A car racing game you'll hate to finish!

 

 

Nothing beats the competitive feel of racing. Feel the thrill as you race past your opponent, slam their car into a water trap, and beat them by a bumper to the finish line. You won't want to finish because Wacky Wheels is too exciting: avoiding the obstacles, knocking against opponents, launching your weapons against them, beating them to the short cuts, engaging turbo mode on the straightaway, using your hand brake to skillfully hug tight corners without spinning out, and hitting jumps with perfect timing so that you sail above and past your opponents while executing a perfect 360 rotation in midair!

There are three classes of tracks to race on, from novice to expert, which present a wide range of wacky racing conditions. All tracks have special obstacles and dangers: water traps, cacti, oil slicks, posts, stacks of tires, and more. Some tracks are surrounded by water and even lava.

But what you're not expecting is the hedgehogs! Grab all the track-populated hedgehogs you can and hurl them like baseballs at the other racers to send them spinning out of control - giving you time to pass 'em by. Other weapons to collect include bombs, oil slicks, ice blocks, and flame balls.

From start to finish you get edge-of-your-seat excitement and action. When playing, you'll grit your teeth, lean your body into the corners and scream "EAT MAGMA!" as you launch a hedgehog that sends the racer in front of you spinning into the lava!

Memories are sometimes enough

Wacky wheels is definitely a Good Old Game. Sometimes, old stuffs are still totally relevant (Theme Hospital, Transport Tycoon), sometimes they aren't. I fear that Wacky Wheels is part of the second category. Even if the game is pleasant to play, it is very repetitive, quite basic in its mechanism, the amount of tracks available is quite low, too easy to play against IA, and split screen on one keyboard isn't fun anymore. If it's for the nostalgia, why not. But I prefer to keep the good memories of the countless hours I spent on this one than getting bored after 30 minutes 20 years later.

Let's have some fun

It is here, at last! Thanks for this major hit from Apogée. So repetitive, so basic in its gameplay and yet, so addictive and so funny! In the late 90s, I had many awesome racing games (NFS, Screamer...) but I regularly played Wacky Wheels. Although I had the shareware version, I spent so much time playing this game. Also condiser it if you want to introduce your children to videogames, split-screen is awesome.

Great innocent family fun!

Cuddly animals driving cars in a race, throwing hedgehogs at each other! Forget the acid rains of post-apocalyptic zombie-infested wastelands, and drive a few tracks as a panda. Funny sounds, nice graphics (for its age), and a split-screen multiplayer mode. I played it with my dad many years ago.

Daddy, what is Mario Kart?

Son, Mario Kart is what the poor children of filthy console peasants played while the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race were chucking hedgehogs at each other in WACKY WHEELS!! This is one of the best games ever, and what's really fun about it is the hand brake turn, which made the driving in Wacky Wheels feel very unique compared to any other kart racer I've played. Get it. Get it now.

again after 14 years

I remember playing this game back when I was in kindergarten and I had a lot of fun with this game. And it still is. It is a simple game, especially comparing it to Mario Kart but its good at what it does. It's working and it's fun to play.
