I think I'm going to like this game. Why? Because it looks so dang weird! Take a read of Stephen Totilo's impressions:

There are momentum-shifting mini-game moments. Sometimes your racing robot is forced to stop mid-race and swing around a pole for added momentum (you have to swing the controller at this point). Sometimes a power-up on the screen transforms your robot back to an invincible biped, forcing you to run him ahead on the track. “Excitebots” presents racing at the most absurd level I’ve seen in games.
