  1. Does an admiral job of actually reproducing the feel of "virtual" go kart racing - perhaps more so than any other kart game before it.
  2. It has some has some life longevity to it - but considering its sharp-curved circuit designs, lack of additional game modes such as 'FreeStyle' or 'Stunt' mode which Babylon really could have taken advantage of, and its expected graphics, it is not a game that I will find myself looking forward to play frequently.
  3. A cool team-play aspect makes up for the lackluster fighting. [May 2003, p.132]
  4. The easy playability, decent graphics and dumb violence are perfect for the young, inexperienced and generally immature gamer. However, the lack of multiple paths, weapon variety and useful shortcuts keep it from satisfying basic kart racing requirements.
