Crazy Racing Kart Rider!

A game review on the racing online game: Kart Rider.

OK, to start off, this game is completely amazing. It is not what everyone would say is fun, but it is certainly addictive if you play it in an appropriate manner. Playing it 24/7 may cause dizziness and other computer staring conditions that can be suffered from any other game.

This game has graphics that are basically made for kids... The graphics may be very cartoonish but are almost flawless. They only flaws in the game are that you see who lags. People lagging will usually be seen flying in the air or "teleporting" from place to place. This flaw cannot be reversed nor can it be walled off.

The game play is really fun if you enjoy a quick few minutes of gaming. Each race should only take a maximum time of 3 Minutes if all players contribute well. Not all players have to be playing to actually finish the game. Only one player has to finish it to officially end the game. But, if the game is achieved as so, it is absolutely no fun at all.

This game is absolutely Free to Play, all you pay are Cash Items (Bought with Nexon Cash which is bought with real money) and possibly the download... if you go over the download limit of your internet bandwidth. Always be careful of the download limit, this can happen while downloading anything.

The karts are very unique, except a few are based on some real life cars. Many karts are made up some are event based and I believe that some are actually designed by some players of the game. Each kart has it's on special attribute: Speed, Accuracy and Defence. Then there are some mixed karts.
Speed is fairly obvious and is personally a favourite, going through a long, straight High-Way of a track is easy with one of these, they can easily overtake another kart (so long that you have a better kart version of the Speed Karts or a speed kart in that series of karts). Speed karts are namely named: Cotton; followed by the series that they are in. For example a Burst E2.

Accuracy karts are slightly slower than Speed. They equal up to Speed because of their fantastic accuracy. Drifting and turning would never have being easier with one of these. They can easily help you turn those really hard drifting corners but then again, a pro speed user is most likely to win, all they need is to time when they drift, and when to stop. These karts are namely called: Cotton Sr, favourite by many players.

Solid karts, slowest kart, but with a very high security factor. You being pushed out of the way of your course is almost impossible. Solids aren't favoured much at all, getting pushed off rarely happens in a race. But can be helpful if blockers tend to try and block you. All you have to do is biff them off. These are namely called: Solids. For example: Solid E2
There are more karts in the series, each with more attributes and their own design, there are also special karts which have special abilities to find out more go here.

In Korea, this game is very severe. They hold many tournaments which involve programmers of the game and even local people of Korea.

Overall, I would like to rate this game 8 and a half out of 10. The only thing that drags it down is the slow updates (Updates don't always come out, but when you really want them to come, it normally takes some time) and that the lagging effect of other players.
