I think there are several reasons I can’t give Mario Kart Tour a good review. The first being the controls make it so unenjoyable to race anyone, and there are no consequences for getting it wrong (invisible walls to stop you falling off). The second being the predatory practices and the pay to win features are locked behind gacha. The final reason being they released the game unfinished as the “Multiplayer” section does not work.
Mario Kart Tour is a long-awaited adaptation of the franchise for Smartphones, and it does not disappoint as such. The game perhaps can’t compare to some of its predecessors on consoles, but viewed as a mobile game, it is worth the high scores awarded. The visuals are decent, the gameplay is faithful to the source, and the multiplayer kart racing with Mario characters is definitely going to make millions have fun this winter.
Mario Kart Tour isn’t perfect, but it is Nintendo’s best offering on mobile yet, and one that manages to completely avoid pay to win in the freemium space. That’s pretty commendable stuff.
