This engaging experience, set in Speedville, adds some nice elements to the racing game genre. The pleasant storyline and strong customization options put a nice spin on the standard kart-racing formula.

As the story goes, an evil property mogul called Morcubus threatens ruin upon the town, so a customizable driver must become a hero and save the community. Racing coach, Ol' Gabby, has some helpers named Tobor and Makoto in the garage, a common stop throughout the game. The accessible town map has a great layout, so players can find points of interest (often marked by character heads) quickly and easily. Players can complete missions with open ended exploration as well with the option to end current missions.

The controls are smooth, responsive, and the game can be played in five different control combinations: the remote, remote and nunchuk, classic controller, GameCube controller, or the steering wheel peripheral. Players can export/import custom cars using the remote, so keep that in mind when starting your profile character.

After getting the starting traffic lights right for a “lightning start,” one has to collect the crystals on the road for power-ups involving bunnies, bubble droppers, and beehives. The developers even provide a stress-free advancing power-up from a UFO among the high speed hijinx. The tracks include huge roller coaster loops; pinball physics; and weather effects including wind, ice, and water.

The MySims character themes (a.k.a. essences) can match personality preferences while adding some special visual touches. Players can collect essences for having completed tasks, usually ones involving picking up townsfolk taxi-style. Blueprints are also wanted rewards because they enhance engines, frames, handling, and special items like fuel injection and transmissions. Players can also mix and match car parts for some open ended and creative combinations.
