Heracles: Chariot Racing is a new WiiWare title by Neko Entertainment. The gameplay is similar to Mario Kart, but the challenging courses are enough to make it it’s own game.

The game has single and multiplayer modes. The single player mode consists of Championship, Single Race and Time Trials. In all three of these modes you choose from 9 characters and race against other characters for the Bronze, Silver or Gold Trophy. While racing, you will have chances to pick up different weapons like fireballs, tridents and lightning to use against your opponents. There are 5 courses in the game, but each Trophy race does make small changes to give you a little surprise. The Bronze and Silver Trophy consists of five races each, while the Gold Trophy has ten. The multiplayer mode has Championship, Single Race and Battle. All three modes can be played with 2-4 players for split-screen excitement.
