DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing

DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing is fun and shows that the developers cared about animation fans. However, it limits itself as just another game of the genre that only copies a successful formula, without the necessary potential to stand out.

DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing is still a decent racer overall. Much like the studio that inspired it, it’s not going to make you forget the genre’s king, but there’s fun to be found here if you give it a chance.

Dreamworks All-Star Kart Racing is a better kart racer than you’re probably expecting, but its low production values mean it can’t come close to Nintendo’s genre-defining franchise.

DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing’s intention is clear: to attract the most loyal audience of the animation studio. Unfortunately, its negative points don't invite players to stay for a long season, but the charm that remains makes it perfect to have more than a good time, especially in company.

If you’re hankering for a new kart racing game, DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing will do the job. It’s a solid enough game, offering a good selection of unique tracks and some much-loved characters. There’s plenty of single-player content to keep you busy too, and split screen play is always entertaining if you have a couple of friends to hand. But like any karting game, the on-track action is often too frustrating to be fun, and I’m not getting over the criminally bad voice acting any time soon.
