Does anyone else enjoy getting their revenge on characters that attack you during a race? It happens every time. I'm just minding my own business when all of a sudden, Coco or N. Gin or whoever decides to be a jerk and hits me with a missile. It's frustrating. Whenever I get back to whoever attacked me, I always make sure that they get what they deserve, and that's payback. I also make sure my cart is juiced up with 10 wumpa fruit.
My tactics for revenge include: using the mask to make sure the opponent doesn't go anywhere during the mask's stay, throwing a bowling bomb or missile just before the opponent makes a jump over a pit (making sure they reset), and building up enough speed to bounce of the opponent and squishing them. Sometimes I feel like being a super jerk and getting revenge by making sure the opponent gets lapped.
So much fun to get revenge.

I never really thought much about getting revenge against CPU racers because no matter what difficulty I played on, I was always able to smoke them every time, lol. If one got a lucky hit on me, I'd simply start overtaking the whole pack and kicking all of their butts along the way.

I guess I'm just different. I always choose the 7 lap races, so most of the time, I have time to get payback.
And I'll tell you this. I've had a few instances where I was leading on the last lap getting ready to take the checkered flag when all of a sudden, I get attacked and I lose the race because of it. This always angers me, so I retry and make sure the attacker gets lapped in the next race. >

Also, I'll even attack any character on the track who steals a weapon crate or a wumpa crate from me.

It's a lot worse in Nitro Kart, where the opponents use so-called "rubber band AI", where they remain right behind you during the races, always ready to swoop in and steal your win. And it's even worse in Naught Dog's other Kart Racing game, Jak X.

Ugh Nitro Kart. Almost missed an opportunity to win a race with CNK today du to getting past everyone, in the lead for 15 seconds coming to the finish line and BAAMM a f****** rocket. Only won with some clever boosting and level hazards.

I do because I can.....and because I'm bored.

Nitro Kart does have some great tracks, I just wish it played more like CTR.
