I think this will be the kart game I'll be playing next gen. Unless nintendo blows my mind with the next mario kart, and not just on the graphics front.
I loved the first one for Wii. I wonder what it will look like on Wii U? Or the 3DS XL? But this game seems a whole lot more action-packed that the first one. With a whole lot more stages. Plus a variety of characters. XD
I enjoyed the Wii one, but the tracks seemed to lose decorations and obstacles when playing with friends. That was a let down for me. I'm sure Transformed will deliver in the multi-player department, though.
Sounds dumb. Danica Patrick, whose NASCAR career has made people forget she was even an Indy Driver, is now in a Sonic game. Blasted corporatism.
Got this off of the eShop on Christmas.
What an epic game..I definitely recommend it
i used to have that demo
This is what is called a next generation game. Kart racing games are outdated - what we need is a racing game on not only on land, but also on sea and sky!
This game is very nice, it feels a bit like Mario Kart 8, just one BIG PROBLEM, the game keeps freezing... so you have to reset your Wii U and start from the scratch, pretty frustrating especially for little children.
