Here's the box.

ExciteBots is a party racing game starring animal-shaped robots, in which minigames pop up during races. "You won't believe your eyes when you find yourself shooting goals, throwing pies and even playing poker in the middle of racing robotic animals and insects around off-road tracks," the blurb says.

The boxart kind of reminds me of Stunt Race FX on the Snes. That isn't a bad thing as SRFX was a pretty good game.

Doesn't look half bad, but I've already got too many videogames I need to purchase, so probably not.

Noooo, not an animal/car/robot/thingy racing! I want to race cars or trucks or bikes, not some dumb animal/machine crossbreed.

Ubisoft S.C.A.R.S. (a mario kart clone) for N64 was an animal/car racer and was very very dumb...

Anyhow I really really long for a good racing game for my Wii, no scifi cr@p, no 'big nose' cartoon, just plain old solid street racing or rally action.

Just my two cents by the way...
