The Smurfs Kart

PC

Mario Kart fans have been waiting for a new spin-off for a long time, but so far in vain, so it's even nicer that more and more kart games are appearing. In my review, I would like to tell you how the latest game from developer Eden Games and publisher Microids, who were also responsible for Garfield Kart, plays.

 

Maps and characters

A total of 12 tracks from the Smurfs universe await you in The Smurfs Kart. The tracks are beautifully detailed and colorfully designed, the different tracks such as the village or Gargamel's house provide plenty of variety. There are 12 Smurfs available as characters, unfortunately neither Gargamel nor Azrael became a playable character, but you can look forward to Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Hefty, Jokey, Sturmi, Clumsy, Smurfflower, Wind-up Smurf, Cook Smurf, Farmi and Astro Smurf. Each Smurf has its own cart and a very handy special item.

Game modes and multiplayer

The performance was very stable in my test, although we only get a maximum of 30 FPS on the Switch, but it is smooth and clean. The graphics turned out surprisingly well and still look nice on the TV. On the PlayStation 5, the game runs smoothly at 60 FPS, but it looks a bit better on the Switch because you can see the details better and the colors look much better. The tracks, the characters, the karts and items have been designed cutely. You can tell that a lot of love was put into this. The soundtrack is very successful and creates a good atmosphere and fun while driving.

Summary

The Smurfs Kart is a good and really fun alternative to Mario Kart and Co. Unfortunately, the game lacks content that justifies the price of just under 50€, because with only three game modes, three Grand Prix cups and a local multiplayer, the game is quickly through and offers little long-term motivation. The 12 tracks as well as 12 Smurf characters are detailed and nicely designed, but even here there could have been more, at least Gargamel and Azrael could have been added. The gameplay is very similar to Mario Kart and it runs smoothly on the Nintendo Switch, PC and PlayStation 5. I would definitely recommend the game, especially if you are a Smurfs fan and also love kart games. However, I would wait for a sale because I think the full price is too high for what you get, otherwise The Smurfs Kart is a wonderful game for the whole family that is a lot of fun.
