It feels similar to the setup of games in the Need for Speed franchise and it works rather well. Along the way you’ll face standard races as you’d expect, but also other challenges such as Elimination rounds (where every few seconds the last placed driver is eliminated until only one remains), Boost Blitz (a time trial-like event where you have to complete sections of the track before the timer runs out) and even a Shooting Gallery, where your main goal is actually to shoot targets as you drive around to get a high score. The goal is to work your way through multiple series of races, unlocking a new driver to play as when you complete each one. You’ll likely spend the majority of your time in the Career Mode, a place where you play through lots of races earning stars to unlock more events. Both these specialised abilities and the standard items have some utterly bonkers effects you might be used to laying down bananas as a trap but how about a box full of chickens instead – leaving a mess of feathers and an actual, full-sized, squawking chicken smeared across your screen when hit? We’re down for that! There are items scattered around the track in item boxes (exactly like how you might imagine) which cause havoc and destruction at every turn and, on top of this, each individual racer has their own unique power-up which can be used once per race. The game sees six racers take to the track to find out who can come out on top. Releasing a kart-racer on a console that already has the likes of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe spear-heading its software library is an interesting move Mario Kart is a series widely accepted to be as close to perfection as we’re likely to see, so what is left for other titles to offer? Beach Buggy Racing (a title that has previously been released on mobile devices and other consoles) is attempting to prove that there is room for more than just the heavy-hitter in this genre and, for the most part, it succeeds.
