Nitrobike

Racing rocket-propelled bikes is no fun when the controls are unreliable

If this were a perfect world, Nitrobike's controls wouldn't be broken and we'd be celebrating it as the first Wii game to offer online play. After all, Excite Truck didn't let you get six people together for relatively lag-free lap or eliminator races. But this isn't a perfect world, and the erratic controls make it tough to get any enjoyment at all out of Nitrobike, let alone leave open the possibility that you'll want to share your misery with others.
