The Amazing Race > The Amazing Race Discussion
New Amazing Race and Survivor Video games to be released! TAR Wii is here!
Glamazon Racer:
I bought the iPod Touch Version and I played 2 times. I have done extremely well, although I do admit, I played on 'EASY' difficulty on both occasions.
My first run was with the 'Rockers' Cat & Ingrid:
Leg 1: Santiago, CHILE -> Honolulu, USA (1st place)
Leg 2: Honolulu, USA -> Nassau, BAHAMAS (1st place)
Leg 3: Nassau, BAHAMAS -> Moscow, RUSSIA (1st place)
Leg 4: Moscow, RUSSIA -> Cape Town, SOUTH AFRICA (1st place)
Leg 5: Cape Town, SOUTH AFRICA -> Beijing, CHINA (2nd place - that darn Military team beat me by two minutes!!! :cmas28 )
Leg 6: Beijing, CHINA -> Auckland, NEW ZEALAND (5th place - I guess it's safe to assume I misread the instructions on the Roadblock... :cmaslol )
Leg 7: Auckland, NEW ZEALAND -> Dubai, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (1st place)
Leg 8: Dubai, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES -> Delhi, INDIA (1st place)
Leg 9: Delhi, INDIA -> Stockholm, SWEDEN (1st place)
Leg 10: Stockholm, SWEDEN -> Cairo, EGYPT (1st place)
Leg 11: Cairo, EGYPT -> Santiago, CHILE (1st place - $1,000,000!!! HOORAY!!!!) (The Students? F/F team came second by about 15 minutes, and the third team was about 7 hours behind, lol! :cmas30: :cmas22 )
My second attempt was with the Gothic team, 'Cassandra & Vincent':
Leg 1: Cairo, EGYPT -> Stockholm, SWEDEN (1st place)
Leg 2: Stockholm, SWEDEN -> Honolulu, USA (1st place)
Leg 3: Honolulu, USA -> Mexico City, MEXICO (4th place - the first time I tried 'Tomatina', I did VERY poorly! :mas25 )
Leg 4: Mexico City, MEXICO -> Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA (1st place)
Leg 5: Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA -> London, ENGLAND (1st place)
Leg 6: London, ENGLAND -> Bangkok, THAILAND (1st place)
Leg 7: Bangkok, THAILAND -> Sydney, AUSTRALIA!!!! :cmas9 (1st place - I have to win in my home city, lol :cmas27 )
Leg 8: Sydney, AUSTRALIA -> Nairobi, KENYA (3rd place - I picked a bad flight to save some money for the last three legs)
Leg 9: Nairobi, KENYA -> Beijing, CHINA (1st place)
Leg 10: Beijing, CHINA -> Rome, ITALY (1st place)
Leg 11: Rome, ITALY -> Cairo, EGYPT (1st place - $1,000,000 - Cat & Ingrid came second by just six minutes! Third place was the Military Couple and they were about 45 minutes behind)
Well, I guess it's safe to say that I mastered 'Easy' level! Tomorrow it's time to give the 'HARD' one a crack! I'm sure I won't win 9/11 legs on that difficulty! :cmaslol
I think that the game is pretty decent. I'm very disappointed that they aren't releasing an Australian version on Wii, as I was looking forward to it, but the iPod Game is fun too!
My favorite element is the unpredictability of the NEL legs. In my first attempts, the NELs were in Leg 3 (9 teams) and Leg 6 (7 teams), whereas my second attempt placed the NELs in Leg 6 (6 teams) and Leg 9 (4 teams).
I just wish there were some U-Turns or at least some Yields, as that would certainly make things more interesting! Also, you can claim BOTH Fast Forwards in this game, and sometimes, you still do a Detour/Roadblock afterwards.
Sorry for the extremely long post guys! Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy The Amazing Race and this game! :kisses :cmastree
