    Mantis Burn Racing expands the Nintendo Switch catalog on the racing genre and brings forth a fun and well-made effort, featuring an entertaining driving challenge, with plenty of content to explore and very detailed visuals. It doesn't avoid a certain feeling of repetitiveness but Mantis Burn Racing has what it takes to be a recommended racing game for the Nintendo Switch.

    Mantis Burn Racing delivers on what it sets out to do: It's a fun, satisfying racing game with plenty of multiplayer options to keep your interest. The circuits have their own characteristics and the different race modes and classes of vehicle keep the game changing just enough to keep you coming back for more. It's top-down racing at its best and being on the Nintendo Switch fits the game like a driving glove.

    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 »
