Speed Racer Channels WipeOut

We've seen the trailer, and now we're seeing the screenshots of Speed Racer the Video Game for the Wii. It's based off of the upcoming movie, which will be violently sodomizing our childhood memories this May courtesy of the Wachowski brothers. As for the game itself, it sort of looks like WipeOut or F-Zero GX, only with the lead vehicle replaced with the Mach Five. Now this is not necessarily a bad thing mind you. I love WipeOut and F-Zero. Hell, I even loved Extreme-G for the Nintendo 64, and that was a foggy mess. No fog in these screens, so who knows? Could be a winner. Could also suck horribly, but I'd like to maintain a positive outlook. It just makes the potential disappointment that much sweeter.
