Based directly on the 2008 Wachowski brothers' film, Speed Racer for PS2 is a stunt-filled racing game that allows players to take the roles of Speed, Trixie, Racer X, and other characters, voiced by the actors who portray them on the big screen. The game aims to play off the exaggerated action of the film as well, with loopy, convoluted tracks and virtual speeds of over 400 miles per hour. "Car-fu" combat plays a central role, and winners will have to spin, flip, and smash their way ahead of their competition.

The main storyline is based around winning the World Racing League Cup. This video game adaptation focuses on the racing aspect of the film and it is the first third-party game for the Wii to support the Wii Wheel. More than 15 characters from the film are represented as playable drivers in the game and the vehicles from the film can be selected from the game's menu. Maximum speeds during the races can exceed 350 MPH.

The race tracks feature loops, jumps, corkscrews, and many twists and turns. They all have a high-tech look with bright colors. The game offers split-screen multiplayer in addition to single player races. Drivers can engage in combat during races by employing "car-fu" manoeuvres such as "tail toss", "boost bash", "smack down", "round house", and "torpedo", among others.

Features
* Play as Speed Racer, Trixie, Racer X, and other drivers
* Defeat rival drivers by mastering the gravity-defying powers of "Car-Fu"
* Battle friends via split-screen display
