My love of karting games and the beloved Smurfs franchise made me certain that I must check out Microids and Eden Games’ Smurfs Kart when I heard it was coming out.
Kids and adults alike can enjoy karting games. The difference between a good karting game and a passable one is how developers can fully realize the franchise’s DNA. My final thoughts on Smurfs Kart are after some time playing it.
Biggest Takeaways from Smurfs Kart
-
This game looks and feels like the perfect Smurfs racing game from Eden Games.
-
The tracks have many characters but don’t offer enough hazards and innovation.
-
It’s a bit bog-standard with little innovation for karting.
-
Online multiplayer makes Smurfs Kart feel incomplete.
-
Smurf fans may not be satisfied by this karting experience.
Final Score: 6/10
Concerning the Smurfs, Smurfs Kart nails the whole vibe. With its wacky courses and music that makes you feel like you’re the size of a Smurf, this game has a lot of novelty that other karting games can’t match.
My experience with Toy Story Kart was positive from the moment I picked it up until I finished my last race. Due to the scale, which made me feel small, it reminded me of Toy Story Kart.
This game makes you feel like a kid again at moments such as those. Gaming can bring back memories of watching the Smurfs as a kid or tie into something entirely different.
