cimerians Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Has anyone tried this? It's pretty cheap at 5 bucks but it has positive reviews...or is it just some My Little Pony gag? https://store.steampowered.com/app/362930/Garfield_Kart/ Edited November 30, 2018 by cimerians 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 i have not- but i went through some of the recent reviews. :/ it's about what id expect from the gaming community at-large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeeperofLindblum Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Yeah I looked at this as well out of curiosity. It doesn't look bad from the outside, but it's impossible to take any of the reviews seriously.. What happened to attempting legitimate reviews? I'm not saying develop a system or anything but a dang "Pros and Cons" list at least. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 "Partial controller support" WTF? Either it works or it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chicgamer Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) I bought it on sale for a dollar a while back. I'm not sure why it says it only has partial controller support, as I don't recall any issues using my Xbox 360 controller with it. I don't think it can compete with Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed or Mario Kart 8, but it's an okay kart racer.

Reaperman Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) I think generally "partial controller support" means that there are times, for example some menus, where a more traditional control method is required.

Gamemoose Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Bah...I want my "Bloom County" kart racer.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Bah...I want my "Bloom County" kart racer.... That would be a system seller for me. Even though it would be guaranteed to suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+x=usr(1536) Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 That would be a system seller for me. Even though it would be guaranteed to suck. Maybe, but if they could work in a decent adaptation of the Cutter John as Lawn Chair Larry story arc, that could be well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing Lazers Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Only 8 characters? Where's Binky, Lyman, Irma, the US Acres, Pooky, etc? DLC, maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Ok..I figured it was just a regular kart racer. I agree legit reviews are pretty rare as one can expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Only 8 characters? Where's Binky, Lyman, Irma, the US Acres, Pooky, etc? DLC, maybe? Aesthetically, I like the look of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chicgamer Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) I recorded some gameplay. No comments on how much I suck at this game! I think there's a whole drift/boost mechanic I didn't know how to use. Edit: I didn't realize my mic was picking up while playing this. I'll record a new version and upload. Ugh.

+chicgamer Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Okay, here is a new gameplay video. I figured out the drift/boost mechanic ... yet I still lost every race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godslabrat Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Looks like Mario Kart but with Garfield... Would be awesome if that were true. I doubt it's polished as much as mario Kart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chicgamer Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 It's not as polished. I'm pretty sure it's a mobile port, though there don't appear to be microtransactions (I just checked, since you spend coins to unlock new hats, cars, etc, but I don't think you can buy coins with real money—you have to earn them). As for the partial controller support mentioned earlier, the menus have to be navigated using your mouse, but you can use the controller during each race. I tried playing the game again on 50 cc, and I did much, much better. On 150 cc, all of the other karts are faster than your base kart, so it's hard to win (or not to come in last, for some of us). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
