When compared to the Gamate, Sears and Empire Deluxe, this Wild Wheels commercial looks downright appealing. After those three pieces of garbage it's sad to end on an advert that doesn't completely suck. This Wild Wheels commercial doesn't spell anything wrong, it doesn't mislabel games, and it doesn't make light of a big-ass war. Nope, this advertisement plays it straight. But don't let that fool you, just because this is a straight-forward commercial it doesn't mean that good.

I guess the first thing I want to know about this advert is why these four cars are chasing that giant marble. I can understand if they are trying to get to the finish line first or if they are just trying to get away from that giant explosion behind them, but chasing a marble feels like a pretty piss-poor reason to race.

For a game called Wild Wheels I'm not seeing a whole lot of vehicles with actual wild wheels. Most of the visible cars have standard wheels, with one not offering wheels of any sort. Instead of having crazy wheels they opted to go for bizarre car designs. One car is like a tank, another appears to be an alien and the car in fourth place is doing its best impression of Jaws from those James Bond movies. How this helps them race is beyond me, but then again, that ball is there and the explosions are behind them, perhaps they aren't racing at all. Oh I'm so confused.
