Chrysler Classic Racing follows trends set by countless racing games before it. Racing games can be fun, even if they don't offer anything new, but they have to at least have some racing fundamentals that work. This is where Chrysler Racing fails. It's a weak driving experience coated with shoddy artwork. In the end this game (like a lot of these "vintage" Chryslers) should be forgotten to the annals of history.

WorthPlaying writes: "As far as the Nintendo DS is concerned, the system has a good amount of racing games, with wildly different degrees of quality associated with them. You have the upper echelon of racers led by Mario Kart DS followed by Asphalt Urban GT 2, Diddy Kong Racing and Ridge Racer DS. The average racers come next, with games like MySims Racing, Need for Speed Undercover and Indianapolis 500 Racing representing some decent choices for the discerning Nintendo DS racing fan."
Most racers are absolute garbage on the DS. The Kart Racers are good but the Arcade racers are mostly garbage, it says something that Asphalt 4 on the DSiware is better than most of them and definitely looks better than the crap the major publishers are putting on there.*looks at EA*
WP writes: "More often than not, racing games that feature cars from only one manufacturer end up being bargain bin fodder, and for good reason. These games are about as bare-bones as possible, featuring mediocre graphics and sound as well as a plain racing circuit with few extras. While having all of the cars from a given manufacturer is nice, you still don't get the sense that they are all that different, turning a prime opportunity to put out a decent niche racing game into a wasted one. Despite the setbacks that come with such a game, however, they still get made, and unsuspecting people still buy them up. Chrysler Classic Racing for the Wii is another racing title that, sadly, fits well into this category. It does get credit for trying something different, but it ultimately fails on just about every level."
