I was initially excited by the artistic Japanese style and it made me reminiscent of mario kart so I bought this. Music is also a good touch but beyond that boredom starts. First I don't like that every other kart starts off faster than you. There isn't any variety to SFX just engine sounds and the few projectiles. You have the ability to jump but timing has to be perfect or you slow down. When you hit a wall the game moves you automatically to the center. All the carts look the same except the drivers. You do have the option to choose your driver but I didn't notice any difference of actual driving capabilities. If you do choose to buy it here's a HINT: to accelerate hold the gas button as soon as the 2nd to last light turns on! It's really not worth to buy this even for the graphics, go watch some manga instead!
