After practicing a bit and learning to avoid the various obstacles in each race, you’ll start enjoying the controls. The game features nice physics, and cars aren’t that light and easy to make turns as other kart racers. When it comes to the visual aspect of the game, however, I have to point out that the frame rate is always high and consistent, which helps to maintain a great sensation of speed throughout the entire game.Įven if the artistic aspect wasn’t that amazing, Beach Buggy Racing‘s gameplay and overall amount of content won me over.īeach Buggy Racing‘s driving feels better than I thought it would. The character design isn’t very impressive (most racers are just costumed variations of one type of character) and the soundtrack is very repetitive. They aren’t terrible, but they are very basic.

Initial impressions of Beach Buggy Racing weren’t exactly the greatest, given the game’s visuals and sound. If you’re into this genre, there are quite a handful of reasons why you should actually take a look at this title. It was originally released a few years ago for mobile platforms, followed by the Playstation 4 and the Xbox One, consoles that are much more thirsty for kart racers than any Nintendo console besides the NES.

Don’t you worry, as the game is more fun than my terrible elevator pitch made it sound like. Case in point, but in a slightly less impactful way, Vector Unit’s first title for the Nintendo Switch, Beach Buggy Racing.īeach Buggy Racing, as the name implies, is a racing game.

Case in point, Lego Racers (remember that one? It was great!). Case in point, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. It’s nearly unfair to try to compete with Nintendo’s juggernaut racing franchise by releasing other kart racers to its consoles, but a select few manage to rise above others.

When you think of kart racers, obviously the first thing that comes to your mind is Mario Kart.
