  This game is a 16 player shit show. It's amazing. Think speedrunners meets mario kart. That's it, you've got it. also, after you die, everyone's combined inputs for a reticle to attack any one player. get 15 friends with 15 phones and a projector. and probably some beer...get beer. That's a good time in the making.

  I've been waiting for this game since the Steam XMAS sale brought it to my attention, its pure unadulterated mayhem. You will be cursing out random cartoon drivers none stop. This isn't a traditional racer, or much a racer at all to be honest. If you want Kart action this isn't your game, I repeat there is very little actual racing. What this is a FFA murderfest though that has driving as the medium. It's generally played as Deathmatch or Last Man Standing, where you keep respawning, you get kills/points by destroying and knocking people off the map or lasting the longest, there isn't a difference other than looks in the Racers, everybody goes the same speed turns the same etc etc. If you want a game you can turn on and blow some steam this is great, I cant speak for how well the local multiplayer works, but I was playing with about 10 people online an hour after the launch, depsite having racers from Russia, Britain, Canada, Germany(host) and the USA, it was still respectably playable with 100-200 ping. Did I slide off the course a few times because of the lag the odd time? Yes. You forget about it 20 seconds later because another round starts and the game is just awesome.

  The party karting scene is back. Not that it went anywhere, bt PC options for such games have always been hit-or-miss. This is a definite hit. It's a blast! I haven't had the chance to try a local party yet but that's goign to happen soon. The controlls are intuitive and easy. The play is frenetic and fun. The characters/vehicles are nonsensical and perfect The weapons are silly. The modifiers are hilarious. this is the perfect family party game or drinking party game, or party party game. I run this game on my MSI GS70 Stealth (Nvidia 870M) with no issues at all on Very High settings. It's not super graphically intesive and it doesn't need to be. It's perfect, really. If you aren't getting this game, you are certainly making a mistake. I can't imagine this game not appealing to anyone.

  Great fun! I've been looking for a replacement to match the local play highlights of Micro Machines, Micro Maniacs and Mashed and FINALLY something has come along to fit the bill. While it's not a direct descendant, this is probably the closest game I've played to Mashed in a long time - but with all the modern day extra you'd expect. Loads of mods to change up the races, plenty of maps, great weapons (all very similar to Mashed, but again, tweaked perfectly). I keep going back to Mashed because I was hugely disappointed by Mashed's follow-up Wrecked. This feels like the game that Wrecked should have been - the core driving mechanics are perfect for this type of game, and the quick drop-in, drop-out means any frustration is forgotten almost instantly. My only con so far is: Where is everyone? :(

  I don't really get how this game did recieve so many positive reviews, because it has some obvious problems and they are crucial. First and major problem - 80% of the time you are literally gonna watch someone playing and oh boy if it isn't fun. There are plenty of game modes, but most of them split races on rounds in which 60-80% of players die in first 4 seconds. "So play in another modes" - you would say, but here is another problem. On a third day after release there are less than 10 people in online. There is literally nothing to play. (not game's fault, but its a multiplayer title so you get the point), Lack of content. The soundtrack is enjoyable at first and annoying after 20 mins of game session. There are only 4 racers (with some recolors, so they say "16") to chose. Maps look different artistically, but the tracks feel the same. And at last - the controls, I've played on 360 controller and its pretty personal opinion, but it's not that fun to play it. They just don't feel smooth and then you add a mess, which usually happens at races this problem becomes really frustrating. The only way I see that game being worth a purchase - to serve an option to play when you have a party at home.

  I have very mixed feelings about this game, but I'll go through my pros and cons. Pros - Catchy Music - Colourful enviornments - Wide variety of power ups - Story Mode is generally easy and let's you try over and over again until you succeed Cons - Repetitive character sounds - No variety in taunts - Lack of Diversity in characters with unoriginal and unimaginative reskins of the original 6-8 ones you can choose from. - "Story Mode" should just be named "Training Mode" as there is no story there at all. - Drifting is difficult - Races can be too quick when 10 or so people die at once - Fall out of frame of the screen and you're dead (I understand it's supposed to be that way but I'm just not a fan) - Respawn doesn't give you any time to catch up to other racers properly (You can die within 1-3 seconds of a respawn if you're not immediately drifting because you fall behind and you're off the screen) It's tough to recommend this game but if you can master drifting you stand a chance in multiplayer. Otherwise you're limited to doing versus with your own friends or story mode over and over.

  Great game! The multiplayer is fantastic. It reminds me of MarioKart but is way better and keeps all 16 players involved. Very fun game. Could be great for LAN parties. Also, the price is right. Check it out! (Yes, I know it has LAN capabilities. That is why I mentioned it. I didn't ever say it wasn't available. I just haven't done it yet, hence the "could" instead of "is".)

  I bought this instantly because the concept was really cool, but after playing this online, with one other person and bots and with a big bunch of people in a party, I found that it wasn't fun, sadly. The driftiness of the cars made the game feel like the players aren't really in control, making it frustrating and not engaging. The concept is fun, but the driving isn't, which is bad for a racing game.

  Like many other kart racers it gets many things right except the most important aspects of the genre: vehicle physics/handling and track design. It seems game developers haven't learned why Mario Kart (any version) is still the best kart racer. Handling of the vehicle is simply awful. Most of the time it seems someone else is driving your vehicle which is a dealbreaker for me. The physics are incoherent and you really have no idea what to expect. In this aspect the game feels like an alpha or early beta. The track design is super repetitive. Other than some style differences all tracks I've played seem pretty much the same.

  One of Steam's most under-rated games. A true hidden gem that got lost in amongst all the over-saturated garbage. Tragically overlooked. A game that should be on everyone's local party playlist! 50% Micro Machines 40% BlazeRush 10% Mario Kart 100% FUN!
