Excitebots: Trick Racing

Reviewed by Jason Venter (May 12, 2009)

As you race around each course, you'll obviously want to finish in first place if you can, but that's no guarantee that you'll win. It's quite possible to place second or third—even fourth—if you avoid living on the edge. Each time you manage a long power slide, you could earn anywhere from one to five stars. Launching into the air and staying there for a lengthy period of time also yields a similar reward, as does weaving between perilous stands of trees or even crashing spectacularly. There's a substantial bonus if you cross the finish line first, but the person who wins is ultimately the one who bags the most stars.
