Billy the Wizard: Rocket Broomstick Racing review

Nov 27, 2007

The umpteenth Data Design attempt at "throw and see if it sticks" is the most grueling. From rehashes of platforming monstrosities we're thrust into JK Rowling-troubling broomstick racing. Actually, 'racing' is a tad generous, implying some sense of control and pacing. This is more like a careening simulator, plonking a hideous piece of knock-off Harry Potter character art on a stick and asking you to steer by twisting the nunchuk.

Watching your glitchy avatar rotate in thin air like the remote pointer hand on the Wii menu may raise a sneering smile, but the rest of this detritus will do its best to kick it off your face.
