    Mantis Burn Racing is an incredibly frustrating game. An overview of the game reveals a lot of promise thanks to its solid visuals, rewarding upgrade system, and interesting career structure. However, once you actually start racing, things begin to fall apart; your first few events will be fun but you’ll quickly realize how the content is spread thin and you have a long way to go before you’ll get to experience something new and fun. In other words, there’s some good stuff buried in Mantis Burn, but getting to it is a real slog, thus making hard to recommend for all but the most hardcore of racing fans desperate to relive the top-down experiences of yesteryear.

    Mantis Burn Racing is a solid top-down racer that really just wants more tracks and less repetition to be considered great. As it comes to Nintendo Switch, VooFoo have done a great job with the port, making a handful of sacrifices to hit the 60fps target the vast majority of the time, and preserved local split-screen for which the Switch is so well suited. It’s just a shame that there’s barely a pulse when looking to play online.

It’s smooth, has a good single player career, the cars are diverse enough, the cross-network online multiplayer is great and the local multiplayer playing at opposite sides other the Switch is a great idea.
    I don’t know what’s your problem with this game, but I find it very good. And at that price it’s almost a steal.    … Full Review »

Of course the game is okay - the graphics look good and drifting around is fun for a while. But driving on the same tracks over and over again, with little to no variation is just painfully boring. I played for around 4 hours as well and have to agree with esreverse - I don't see me coming back to this one.… Full Review »
