Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | Get behind the driver's seat with this Speed Racer based on the Wachowski Brothers film with its garage of combat-ready rides and see how you fare in "car-fu style" action. Take on the role of the characters from the film, getting behind the wheels of each character's signature vehicles to experience firsthand the film's high adrenaline, combative racing style. The film itself is based on the classic series created by anime pioneer Tatsuo Yoshida. A live-action family adventure, Speed Racer follows the young racecar driver Speed in his quest for glory on and off the track in his thundering Mach 5. Choose between three different variations of the Mach 5, each one equipped with several gadgets that are unique to the car like grip tires, rotary saws, a periscope, a deflector, and auto jacks. All of the gadgets have a specific purpose. The rotary saws are used to cut down any trees that get in the way. By activating the auto jacks, the Mach 5 can jump over obstacles to discover shortcuts. Discovering the shortcuts is the key to getting the fastest times on all three tracks and mastering the Normal and Endurance modes. If you play the game well enough, you will be able to unlock new vehicles, including Racer X. Get behind the wheel and go, SPEED RACER, go! | | | |

 So do you feel like driving 350 mph? Look no further.... Jun 05, 2009
I was looking for a racing game on the Nintendo DS platform and this game is very exciting. Graphics are very good, and you get the effect of actually driving at super high speeds. I actually had the sensation like I was driving faster in this game than the F-Zero on Nintendo 64 and SNES. You drive through tunnels, jump ramps and do various stunts while racing. The sound effects are very good even though the music is not too exciting.
There are only up to 5 competitors which is a little disappointing since I like more 'traffic' on the road. The speed bursts are fun and the special effects add more of a thrill to gameplay.
Gameplay is entirely through the buttons and keypad. You don't use the touch screen for gameplay. Controls are simple to learn although there is a slight learning curve "Car-Fu". The physics are realistic (you can even 'drift'), despite the fact that you don't sustain damage to your vehicle. You have the option of competing on 3 levels of difficulty, and playing by a race or 'career' mode. As you advance, you unlock more drivers and courses. The artificial intelligence of your competition is quite challenging.
This is a very entertaining game and it satisfies my 'need for speed'.

GO SPEED RACER GO! Mar 07, 2009
Go Speed Racer Go! Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I'm a copier! I had ordered this game on AMAZON and got it for 20 bucks, and I'm glad it was only 20! It is well worth the money, if it was 28 or more I would've questioned the AMAZON Sellers, but they did a great job grouping the price together and it paid off. OK, enough of that junk! Now onto the game. As another reviewere mentioned The music and the menu aren't spectacular but aren't to annoying or hard to hear\listen to. The graphics are unbeleivable and give great credit to the makers of SPEED RACER THE VIDEOGAME. If only they spent a couple more days on making it, it would've been perfect. You can play multiplayer(I don't do that, and as the same reviewer said you have to have multiple catrs, and the back of the game case says that it can be played from 1-6 players), arcade(Single race, Battle(Trying to complete certain tricks and events in a limited time), and a few others.) Also you can play WRL(WORLD RACING LEAGUE) in which you play at 3 different tracks, and by doing tricks, jumps, and stunts, you can gain more fans(With how many jumps, tricks, and stunts you do you gain more and more fans, and the more and more fans you get, you get to unlock different racers, tracks, events, and paint jobs) with it(You can't get fans to unlock things when you play single player quick race)and also you can read tutorials if you are lost(or look at the instruction booklet) and it will tell you how do do things. Here are the pros and cons:
Cons: Tracks look simlair(as another had said) and the music\menu aren't wow-outta-your-seats-like but they aren't horrid.
Pros: Great Graphics
Lots of racers and at least 3 paint jobs for each racer
Lots of fun tricks, and stunts as well as jumps( in which you do flips,etc while in the air) and are really addictive.
Also you can do CAR-FU In which you when you are close enogh behind you will press the B button(which is also displayed when you are close wnough to your opponent and you will see a white circle with a B in it telling what button to press) and you play a so called "MiniGame" in which if you press X or Y depending on the top screen what it says and if you get better than your opponent or get into the middle or very vclose to it you will hit the X or Y button and if you are successful you will send your opponent flying an you will gain a fan in WRL mode or in single player you just move ahead of your opponent and gain a position(no matter what mode you're in). If you aren't successful you will be in the dust and will be a deads ducky.
Conclusion: Great game for all ages

great game! Dec 30, 2008
My 7 year old son got this for Christmas along with a few other DS games. This was by far his favorite. He's played it constantly since receiving it!

Speed Racer good for kids... Nov 24, 2008
This is one video game that is child friendly or for those tech game challenged. My 5 yr old loves it. No matter what he does he doesnt die, the game just keeps him playing.
