One of the most creative tracks is “Red Planet” that being said it’s a pain in the backside when you’re bouncing and floating on the red half of the track, rendering the idea rather irritating. I think that’s partly down to a few of the twelve tracks in the game being uninspiring, despite having shortcuts and minor hazards such as giant crabs in the way. In fact after a couple of races, even on different tracks, it became a little boring. There’s no shortage of events in the Career, meaning plenty of hours of gaming are to be had, however it isn’t the type of game to keep you hooked in. Or it could present you with a Chicken Crate to use on those behind you, unless you’re in sixth place and then you’ll probably need all manner of awesome power-ups and a small miracle to recover. If you keep your fingers crossed for one of these at the right time then the power is in your hands to turn a race on its head. Featuring 27 in total, the real game-changers are the Death Bat, a firey bat of death that homes in on first place, and the Low Gravity power-up which sees cars in front of you lose their gravitational pull. Races aren’t won solely based on ability behind the wheel though, the power-ups can influence the outcome greatly, with some luck. And with no difficulty settings you can’t even adjust it to make it all that little bit easier. Subsequently I found myself repeating races multiple times to finish first because my vehicle had dodgier handling and the A.I. I should be faster, the handling should be better but instead it felt identical to when I had the bare minimum of improvements, rendering my upgrades within the 250HP parameters useless. Obviously to compete in lesser events it’ll downgrade to a high end 250HP, yet when I attempted one of the earlier events with my top of the range car it was more of a struggle that I anticipated. I accumulated enough coins (from winning and even just participating) to improve my vehicle to 500HP.
Now here comes my first gripe… each Series has a HP rating for the level of vehicle that must be used ranging from 100 to 1000HP. Every event has up to three possible stars to earn and by gathering more stars you’ll unlock additional races and the all important one versus one boss race.
