    Overall, Disney Speedstorm is a good kart racer. The overly complex in-game economy and lack of Grand Prix or other modes outside of single races may push some gamers away, and I wouldn’t blame them. At its core, this solid kart racer does just enough to make it worth checking out, but it won’t be challenging the title of Mario or Crash any time soon.

    Disney Speedstorm is a solid racer that ties a number of franchises together in one fun experience. Seeing fan favorites share a racetrack is a thrill, however, a variety of issues stop this from reaching the greatness of its influences. The restrictive nature of its character selection and the confusing number of currencies hinders the enjoyment. Mix in the performance issues and this racer narrowly misses the podium.

    Disney Speedstorm is a fun game that we're glad to see has quite a bit of quality to it. There are some reservations about how well the free-to-play monetisation will work as we move forward, but looking just at the game itself, it’s not a bad time. There is room for this title to become very popular, especially if the right additions are made. At the very least, this can become a fun game for friends. If you're a Disney fan, it's a good way to mash together some of your favorite old movies and battle it out on the racetrack.

    Disney Speedstorm is a solid racing game that falls victim to the free to play format, with a repetitive reward system full of loot boxes. The lack of content and slow progression make it get boring in no time.

    Disney Speedstorm has plenty of potential, but at present the racing feels unbalanced and there's far too much currency to get familiar with. [Early Access Review Score = 55]

    All in all, Disney Speedstorm is a game that I can see myself returning to, both for the new seasons and to dive into high-action races with my favorite Disney personalities. There aren’t many other live service games in the racing genre, so for those who love cosmetics, Disney, or playing with friends, this title will be a great addition to the mix and an upbeat way to take a break from the shooters and battle royales. [Early Access Score = 80]

    Allerdings jede Menge Fehler. Man kommt durchs Ziel und ist statt Dritter oder so ein Platz weiter hinten. Spiel stürzt ständig ab.

    Was am meisten nervt. Mehrspielerrennen wird man zweiter und bekommt Punktabzug. Ein absolutes No-Go und macht dann auch kein Sinn zu fahren. Glotzkowski viel zu stark. Klar wenn man den selber fährt ist das gut. Aber wenn man dann ein anderen Fahrer nimmt hat man wenig bis gar keine Chance zu punkten. Spiel macht aber ansonsten schon Spass. Trotzdem ziehe ich etliche Punkte ab. So wie man mir die als zweiter auch abziehen würde.
    Ich weiß das sich die Macher das ni hat zu Herzen nehmen. Aber man muss auch irgendwo mal ein Spiel bewerten.



    Und wieder zweiter und wieder Punktabzug. Oh Mann so ein beschissenes Punktesystem

    Spielspaß kommt immer.mehr auf null.


    Deswegen habe ich die Bewertung noch ein weniger gemacht.

    Support mit wirren Aussagen als Begründung

    Achja und Spielabstürze mehren sich von Tag zu Tag. Gerade bei Mehrspieler.

    Absolut unterirdisch mittlerweile das Spiel    … Full Review »

It's incredible and EASILY the best kart racer on modern consoles! ABSOLUTELY don't sleep on this! It does a lot of uniue and original stuff to make it different from Mario Kart and better imo! Seriosuly. The fact it's a live game means itll get better with time etc. So more and more content! Great stuff!… Full Review »

    Nice graphics, Disney/Pixar heroes, but terrible matchmaking. Lvl 7 joins lvl 25+...gangbang like hell. Disbalance of characters, WazowskiNice graphics, Disney/Pixar heroes, but terrible matchmaking. Lvl 7 joins lvl 25+...gangbang like hell. Disbalance of characters, Wazowski very OP atm. Even for 2nd or 3rd place yr points r repeatedely deduced because of few players and game fills up the match with bots. F2P (P2W) style stinks from every corner, like by Gameloft's Asphalt. Millions of various shards for leveling yr heroes, daily and weekly events which you must to complete. You gonna love it for awhile like all F2Ps. And then you reach the "point of stuck". You cant progress at all and you begin to hate it. You have to w8 for new golden pass challlenges or (I bet it will be there in full game) pay for upgrades directly... Plus poor technical state. 5 crashes per 2 hrs on PS5 is nothing rare.… Full Review »
