Nothing's truly new or captivating here. It feels like a half-hearted cash-in designed to prey on your nostalgia, not unlike Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled. It's nothing but a curiosity, fun for the few minutes prior to the realization of just how badly Excitebike has aged.
And to anyone who would pose the inevitable "Well, what did you expect? It's Excitebike!" -- see Mega Man 9, Bubble Bobble Plus, Dr. Mario Online Rx, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, or any number of other like-priced WiiWare titles that succeed at revitalizing beloved games. Excitebike's a cut below any of those classics, which World Rally pretty aptly demonstrates.
