This game is crazy, and not in a good way.
MMGN: Racers’ Island: Crazy Arenas is a sequel to poorly designed Racers’ Island: Crazy Racers which was almost unplayable due to dodgy bunch of control issues and poor graphics.
Crazy Arenas feels incomplete and overpriced. The multiplayer focus slightly enlivens the otherwise bland gameplay, however – that’s if you can convince three friends to play with you without being driven mad.
"Today we introduce you to a new game taking place in the world of Racers’ Islands. Play again with the characters from Crazy Racers in arenas where only driver’s instinct matter. From the heights of arid mountains to frozen lakes of Siberia, take the road to Racers’ Islands - Crazy Arenas on WiiWare!" -- Wiiloveit.com (Official Press Release)

Never heard of them before, but looks pretty cool. Have to see how these turn out.
While I completely love the French and indie devs, and WiiWare in particular, I disagree that DLC is "the future," considering half of console owners don't even know how to connect their consoles to the internet.
I really don't like DLC, or digital distribution in general rather.
Every time I buy a game of PSN for instance, I feel a bit of buyers remorse because I simply don't feel like I own it and I know in 20 years I won't be able to add it to my collection.
Sorry, guys. Digital distribution may be convenient -- but I'll take a hard copy over that any day.
