The sequel to the award winning Full Auto is development at SEGA in Europe and U.S. and will feature over 25 cars, 20 weapons and 20 or more tracks. The tracks will be fully destructable so you can use destruction as a strategy to win your races. You can even blast your way through the tracks and create shortcuts or just crush opponents with falling debris caused by well-timed missiles.

Wiisuck.net is for all the Wii haters, get inspired to hate Nintendo’s Wii even more! Or read through some of the one-liners that people are writing about Wii. I’ve chosen to accept “Wii” for what it is. A marketing slang for “Real name unveiled at E3″.
