Can anyone say 'rip-off'.

User Rating: 2.4 | Cartoon Network Racing DS
By flintheart_glomgold | Review Date:
Everything about this game is direct plagiarism of Mario Kart DS. I am surprised that Nintendo aren't suing for breach of copywrite.

Instead of Mario characters you get Cartoon Network low-renters like Cow and Chicken and Dexter, the track boosts are still there, as are the the track themes (desert, tropical, blah blah), the karts themselves are of the same variety, the power ups come in the form of boxes hovering above the roads and the power-ups are all pretty much the same (including oil slicks and bombs).

What isn't copied is the charm that made Mario Kart DS so much fun. And the technical level of the game is really poor. Graphics are boxy, edges are jagged and the sound seems like a crappy MIDI file from a Sega Master System.

Yuck! Honestly, stay away from this game. It is so cheap and nasty it should come with a warning.
