Like i've never seen a better racer.

yeah, some games are a bit "holier than thou" sporting many 'options', read: useless poo poo no one actually wants. I'll tell you what people want: being able to fly a goddamn plane.

yeah, you can drive 3 different vehicles. dont see that in every racer do ya? gently caress no.

The powerups are very, very balanced. meticulously I would say. The people that go for the blue 'spped' powerups are just as likely to get shot by the people who take the red 'rocket' powerups as the people who take the green 'defense' ones.

there are many characters who have different strengths and weaknesses. pixie is the best at turning, but conker has better acceleration. this nuance leads to many very, very close races & battles.

Supposedly they're rumored to be making a new Diddy Kong Racing but it's tied in with the Amiibo poo poo so who knows how that will turn out.

literally everything you just said is in sonic racing transformed, but it also doesn't run at 15 fps, has tracks that are actually interesting, has a focus on chaining boosts the entire map so you go really fast and doesn't cut out the music when you play multiplayer

it even has the same gimmicky single player

sonic doesn't allow you to pick one vehicle and stay with it the entire race. I dunno if that's good or bad, but it would be better if you could transform at will instead of at set points.

yeah that's a fair point but it lets them have more freedom with maps instead of making a bunch of boring as gently caress figure eights because all everyone does is pick planes every single time

e. so how this works is there are mouse and keyboard controls. Holding both the run buttons makes you run faster. Then you hold both the jump buttons and you go even faster.

I only ever played Midtown 1 but as a result I know downtown Chicago/the waterfront pretty well for never having been there

more driving games should have courses based on real-world street layouts
