RedLynx's MotoHeroz has music from Alan Wake composer, hear it in this trailer
18
Ever since Trials HD for XBLA took out a multi-year lease in our hearts, RedLynx has held a bit of a trump card with us. The developer's newest game, MotoHeroz, looks to extend that lease, bringing four-wheelers to the world of 2D racing. Gameplay-wise, MotoHeroz is a mix of Joe Danger's platforming gameplay and Motocross Maniacs' nitro-boosted, loop-based 2D -- as stated in the game's initial announcement, new online maps will be added daily to the WiiWare title.
In addition to today's first gameplay trailer, RedLynx announced that Alan Wake music composer Petri Alanko is handling compositions for MotoHeroz. The first track from Alanko can be heard in the trailer we've dropped after the break, and if you find yourself dancing along, a free download is available right here.

just Wiiware?
Shame, this looks like a more fun Trials HD focused on party play as opposed to ruthless precision.

Stick it on PSN or XBLA eventually and you'll have a buy from me.

Why would they only make this for the Wii? I have a Wii and will definitely be picking it up, but they should also release it for XBLA and PSN.

Agreed. I will buy this but rather have it on a HD console because I have become an HD whore.
There are some really good WiiWare games that don't get the exposure because they aren't on the HD systems. Some people won't buy WiiWare games even when they own a Wii.

i sure would love to see the attachment rate of wiiware vs xbla vs psn on their consoles, respectively.
reason being, regardless of hardware units sold if the buy rate is low ...
joystiq, care to article?

That fanboys refuse to buy a good game b/c it is on the Wii certainly would lead you to believe WiiWare sales are low. (though I just can't wrap my head around that...it's totally beyond me!)
I have no idea WHAT principle makes you refuse to buy a great game b/c of the console. Seriously! Especially when it is on a console you own!
Though as Dogbert reminds us, you could be way ahead of us in principle...

Watch the trailer here without being forced to watch an ad and then have half the video blocked by an ad for the product you just saw an ad for.

He wasn't implying he would pirate it at all.

I would prefer it be on Xbox live. I have a Wii but rarely play it. I would play with my live buddies all night long on this. Wii Ware no purchase...Xbox Arcade Day one purchase

I would prefer if these guys would re-release Pathway to Glory on a system that wasn't embarrassing to own... Right Nokia fans?

This sure look like fun, but it would be more successful on the XBL and PSN. Most likely more people will buy it there, rather than on the Wii. Xbox and PS3 also have more fleshed out online multiplayer capabilities. Still, good luck to Redlynx.

Nice music, but it doesn't fit the game very well.
