made! I believe that this kind of game was given the "The Official Nintendo Seal of Approval" through BRIBERY. And despite ANYTHING related to fun that might be on the case, DO NOT GET THIS GAME AT ALL. It will make you angry and you'll lose precious money for nothing.

Quite simply the stupidest racing game I have ever played. Not worth the rent or buy. Save your time for something better. Anything would be better than this!

Mini Desktop Racing is Worthless

posted by inexdave (OKLAHOMA CITY, OK) Feb 12, 2010

This game is an insult to gamers.

First, the controls involve twisting the remote rather than using like the steering wheel controller.

Second, the graphics make me long for the commodore64 days.

DO NOT RENT!

The title should be "Out of Control"

This is a really bad game and I should have read the other reviews before I ordered it. Everyone is right, its hard to control almost like trying to beat your best time on Mario Kart using your feet or drunk. Not really, its just annoying. I mailed it back after 3 minutes of play.

Suckish Game

You only start with 2 cars, and the steering is all wrong for the Wii. i couldn't use my Turbo Wheel or my Ferrari Challenge wheel, because the steering is Twist (in other words you have to point it straight and twist your wrist.) not Turn. Bottom line: This game sucks, don't rent it, don't buy it!

Trying to play this two player makes it impossible to see where you are going. And the controls are so weird and sensitive it is very difficult to oontrol. We barely tried to play before giving up and returning it.

Good Concept, Poor Execution

posted by ThePirate (LAKEWOOD, CO) Jan 31, 2008

The concept of tabletop racing is awesome, the level I was able to play was well done, but the steering made gameplay all but impossible.

I never finished a race because the steering for the cars is so touchy that you can't help but go completely left or right, no subtle turns.

Graphics were ok; I don't recall the music; but controls were terrible.

I repeat : DO NOT TOUCH THIS GAME.

I've played many many games for the wii and this is by far the worst.

Controls are horrible

My 8 year old ran this out to the mailbox as quick as she could !

Worst Game Ever - even for a Mini owner

I felt compelled to try the game for myself as I recently bought a Mini Cooper, sadly, I will never be able to get those minutes I wasted playing this game back.

The car is completely uncontrollable, the graphics are horrible, this really may be the worst game ever sold.
