KartRider Review

The old days of kart racing. You know what I'm talking about the Mario kart racing games. Well Nexon decided to give this genre a try and well the results well that will be for later. Let me explain KartRider is a racing game with cartoon like styles as you'll see. The game consists of mostly multiplayer but a very unique multiplayer. They haven't developed KartRider that much since it is still in beta form but it still has a long way to go.

First is multiplayer the game has most of the basics. You are allowed to have a race using two types: speed or item. Speed is really just racing without items. There is drifting but it isn't useful because it is not controlled so it doesn't help. Speed is cool but it could be improved. Item mode is of course has to do with items. The items are of course fun give this game a pickup and play feel. Those two types are divided farther into single and team, but those are pretty self explanatory.

Scenario is the next mode but it feels odd with racing. You have a small cut scene followed by a race. The races can be easy but start getting increasingly hard later in the game. The game uses multiplayer too but you are forced to do it. In some ways that can get very annoying again and again.

There are extra modes like license where you are able to get licenses those are easy to get because there are more like it. The game also provides shopping where you shop for a lot of stuff. You can also give gifts for other buddies. Garage is amazing as it is like a lounge. You see your friends and relax too. Again that is one of the many qualities of multiplayer.

Time trial is the last subject on this review. It includes courses that aren't in multiplayer. This includes a complex city based track. There hasn't been any reason for this. The problem is that it does not have a ranking based system. There isn't a lot of motive to this game besides race.

Over all the game has some amazing stuff but again is lacking in others. The game could be in single player but it does have some amazing features for a free game so that is why I give it a
