    The pit crew system is the real deal. 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.

    I've been playing this game for more than 20 hours and I'm still unlocking content and enjoying it. 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!… Expand

    I like the new characters and tracks.
    The options to customize the characters are great, compared to the first one this seems like a new game. Good thing my nephews are not going to bother me any time soon.

    I wanted VO BUT out that, the crew system is amazing, really fun, it allows me to try different playstyles through the races! I also love all the easter eggs that I'm finding here, my inner 90' child is happy. I also love the customization system, so many pieces.

    This is a surprisingly solid kart racer, controls are great and the racing mechanics, especially the unique chief and crew members are really fun. Track designs are pretty decent but nothing mind blowing. Content wise there's quite a lot there, bunch of unlockables and it's even got a mission mode which even the likes of Mario Kart 8 doesn't have.

Content wise there's quite a lot there, bunch of unlockables and it's even got a mission mode which even the likes of Mario Kart 8 doesn't have. There's an online mode too but it doesn't seem like anyone is playing it as I couldn't find a match. The only real faults I can think of is the complete lack of character voice clips which is really bizarre and makes the great character roster feel soulless, and the complete absence of any Fairly Odd Parents or Jimmy Neutron content is a bummer.

    Overall though this is an awesome kart racer and holds it's own against the top dogs like Mario Kart, CTR and Sonic & Sega All Stars. Kids will love it, fans of kart racing games will also love it.    … Expand

    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.

    Overall, Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix is generic, yet serviceable. Nick fans like me will get a big kick from all of the characters and references that were stuffed into the package, while younger kids and those new to kart racers will enjoy the accessibility of play. It may lack the features or amount of content that I would have liked, but I can safely say that I still managed to get some enjoyable mileage out of this kart racer.

    Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 doesn't quite do enough to separate itself from other games in the kart racing genre. While we are playing, it undoubtedly feels as a competent game, but its gameplay is nothing new. Comparisons to games like Mario Kart are everywhere, and even the game's unique mechanics are not enough to elevate it.
