    Even though there are only a couple of good games in the kart racing genre, the two being Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing, it is still hard to recommend Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 to the fans of the genre as it is shallow, lacks content and simply fails to entertain.

    And the racing itself - while enjoyable at times - is too unwieldy and loose. Characters slip and slide around the track with little regard for friction. Drifting seems appears unnecessary (as does slowing down) even on the fastest speeds and curviest tracks. Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix borrows so much and yet still misses the mark. It may be the good will its progenitor has built up over the years, but getting hit by a jellyfish (this game's infamous blue shell) just doesn't have the same impact.

It's the big difference from other karting games, and opens up an immense amount of strategy and replayability. I can't stress enough how cool this is, both for single player challenges and competitive play. Still no voices, but the roster is incredible, game controls great, graphics are much better and music is finally good and representative of the series. Full Review »

The improvements in comparison with the first NKR game are huge. Definitely the best addition to the franchise is the crew system. Having so many customization options based on so many characters you can choose from really gives the game their own personality and makes me feel that I still have many things to discover. Driving mechanics were improved so now almost every character feels different from another and ,although almost all the power ups are inspired in Mario Kart items, the crew chiefs change the racing experience in a great way. If you are into karting games or you are a Nickelodeon fan, this game is definitely for you! Full Review »
