![]() RELATED: Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled Heads To The Circus This Weekįurious Racing definitely takes more than a few cues from Nintendo's latest kart racer, speaking of which. It's the same formula Nintendo shook up in the early 90s, and there's not too much different here. Cartoon characters get in silly cars and race each other on whimsical tracks, chucking items at each other in a blistering race to the finish. Joking aside, players basically know what to expect here. It stands side by side with classics like South Park Rally, Homie Rollerz, and M&M's Kart Racing. And that job entails saying that despite surefire improvements over the last entry, Garfield Kart: Furious Racing is nothing more than a basically serviceable kart racer with clear budgetary restraints, lack of content, and some glaring flaws.įurious Racing joins a long, pedigreed line of mascot kart racers.
