Chrysler Classic Racing

SCORE: 68

Chrysler Classic Racing has a 1950s feel to it. The storyline continues the 1950s theme. Many of the vehicles and race tracks also have the same old feel to them. The goal of this game is to become the "King of Cool." With the economic problems Chrysler is currently having, I hope this game will help their image. This Wii game is also one of the value priced titles that sells for under twenty US dollars.

There are plenty of soft colors in Chrysler Classic Racing. The details are not the greatest. In fact I was a little disappointed by both the details, and the animations. There are small sparks when cars bump into each other. These collisions cause more game play issues than graphical ones. The artistic look of the characters is very close to looking like Miis.

The audio department of Chrysler Classic Racing on the Wii is around average. The music did nothing for me in the positive or the negative. The car revving sounds are standard for this kind of a video game. The storyline has the player racing against others (ala Grease), or getting the right number of bunnies for a girl. Cruising, and becoming part of the gang are also aspects of Chrysler Classic Racing.

There are quite a few easy levels in Chrysler Classic Racing, but there are also some challenging ones. There are a few extras that will interest gamers, especially at the low price this game is selling for brand spanking new. Zoo Games also included some unlockable content, and many of these cars bring back memories from my younger days. Two players can play Chrysler Classic Racing at the same time for those that like to compete in some old old old school racing action.

When I first started playing Chrysler Classic Racing I thought the controls were a little loose. I found out that the controls were just fine as long as I did not bump into any other cars. I wound up winning quite a few races in a row before dropping one. The various challenges included in this Wii game add a little spice, that I appreciated. I had fun with Chrysler Classic Racing, even though it did not last long.

The main lesson I found in Chrysler Classic Racing is to be cool by winning races. Sure there are other things to do. I would like to see a sequel to this franchise especially if it is more polished. The racing action is generally safe for the entire family, and I like how it trains the player to avoid accidents. I also believe children can learn appreciation for the artistic designs of old Chrysler's vehicles.
