Get Your Wii

Wii has a lot of interesting fun games in their inventory, including racing. By far the best racing game for all the home video consoles is Excite Truck. If you like racing sims that's fine, but my preference is an arcade racer.

The Playstation 3 game Burnout Paradise is one of my favorite arcade type racer which is what Excite Truck is on the Wii. The developers at Wii brought a good sense of speed from the less powerful game console. The levels bring different challenges, and then the most fun is playing with a friend in split screen mode, and that's the classic arcade mode.

The remote is used like a steering wheel, you turn it sideways and go back and forth. This puts the motion controls into play, these are crucial to the game, they're not just fluff.

If not for the great motion controls this game might not be as good as it is. It helps make the game extreme fun as these controls are better than releases after this. The control scheme helps keep the game moving, if they weren't as good it might become boring as you'd run through the tracks too fast.

Playing with a friend brings out the best of this game. You work on learning the motion controls so you can earn stars and open new tracks. Driving dangerously rewards you by unlocking more areas, so this game is very fun as there are lots of options.
