There’s a great sense of satisfaction that comes from beating a boss after seeing them deploy their special to grief you. A one-on-one encounter provides you with very little track clutter and, with the adversaries using their ability liberally, it creates a unique feeling of envy.

The boss fights are when the game’s arguably at its most fun and interesting. Succeed and you unlock a new character complete with their own special ability. Each tier concludes with a boss fight against a new character. You tackle numerous races to gain coins and stars for podium places which open up further races. You start out in the default buggy with a default driver with his own special ability. This upgrade system uses the coins that you earn from events which becomes crucial as you advance through the game’s career mode. There’s an upgrade system that effectively resolves this once you’ve put a couple of points into handling. Steering reacts well to your inputs although initially you might feel a delay to it on the default vehicle. The game’s twelve tracks take place in a variety of locales with shortcuts and branching paths to uncover and traverse and the handling of the vehicles feels well done. The game sports a bright, cartoon aesthetic which fits perfectly with the game’s tropical tone and the accompanying soundtrack does its best to amplify this. I’m listening.Ĭoming from Vector Unit, this mobile title transitions to the Playstation 4 offering the standard championship, quick race and split-screen modes whilst also featuring a progressive career mode which you can move through at your leisure. What we need is some kind of break from reality.

Skitting around on tarmac whilst being surrounded by teenagers who their fathers’ are living their lives through is not fun.

If Project CARS has taught me anything, it’s that karting in reality is probably the least fun discipline of motorsport. Jin PS4 / Reviews tagged arcade racer / beach buggy racing / karts / racing / tropical by Mike
