A kart racer also lives and dies by the racing mechanics. It is this variety and inventiveness that really stood out to me and made the game a lot more fun and chaotic. But there areĪlso, some wacky powers that can be found things like firing goo that slows down an opponent or anti-gravity weapons that lift a kart up, making it almost impossible to control. The things that you come to expect are here of course homing missiles, boosts, traps et al. Of course, there are the normal power-ups that are scattered all over each course. It is a cool feature not often seen in other kart racers. Some abilities give a speed boost, some knock racers out, while others distract the other players. These differ wildly, but are all there to give the players an edge when needed.
Along with the various power-ups that can be collected during a race, each character has a special ability that can be activated twice per race. The characters all have a nondescript look, but all differ in their actual style (there is a Mexican wrestler, a pirate, a robot and even a man in a bunny costume), which does at least make them stand out from each other, as does their special abilities. The game is a budget title, and although it does lack the kind of polish a higher budget game would undoubtedly have, it still manages to feel like a quality product with a lot of content albeit with some certain limitations.Īesthetically the game reminded me of Modnation Racers, a game that was released way back for the PlayStation 3 and PSP. Multiplayer: Up to 8 players – Offline only Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox (Reviewed), Switch Made by Vector Unit, the developer behind titles like Riptide GP, Hydro-Thunder Hurricane and the original Beach Buggy game, who have made a name for themselves in the arcade racing genre Beach Buggy Racing 2 continues the same style of racing which has given the studio their success. Up steps Beach Buggy Racing 2: Island Adventure a game with a bit of a legacy. With all the seriousness that comes with games like Dirt, Forza and Project Cars there is definitely a market for the less intense racing game. Mario Kart on the Switch is still doing gangbusters, and even Crash Bandicoot is getting back in on the action. There certainly isn’t a shortage of Kart Racing games at the moment.
