Wacky Races: Crash & Dash |
|
Wacky Races: Crash & Dash is an action racing game with fun-filled environments, crazy cars and hilarious characters. The game features all the characters and cars from the TV series including old favorites: Turbo Terrific driven by Peter Perfect, the Ant Hill Mob in their Bullet Proof Bomb, Penelope Pitstop, and the Mean Machine driven by Dick Dastardly and his sidekick, Muttley. Players join Dick Dastardly and the gang, racing across a variety of action-packed and colorful cross-country rallies from the TV series. Racers watch out for traps and speed ahead to win the ultimate title of World’s Wackiest Racer. Wacky Widgets are collected during the race to gain “Wacky Powers,” as well as a character’s super-special “Way Out Wacky” power, which can be used to gain the upper hand over sly opponents.

The action's limited but still amusing, and the music is truly late '60s fabulous. [Sept 2008, p.71]

Wacky Racers is still a better cartoon than a game. Crash and Dash is proof of that.

The simple controls and childish mini-games don't provide enough stimulation to keep the mind occupied.

Worth Playing
It actually left me frustrated because it manages to do a lot right, but ultimately, it's too lacking in too many areas to be something I can recommend.

Despite a wave of innovations manages to be less enjoyable than the near decade old GBC version. Less of the Wacky and more of the wack.

If you are a fan of the show, it’s recommended you pick up the DVD to serve your hunger for wackiness. Avoid Wacky Races: Crash & Dash at all costs.

GameSpot
Stripped-down controls with little punishment for crashing make Wacky Races an extremely boring racer.

Games Radar
While Crash & Dash may look like a racing game, it’s really more of a party game in a racer’s clothing. It has a few moments of fun, but is plagued by its dreary, repetitive minigames, questionable controls, and fundamental lack of strategy.

To make matter worse, the race will stop dead at certain points to forcibly initiate a mini-game in the guise of one of Dastardly and Muttley's futile foils.
