    Kartrider: Drift not only impresses with its stunning visuals and advanced graphic engines, but also inherits the smooth driving sensation developed over 18 years of service by its predecessor. The game offers a variety of customization options for beginners, and is available on multiple platforms. While there may be issues with an unstable network and cheating, players can still enjoy fast-paced racing on both mobile and PC.

    For a full launch, I think there’s plenty of content that’ll keep you entertained. It has a strong driving model with interesting mechanics and plenty of modes to tackle alone, with a pair, or a group of mates. I find KartRider: Drift to be very addicting, seeing as I’ve put well over 50 hours into the game already, I can easily see myself putting more than double over the coming months.

    KartRider: Drift is a fast-paced and fun arcade racing game with plenty of tracks of increasing difficulty, which, however, must be first unlocked. On the other hand, it is more of the same, with no real innovation compared to the genre's cornerstones, such as the Mario Kart franchise. As a free-to-play title, it is definitively worth giving it a chance, all the more so because its monetization system is solely based on cosmetic items that in no way affect the outcome of the races.

    Nexon launches a challenge to Mario Kart with its kart racing arcade in a new fashion. Kartrider: Drift has a substantial package of modes and options to please a wide public, but it's still quite far away from its paradigm.

    A unique Kart racing game. Same genre but kinda hard-core and skill-based; The game's mostly about how well you use the drift.

    The game is fun, the matchmaking takes 3 seconds, lots of mode of racing and it's free.

    Matchmaking is absolutely good, and I can find no items which I can get by paying some money. It's free!

    The good:
    The game is free and easy to get into if you've played other cart racing games.
    You can customize your cart with decals and wraps    The good:
    The game is free and easy to get into if you've played other cart racing games.
    You can customize your cart with decals and wraps which is fun.
    Characters are cute, and there are plenty to choose from.
    Matchmaking takes no time at all, once you are ready there's a game waiting for you.
    The game runs smoothly without hiccups or crashes.
    There's enough racing modes to keep you busy.

    The bad:
    It's still a game as a service.
    The items during team races can still hurt your teammates.
    On that note, some items need to be balanced.
    There's not many maps, maybe 4 from what I've seen. 8 would have been perfect.
    Drifting is probably the worst par about racing...and it's in the name.
    Redeeming Prime Rewards is a nightmare.

    Overall: it's a good free game, if you don't have a Nintendo product and want to play a kart racer, this is worth the time.    … Expand

    A game that is degraded than beta.
    The high speed and easy-to-get boosters in the CBT 2nd round disappeared, leaving only slow speed and    A game that is degraded than beta.

    Just a Mario cart copycat with customization elements and numerous glitches.
