Graphics : 7.0

The tracks of Wild Wild Racer introduce a great variety of elements, nicely defined, and an illumination also various and realistic. The light effects create some beautiful atmospheres and also the atmospheric agents, as rain and snow are particularly well recreated. Nevertheless, the graphic engine of the game is not well projected as that of Smugglers'Run. Respect to the incredible views of Smugglers'Run, in fact, in Wild Wild Racing the views are always limited. There are always bends or natural obstacles that prevent the player to perceive elements at a great distance from the car he is driving.There are besides various draw-in issues that causes often the trees and mountains to appear suddenly, rather than gradually.

It's a shame that Rage developers didn't succeed in doing something better, also because, overall, the graphics of WWR is pleasant and also surprising, especially thanks to the art in the choice of colours and in the creation of the cars. The vehicles of Wild Wild Racing are surely superior to those of Smugglers' Run, the level of detail is excellent and also the animations are extremely realistic. Also special effects like smoke and dust are excellent and overall, the graphics of Wild Racing appear slightly better than those of Smugglers'Run.

Sound : 6.5

The sound effects of Wild Wild Racing are good and every car has its particular sound. In theory, you could even recognize your adversary from the roar of his buggy. The music don't surprise and it only has the purpose to give a surrounding atmosphere to the race.

Wild Wild Racing introduces various game modes and tracks that can offer a good time for a period long enough to justify the purchase of this game (if you are a lover of games about the world of the four wheels…). The Challenge mode, that will allow you to use new cars, is quite original and also the multiplayer mode, as it happens for every racing or sport game, make the replay value of this game longer.

Overall Score ( not an average ) : 7.5

Wild Wild Racing is a good game from Rage and surely it will be appreciated by all those people that want to play on more exciting grounds in comparison to those of Ridge Racer V. The developers clearly had some problems in improving the graphic engine of the game, that shows pop up defects and doesn't guarantee a width of view comparable to Smugglers' Run.

In comparison to Smugglers'Run however, Wild Wild Racing is surely a more amusing and various game. Smugglers' Run has the great merit to have huge territories to explore, but also the unforgivable defect to have not exploited this resource to excite the imagination of the player. Waiting for better titles, Wild Wild Racing is a game that could enter in your collection of games for Ps2 without the risk of being forgotten too soon.
