ZeniMax Europe Ltd today announced that Bethesda Softworks will publish Wheelspin, a futuristic Racing game developed by Archer Maclean's studio, Awesome Play, for Wii. Due out in autumn 2009, Wheelspin is a high-energy racing, high-impact game spread across a wide range of inter-planetary tracks and features three engaging modes as well as robust multi-player options.
GAMElitist.com "The reason for it is obvious stuff. Game does well. Investors see game doing well. Investors clone game. Their game does well. It's the perfect cycle."
Multiplayer.it: From a game designer like Archer MacLean and Bethesda as a publisher, committed to the achievement of a "mature way" for Wii, it was possible to expect great things. The prospect of a cross between a futuristic racer WipEout and F-Zero looked tempting, but when the game was shown to the public are literally rained criticism.
YLG writes: "I like racing games a lot. Some you can get to grips with within seconds, some involve a steep learning curve, while others also allow you to modify your cars as much as you dare.
Wheelspin, for all of its substandard graphics, does not lack a sense of speed.
It does however lack any sort of common sense control system. A sideways controller, twisted one way or the other, makes you steer and the 2 button makes things go blurry."
well how about that. Bethesda slaps their name on a Wii game... now for them to make one rather than publish ;) pleeeeeease!
