    Homie Rollerz for the DS isn't a game that I could recommend to anyone, not even fans of the toy line or kart racers in general.

    Another seven people can join in on the festivities, but why would they want to? It would only be to fulfill the saying: Misery loves company.

    Please, for your sake and mine, stay far away from this game. Even if you get it for free. Even if you get paid to take it. Even if they make it so the DS only plays one game, and this is it, I can’t recommend it. Awful.

    Not even the most devoted Homies fans should spend their hard-earned money on this.

    Even without the Homies license attached to it, Homie Rollerz is an absolutely worthless kart racer that has obviously been given the minimum possible effort.

    It takes a significant amount of re-tries to make it out of last place during any given race. And even then, some courses seemingly cannot be won.

    Sure this game is horribly racist, but the real hate crime here is the title's poor controls and insane difficulty.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. you might say this game is bad, you might say its terrible, you might say its one of the worst on the DS, but I say this game is a statement. a statement on life, goals and friends. its not about races we win, the glitches we find or the reviews we write, but its about the impossible turns we have to make, the stories we witness and the homies we roll with along the way. in fact, you could say the real game is friendship, a gift that will last longer than this terrible game. 1000/10 would NEVER avoid.… Expand
