Nov 30, 2017Mantis Burn Racing was an OK racer on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One that became a good racer through the release of DLC. On Switch, the game comes as a complete package and is all the better for it. It feels right at home on the console with both handheld and docked modes providing fantastic racing. With great multiplayer and a wealth of singleplayer content, this is a game that will keep you coming back for a long time to come. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe may well still be the best racing game on the system but Mantis Burn Racing comes a close second and well ahead of any other racers out there.

Nov 30, 2017If you're looking for some more multiplayer racing action then Mantis Burn Racing is an excellent choice, and yet another must-have title for Nintendo's hybrid console.

Nov 24, 2017All in all, if you’re looking for a fun pick-up-and-play game that’s easy to race a round or two and then move on, Mantis Burn Racing might be for you. If you like driving games which offer you the option to tune your machine to the way you like your car to handle, MBR has a promising system to allow you to do just that.

Dec 5, 2017All said Mantis Burn Racing plays brilliantly on the Switch whether in docked or handheld mode. Control is smooth, the drifting is satisfying, and in general it looks great. You can enjoy playing against the AI but it is far better to play with friends locally or online and in general I didn’t have issues finding people to play against since it is cross-platform to boot. If you’re willing to grind through the Career Mode in order to learn the nuances of the controls and unlock everything the game has to offer it does deliver a satisfying payoff, I just wish tastes of it came sooner.

Dec 14, 2017When it comes to performance, there are a few instances of minor slowdown but nothing major like a lot of the other ports. I do wish it looked a bit better in portable mode. A bit more visual polish could really make this shine on the Switch screen. VooFoo Studios has done a great job with this port.

Dec 18, 2017Mantis Burn Racing expands the Nintendo Switch catalog on the racing genre and brings forth a fun and well-made effort, featuring an entertaining driving challenge, with plenty of content to explore and very detailed visuals. It doesn't avoid a certain feeling of repetitiveness but Mantis Burn Racing has what it takes to be a recommended racing game for the Nintendo Switch.

Dec 15, 2017Mantis Burn Racing is an incredibly frustrating game. An overview of the game reveals a lot of promise thanks to its solid visuals, rewarding upgrade system, and interesting career structure. However, once you actually start racing, things begin to fall apart; your first few events will be fun but you’ll quickly realize how the content is spread thin and you have a long way to go before you’ll get to experience something new and fun. In other words, there’s some good stuff buried in Mantis Burn, but getting to it is a real slog, thus making hard to recommend for all but the most hardcore of racing fans desperate to relive the top-down experiences of yesteryear.
