In this review by the folks at Gameranx, we delve into the world of Mario Kart World, a game that dares to shake up the beloved series with an open-world twist. With 30 tracks to explore and new gameplay mechanics like the intriguing Noctur mode, this installment offers a fresh take on the classic kart racing experience. The online play is top-notch, the split-screen multiplayer is buttery smooth, and the overall design is visually impressive. However, the elephant in the room is the hefty $80 price tag, sparking debates about the game's value in today's gaming landscape.
Despite the game's solid mechanics and engaging modes such as knockout tour and time trials, the reworked Grand Prix format has been a point of contention among players. The addition of new gameplay elements like rail grinding and wall riding adds a layer of complexity, drawing comparisons to the adrenaline-fueled action of Tony Hawk games. Unlocking costumes and vehicles is a straightforward process, with rewards earned through gameplay, but the lack of incentives in the open-world free roam mode leaves something to be desired.
While Mario Kart World retains familiar power-ups and introduces minor new ones like the coin shell, the changes in the traditional Grand Prix structure have left some fans divided. The game's impressive design and seamless online experience make it a worthy addition to the Mario Kart series, but the steep price tag may give players pause. Ultimately, whether Mario Kart World is worth the investment boils down to personal preference and how much value you place on the innovative gameplay features it brings to the table.
