There is no drifting, but it’s really not needed since you can take a corner with little to no effort. The only way I managed to squeeze out a few wins was to make use of these, and that just takes the fun out of winning.Ĭontrol is fairly responsive when you are not slogging through the atrocious framerate and strange glitches. Really, the only way you have a chance to get a win is by purchasing and using “Boosts” that you buy in the in game shop - using in game currency thank goodness. Good luck actually placing in the top three in any race, since the CPU opponents always seem to be one step (and three places) ahead of you. There are pies that act like the turtle shells from Mario Kart, smoking of magic wand that does, something (I couldn’t tell) and a shield that doesn’t seem to block anything. There are weapons scattered throughout each track, ranging from a little helpful, to completely useless. It was so bad that sometimes I would get passed by other racers and never see them since they clipped right by me.

I went into Garfield Kart with the hopes that we would finally see a game that is worthy of the fat, lovable orange cat… Well, this isn’t it.īefore we begin, I must say that this game is completely aimed at kids. Sure there were some 16-bit outings in the past, but these were merely forgettable cash-ins. I have yet to see a good videogame starring Garfield and his pals.
