Nice, but...
I enjoy this game, but I have to admit the experience is underwhelming. The gameplay is fast-paced, the driving enjoyable, and overall, this is a well executed fantasy kart game with a nice coat of Wipeout/F-zero on it. Depending on your taste, I would also say the music is enjoyable and fits the action and the world perfectly. So, what's the problem ? First, the presentation of the game is hideous. The menus are in the worst shade of orange and look like they have been made on MS paint. This is the first time I ever complained on such a topic, so I think it is telling how much I find it distracting. Second, the game lacks any kind of atmosphere or in game world to immerse yourself within. No voiceovers, No "3,2,1 go" at the start of a race, no transitions between levels in career mode (not even a simple loading screen. Just black). This makes it a bland experience. The way ships are unlocked is also extremely frustrating. Instead of starting the game with a small selection of ships to accommodate your playi style (Acceleration, speed, handling and so on), you start with ONE ship, and unlock new ones after finishing a career more milestone. The order is preset, and the first few ships feels very specialized, not balanced. Finally, the game doesn't seems to know what it wants to be. Fantasy kart game with weapons or not ? Some races allows for weapons, other not. Races without weapons feels they are missing something, and do not provide you with any mechanic to come back in the race if you are behind everyone. All in all, this game feels like a beta, which is a shame. Because when it comes down to the feeling the races gives you when driving, this game is awesome. This is why I won't go below 3 stars, as this is by no mean a bad game. It just feels unfinished. Positives : - Excellent driving sensations. - Nice music - Good ship and race design Negatives : - Menus are horrible - No voiceovers - Not enough ships to select from the get go. - Not enough extra-fluff
