Then your wheels will screech and you’ll see blue sparks that turn red over a brief second. You jump, keep holding the button and steer into the turn. The game shows you who is on your six in admirable fashion, but I still would like to see behind my kart. There are no alternate camera angles like looking behind you. You have buttons to go forward, go backward, weapon forward, weapon backward and one to jump. In terms of controls, the game feels button heavy even if it only uses five buttons. The wands, the pies, the perfume and so on. Everything in this game was in cartoon show that I would watch as a child. Maybe that’s a testament to how generic Garfield is. The weapons are all great weapons for any kart racer, they’re just found in all kart racers. Sometimes you get lucky and the weapon is doubled or tripled giving you more uses. You can tap the attack button to stop the roulette and end up with whatever it lands on. To get weapons, you drive through giant candy to start the weapon roulette. You can sometimes dodge them if you drive off road, but unless you’re on pavement, you’ll be at a snail’s pace without the proper vehicle. Its bizarre and feels like an annoyance to whomever is in first place. Other times you can drive right through their beams. These three are tough to avoid and it seems like most of the time running into one will halt your progress as they beam you up only to drop you down. The last weapon is a trio of flying saucers as a weapon that come and form a blockade ahead of the pack. Lasagna is a boost of speed, while perfume makes you invincible and drive faster at the same time. A spring can be used to jump gaps to get to higher areas or can be dropped as a trap to halt other drivers. The pie is a standard projectile weapon that can be thrown forward or dropped to be a mine. The diamond can be dropped or thrown, which will turn anyone that touches it into a ticking bomb and will halt nearby racers. A magic wand will exchange places with someone you shoot. They still have full control, they’re just slower. There is a variety of traditional weapons such as pies, homing pies, a magic wand, a pillow, lasagna and so on, but what do they all do? A pillow will make the other racers fall asleep. There is a 150 CC for those brave enough. It feels like the only way to keep a lead is luck. 100 CC is the real challenge of the game, borderline tough. There are three levels of difficulty 50CC is slow, dull and super easy so easy I found myself starting to doze and that’s no embellishment. When you do get into the game, it hits another speed bump because there is no local split screen or online play. Another glitch I’ve come across is after a time trial or grand prix, sometimes the menus fail to appear, which means I’ve had to restart the game. I would say its an issue of forgotten textures, but nothing other than the menus and icons are here, so its a deeper issue with the game. To start, I want to point out that windowed mode has a black screen with only icons, so you’ll need to play in full screen mode. There’s nothing to keep you in the game other than your own drive to unlock everything with coins you find on the tracks. Its missing the glitz-and-glamour of bigger, flashy kart racers. With all the unlockables, route exploration, customization, depth and good weapons, this should be some sort of smash it right? It checks all those boxes so well, but there’s just something missing from it. It has eight playable drivers and you can customize a lot of things that matter when it comes to bonuses and buffs. Sixteen small circuits, each with big roads and generic themes like a farm, an airport, Egyptian desert and western gulch. Race your friends in local mode or online, with up to eight players on 16 iconic circuits from the world of Garfield.Garfield Kart is a kart racing combat game that takes the vanilla mediocre route rather than a thick, fattening lasagna road less traveled.
