A classic dreamcast game, bringing me back to my youth. Revisiting it was lots of fun, good graphics and control, unique handling for each character... The only bad part is the AI. At first the game is pretty easy, not hard to come in first at all. As you progress and get more stars, the AI gets a little more intelligent. Then s*** hits the fan. Around the 00 Dick Dastardly challenge, the all the AI gets incredibly smart, not to mention THEIR cars (not yours) get noticeably faster. Around this time it becomes near impossible to progress. After a week of non-stop racing the mean machine, i had to give up. I used the cheats to unlock all characters, thus unlocking prof. Patent Pending, the Red Mac, and 00. I later had to use the unlock all ability cheat because I had no luck beating Dick as the Red Mac... Oh well... Still a great fun game to play with friends/family. Difficulty wise, the children that this game was aimed towards wouldn't stand a chance.Read full review

Infogrames took a niche but beloved franchise from Hanna-Barbera and tried to introduce it to a younger crowd in the first system that could do the visuals justice. Unfortunately they did not capitalize on it and the game was a disappointment in 2000 and remains so decades later. The visuals hold up OK, this might have been the first game with cartoon-style visuals (Paper Mario and Parappa aren't, just to clarify) for its entirety and they're overall pleasant. The game design is underwhelming as you must complete track challenges to unlock the Wacky Races cup with a novel but overall floundered approach to a game world menu. The biggest make or break is gameplay and it's here where the game is in shaky grounds. Advanced style is actually the better way to play than Kart, but between the AI balancing (you have little hope of winning with certain options like the Slag Brothers), token system, and overall uninspiring tracks, it leaves a bit to be desired and doesn't help the game.Read full review

Wacky Races is a very imaginative racing game. Its array of courses and characters increases the level of fun for the player. The visual and sound effects are great. One great part about this game is the opportunity to play through the entire game with two players, which also steps up the difficulty. It can capture your enjoyment for a while.
I loved the wacky races cartoon when I was young; however, this game is frustrating from the beginning. The computer opponents from the beginning seem to adjust to how well you are doing and consequently are around you at the finish line so one bobble and you lose. You must finish first to advance so this is very frustrating. My young boys 5 and 8 enjoy the cartoon on TV now but do not like this game at all. As a point of reference they love Mario Kart on DS, Gamecube, and Wii as well as Motorstorm on PS3. I was very disappointed by this game and would not rebuy.
It's cool to have it in your collection but the gameplay is garbage!

Wacky races, for the Dreamcast is alot of fun. If you grew up watching the Hanna Barbara cartoons, you will thoroughly enjoy this game. Also its one of the few games I've found that can be played by up to four players, and is easy enough for a child to control the cars.
Awesome Sauce!
