When I got my first PS3 in the year 2013, gaming became my life. Every time the weekend would come around, I would play Playstaion classics such as Skylanders: Giants, Skylanders: Swap Force, and Minecraft PS3 Edition.
Because I was 5 years old at the time, I couldn't play any violet video games which were constanlty action packed. However, there were racing games. I didn't have Mario Kart, but I had games like CTR: Nitro Fueled, or Little Big Planet: Kart Racing. I wanted to do a IGN sort-of review on every single racing game I have ever played.
Sonic & Sega: All-Star Racing - 9/10
Holy shit, why is this game so good?
Sonic Racing was an amazing game. You not only had Sonic characters like Ugandan Knuckles, and a fatass bald man, but you had other characters from the SEGA francise. Like B.D. Joe from Crazy Taxi, Alex Kidd, and Amigo from the place that President 45 doesn't like. If you want to know the entire cast, I'll leave a link in the description with the entire cast if aplbeticalorder (Also Banjo from Banjo Kazooie in the XBOX 360 verison so I can't say much about him sorry)
There were 6 Cup races with different themed race tracks which went to a game (i.e. Tree Tops was a Super Monkey Ball Themed Track)
The Cups were the Chao Cup, Graffiti Cup, Egg Cup, Horror Cup, Sumba Cup, and Monkey Cup.
I don't really remeber the Cups that much but some really good maps I liked i whole fucking lot were the Toyko-To Tracks. I enjoyed driving through Cities and looking at those amazing City Views.
Also, side note, each track pretty much summirized the game it was themed. The Sonic Themed trcaks were usally a simple loop were you had to go Mach 10, Super Monkey Ball Themed Tracks had sharp turns, difficult obsitcles, and were (for 5 year old me) very difficult. Tokyo-To was like a Crazy Taxi Map, and Casino Maps were something from an LSD trip. It had these curves and loops which were smooth and pretty much eye candy. When you finish one lap, you'd just want to do another one just to see it all over again.
RNG Powerups in this game aren't as broken as some powers in Mario Kart (cough cough black fucking rocket body *vomits*) You have simple stuff like boosts, mines, rockets, bouncy rockets, homing rockets, and then x3 of everything I just said.
However, you now have speical Abilities which are only found on a spesific Character which I forgor how to do them but all I know is that depending on what character you play, you get a super power. Aiai gets to roll in one of my many balls, A street fighter in a ferrari kicks his car up in the air whcih puts him in first place, and Sonic gets all the Chaos Emeralds and goes super mode or something. Whatever it is I like it.
Their was also a battle mode which was an arena full of power ups (minus the super ones)where you had to kill other players and/or A.I. uhhh, that was fun.
I give it, 9 Monkey Nuts out of 10
Modnation Racing - 4/10
Modnation Racing is a racing game heavily based (hehe based) on customization. You can create your own car deisgn, form your own racetrack and create your own character. While its great how you can do that, not much is on the racing side. Just some funny generic power-ups, and simple racing. Not much to say. 4 Modnation Racers I covered in paint out of 10
Cars 2: The Game - 8/10
Cars 2 unlike the movie, had a fucking fun game. You have all the racers from the Cars 2, the losers from Radiator Springs, and teh Japanese Race Car (Shu Todoroki) who your weeb friend plays as because its a My Hero Academia Refrence.
The Powerups are much more mature with Guns, Missles, Oil-Spills, and Monster Energy for Cars aka Allinol. This is the racing game for MEN. Or as my friend corp_es would say "Were boys become Men."
The gmae has tracks from The Cars 2 Movie, and other places you wouldn't think of like the Oil Drill place were the Lemons/Bad Guys did their stuff or the Airport when Finn McMissile blew shit up but ethier way, this game is amazing.
Just a few Minor complaints, The stats are a bit confusing so I thought Tow Mater was super fast but no, turns out Luigi the Tire Salesman car is the fastest. Two people can play the same character at once which is confusing as shit, and Shu Todoroki needs to Sue Funimation for stealing his last name. 8 Ka-Chows out of 10
Sonic: All-Star Racing TRANSFORMED - 3/10
Just a worser verison of the Sonic Game. You can not only Drive, but Sail, and Fly. It sucks. They took away the charm from the Maps, Characters, and Cups. The Flying controls are ape-shit, the boat controls are also ape-shit, and the game has wreck-it-ralph. I'l, explain why I don't like wreck-it-ralph in a later episode.
CTR: Nitro Fueled - 6/10
Crash Bandicoot is Sony/Playstations verison of Mario. Or Spyro I don't know. Anyways, this game is alright. I don't hate it, but I don't like it ethier. To get the bad out of the way first, Drifting sucks, Character stats don't matter because you can customize your own, multiplayer servers are empty 8/10 times, and thats it. Other than that, its pretty good.
The Wumpa fruit will help you in the race. If you get 10 or more, you get a slight speed boost, and better powerups like instead of TNT, you get Nitro TNT. Thats pretty Neat.
Cool thing, their are different Driving Styles. Balanced, which is what all things should be. Turn, which makes me very dizzy. Speed, which allows you to go Mach 10. Drift, which is much more Speed and Turn. AndAcceleration which gives you a big head start. So yeah, good game. 6 Wumpa Fruit Mango Apple fucking things out of 10.
So why did I make this? Well I don't know I just really like racing games. Anyways, thanks for reading, see ya. If you're bored, I'll try to make more of this IGN sort of shit.
