Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Sure, it supports local split-screen multiplayer, has different gamemodes and costs close to nothing, that's not enough to justify it's just plain garbage.
35 of 156 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
While the art style is simple, it is cohesive and effective, communicating the game’s playful tone without unnecessary visual noise.
14 of 156 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
You used different characters to race with, and the tracks were awesome to run around on and outwit your opponents.
13 of 156 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay is deliberately accessible, with straightforward controls that allow players to jump in almost immediately.
11 of 156 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Sure, it supports local split-screen multiplayer, has different gamemodes and costs close to nothing, that's not enough to justify it's just plain garbage.
6 of 156 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
A difficulty slider, doing the race in forward and reverse and some other effects and options would have been easy and would have added much play value to that abandoned game.
