I think I remember this TV show, vaguely. You get a group of couples, tell them they must find something (money, a lost child, I don’t remember) throw a clue at them and then give them a plane ticket to their location. Of course the next location isn’t where they need to be its just another clue and so-on and so-on. I wonder just how free the show is, do the producers ever let the slow contestants fly to the wrong country or do they just drop increasingly obvious hints.

 

But I digress Ubisoft and Ludia Inc. with a license from CBS Consumer Products are bringing this “hit” show to the Nintendo Wii. The Amazing Race will be release in North America on October 26, 2010, no word on international release but I don’t think it’s likely.

 

“Ubisoft is thrilled to be bringing The Amazing Race to fans of the game show and new players alike so that they can participate in the excitement of the show anytime they want,” said Adam Novickas, U.S. director of marketing at Ubisoft.

 

“I’m very happy that we can make everyone feel like extraordinary travelers and athletes while playing the game. I’m excited that kids and families will be able to experience the thrill of the race while competing and feel certain they will understand just how fun it is to actually compete in The Amazing Race,” said Phil Keoghan, host of The Amazing Race.

 

So here are the screenshots;
