Youve never seen a Sunday Grand Prix like those featured in F1 Race Stars…
I have to say, Im not entirely sure where this came from.
Its an odd mash-up, and its very existence is puzzling.
But, can this bizarre creation tackle the likes ofMario Kartand SegasSonic & All Stars Racing?
Powerless
The general setup of races is as youd expect.
In fact, its the major thing, in my opinion, that drags the title down somewhat.
Lacking such a traditional and essential feature for any kart racer is simply unforgivable.
This is further suggested thanks to the blue chevron boost zones adorning many of the tougher corners.
Id much prefer a traditional drift system, thank you very much.
In some ways, it does, and in others, its simply re-skins karting tropes.
Some other power ups are a little odd, though.
Others are simply cheap, like the teleport that instantly jumps a racer ahead a few spaces.
Pit in
One feature that does work well is the damage system.
Imitating the real sports need to visit the pits, the game has a simple damage system.
This will repair your car, allowing you to hit full speed again.
However, these pit lanes do miss a trick.
Theme park
Perhaps one of the best elements of the game is the track design.
In the endF1 Race Starsis a pretty mixed bag.
I did find the game surprisingly enjoyable, more so that I first expected.
After prolonged play, however, the problems soon manifest.
