In just our first hour with the game, we tumbled upside down simply for driving over a small bump, instantly snapped 180 degrees round after clipping the side of the road, ended up flipping sideways after brushing against a barrier and remaining that way for a good 15 seconds, and had all manner of odd results coming off jumps. This is a game that simply doesnвЂ™t feel like itвЂ™s been tested at these speeds, because thereвЂ™s absolutely no way anyone could have played this for any length of time without noticing massive, game-breaking issues on a regular basis. Play it on 150cc and itвЂ™s outright borked. Step up to 100cc, however, and niggles start to appear. Not a good time, to be clear, just a time that wonвЂ™t have you uttering strings of obscenities that make you seem less вЂњI hate MondaysвЂќ Garfield and more вЂњI donвЂ™t like MondaysвЂќ Bob Geldof. Learn to cope with that, and youвЂ™ll have an issue-free time. Race around at the painfully slow 50cc setting and you shouldnвЂ™t notice too many issues, other than a handling system thatвЂ™s hot garbage, with steering thatвЂ™s nowhere near tight enough to get round many corners and a drift system thatвЂ™s far too tight to be useful in every situation. Which brings us to easily the most pressing issue with Furious Racing: itвЂ™s broken. ThereвЂ™s a chefвЂ™s hat that makes your pie weapons travel faster, a Viking helmet that lets you use several lasagne power-ups in a row, and a cowboy hat that fixes all the gameвЂ™s collision detection and improves its handling significantly, to the extent that it actually feels like a competent game. Indeed, the only unlockables are вЂcomedyвЂ™ spoilers that can be put on the back of your car (hereвЂ™s a spoiler: this isnвЂ™t getting a good score), and special hats that can be applied to your racer for extra bonuses. Well, HarryвЂ™s in there along with the rest of the gang. ItвЂ™s Harry! From Garfield! The thing with the cat! Yes, of course, now you know who I mean. Look, you shut your ignorant mouth, of course you know who Harry is. You get the same eight racers from the Garfield universe, including the famous feline himself, his tragic owner Jon and other such well-loved characters as Odie, um. On paper, Furious Racing is the same game. ThatвЂ™s not so say it was any good, mind you вЂ“ we tore it a new catflap when it was released on the 3DS вЂ“ just that its notoriety came as a result of some sizeable exaggeration. At the risk of an вЂњ OK boomerвЂќ comeback, weвЂ™ve been in this game long enough to know there have been plenty of titles over the years that were far worse than Garfield Kart.

To be clear, it wasnвЂ™t: it was nowhere near it. Have you ever considered the possibility that I might just crash your kart for absolutely no reason? Well, consider it, child, because I might.вЂќ LetвЂ™s go back a step, then.ДЇor those not familiar with it, the original Garfield Kart became somewhat infamous for its low quality, with things stepping up a gear when a prominent YouTuber declared it the worst game ever made. YouвЂ™re getting quite cocky there, sizing up that turn. You could be looking at a turn ahead of you, thinking of how youвЂ™re going to approach it, when the game could ask: вЂњHold on a minute there, Snappy. We should know better, because Garfield Kart: Furious Racing teaches you not to do that. Amazingly, though, it manages to actually be worse than the six-year-old game itвЂ™s based on. Furious Racing is actually a remaster of the original Garfield Kart, in that the tracks have been given a bit of a lick of paint. Despite a description (and a price tag) that would suggest this is a sequel to the infamous Garfield Kart, weвЂ™ve got news for you: itвЂ™s not. The reality, however, is quite another matter entirely. вЂњGarfield, the famous lasagna-loving cat, is back!вЂќ ThatвЂ™s according to the description for Garfield Kart Furious Racing on the Nintendo eShop.
