This game will grow on you and it is a great first entry to a hopefully great series
The Bad:
There are little tweaks that could have made the game better in general. Like building your items during a race is not a possibility. It would have been nice to see the carts having some minor differences in handling and speed. The AI can be very punishing or very easy on the same level which can make it hard for some gamers to enjoy completely as it can be punishing some times.
The Good:
The multiplayer is easy to use and enjoy. The menu's aren't very hard to navigate. Costumizing tracks on however you want them to be. A lot of tracks to choose from. There is a lot of ways to costumize your cart and character. The gameplay itself with the light humor of story is easy to enjoy and just let it unfold. The gameplay is very good, making it easy to enter the game, and the tutorial ensures you know what you will do after just a few minutes. It's an easy game to pick up and just play the heck out of it. It gives you good value if you play through the story and also try the multiplayer
