Speed Racer (spoiler)

I was /am also a big fan of the cartoon. I watched it repeatedly when I was 5yrs old.
Seeing the movie clips really disappointed me. I will only be seeing this if it pops on
the free channels of cable. maybe.

Honestly the racing scenes were my favorite parts and makes me wish the video game for the wii was slightly better. If only NASCAR had long jumps and spikes that popped out of the ground.

One of my first comments after the movie was that this could translate to a kick-butt racing game. I'm disappointed to hear it's not...

I grew up watching and enjoying some of the cheesiest Japanese cartoons like Speed Racer, Marine Boy and Kimba The White Lion.
Knew the second I saw the Playstation 2 caliber CGI that I wouldn't be going anywhere near this one. Love cars and hate CGI car stunts. The irony is that while the Speed Racer cartoon had some over the top stuff like robotic cars and sabotage, there weren't any cornball tracks with loops and stuff in them. It did have potential to be a cool movie for me if they would have stuck a bit more to the cartoon.

Just based on what I saw of the tracks in the Speed Racer trailer, you'd probably like Trackmania. They just released a free version a few weeks ago. http://www.trackmania.com/en/

I thought, for being PG, the movie was great. I expected much more 'kiddy' moments then I got, though they were still in there. I haven't seen the original, just a clip here or there, but my friend had watched them when he was younger...on tape. He liked that they kept some of the racers, and though it was different over all he liked it. The colors where odd but the racing made up for that, and the fight scene was pretty good lol. The camera was a bit odd but you know I haven't seen that before and it was interesting.
I also heard some of the reviews, at least this one, he didn't like it because of what it's message about big corporations was.
As for it being a game, yea if it could capture what the movie had it would be one of the few Racing games I like. Realism in racing is boring to me, and the more damage they can take the better.
