    For those that are complaining that this isn't a complete Mario Kart ripoff, Codemasters wanted to release a family-type racing game, similar to that of Mario Kart. They wanted to stick to F1 style handling, however, so those that complain that they can't drift around corners should probably look into how F1 works (I'll give you a hint: brake into corners, accelerate out).

While the handling far less realistic than it is in Codemaster's F1 series, it still feels similar to the style, but a lot more forgiving, and is designed to appeal to a different type of audience. The maps are very colourful, and the game is quite fluid/polished as typical of most Codemasters games. If you're looking for a mario kart clone, you're looking in the wrong place. Codemasters definitely could have done a better job with customization and better items (instead of 3/4 of abilities involving differently coloured bubbles). While I think comparing it to Mario Kart is a bit unfair, both can be enjoyed by the same person for different reasons. I give it a 7 because I really enjoyed it, but I felt Codemasters could have done a lot better in terms of items and customization.… Expand

    Or the cruise ship Mario goes around

    My new reader of my reading test (I swear by my neighbor's hand, accidentally) is again the product of a younger age, namely the F1 Race Stars released in 2013 under Codemasters' prying. I will not tell you a big secret, this gay is the bigger brother, the F1-series and the piercing plumber Mariokart's stepmother. As the license manages the code master, so I'm not surprised if I betray that season instead of 11 teams and 22 riders in the game. We can chase the usual cartoon-depicted pilots and the altered (but well-recognizable) version of their machines on 11 tracks. For each track to try to drop the characteristics of a particular country, "we have traversed the features of the skilful programmers and graphic artists, like the Italian Grand Prix, we can find the first post after the start, as in reality, Abu Dhabi is the typical Ferrari coaster part of the imaginative asphalt strip).Each team / pilot has some "bonus feature", for example. if you choose a member of the Mercedes duo, you have one type of pick-up power-upl triple amount, Vettel is moving faster than windmills, and so on ... Yes, yes, the game is similar to the " weapons ". Graphics are color, jerky, directional, and play in a variety of competitions in your career. These can be nomal races without "tricks" or bets, as well
    trophy chase triplet: here we need to gather as much as possible from the pots on the track, if we collide, "thrill" the trophies
    refuel racket: we can compete with our gasoline volume by "filling" our tank through the imitated gas station symbols
    elimination: this does not really depend on me for explanation
    eagle-eye: put it among the squirrels, but I did not really find a difference between the previous mini-game mode (only that, only the bubble-compelling power-ups can be attacked against the rivals
    slalom story: the point here is to move through the square marked with an asterisk. When one reaches the expected boundary, the race is over.
    sector snatch: each of my game modes is my favorite. Like the "big ones", the given verse course is also divided into sectors. The one who is the fastest, gets a point with the most points at the end of the race, the winner, the Evident. If you toss the rival's time in that sector, you'll dump him.mirrored: the competition takes place on the reverse lines of the given tracks
    quick-fire round: In this tournament we will be taking part in 8 races of different types of races. The whole bolt is that we have to be one of the best in the circle.
    I would not even proliferate the word or the letters, we can get through a couple of afternoon with my carriagem. Multiplayer and split screen games with a circle of friends can be sitting in one of the living rooms, the weaker nerves do so better because .... Come on. .. Machine opponents are deceptive, and are ultra-aggressive. You can be sure that you are driving torridly at the race, do not worry mirrored: the competition takes place on the reverse lines of the given tracks

    Simply put, F1 Race Stars is the kart racing equivalent of a self-help seminar, or of a powerpoint on learning real estate sales. Like those sorts of intellectual death marches, it frequently made me yawn while playing and the whole thing has a painful sense of inevitability to it-which at least draws a further comparison with the sport on which it places primary focus.

    Sonic & All-Stars Racing is easily the better game. [Issue#93, p.80]
