  • gameplay
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by basic graphics and a mix of mini-games that lack depth and enjoyment, with mechanics that often feel poorly designed, such as a frustrating "battery" system that disrupts racing. While there is a variety of game types and some fast-paced racing elements, the overall experience is marred by janky mechanics and a short career mode, leading to a gameplay experience that feels dull and unrefined. Despite some redeeming qualities like good music and varied maps, many players find the gameplay lacking in engagement and fun.

    • “Fast paced arcade racer with slightly unique mechanics.”
    • “[loads of game modes, they're all online, simple yet deep gameplay].”
    • “Overall the game has, apart from racing, some interesting gameplay so-called 'minigames'.”
    • “Very basic graphics, the driving has some spring mechanic where it wants you to let off the gas every so often, and it's got an emphasis on playing a bunch of different mini games that honestly aren't much fun or well thought out.”
    • “If you have neither, Mad Tracks brings nothing new to the table and is shoddily developed with heaps of jank, terrible design decisions (I'm looking at the stupid friction engine mechanic), minigames that are locked behind a wave of races and events, a short career mode that can be finished in less than three hours, and achievements that have no business being as tough as they are.”
    • “It has its moments, but overall the gameplay feels dull and not very enjoyable to me.”
  • music
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its nostalgic quality and iconic tracks. However, repeated playthroughs can lead to the music becoming grating, especially with some levels featuring altered soundtracks compared to previous versions. Overall, while the music enhances the experience, it may not hold up over time for all players.

    • “As soon as the menu song kicked in, I was thrown back to my childhood.”
    • “Childhood classic, sad that the music on some levels got changed though.”
    • “+ iconic soundtrack”
    • “I managed to tough it out but it soured my last moments with this game and the first 20 seconds of the song it played in that mission.”
    • “The game is fun, honestly it's worse than the original CD version because of the swapped soundtrack for multiple courses and also changed car models, but the game is still fun.”
    • “- the sound and music gets quite annoying over time”
  • story
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is generally considered simple and forgettable, with some missions offering good moments but often requiring repetitive play that can become frustrating. While the music enhances the experience initially, it can quickly become tiresome due to the need to replay missions multiple times for achievements. Overall, the narrative does not leave a lasting impression.

    • “The non-race single-player missions have their good moments, but most of them are pretty simple and forgettable.”
    • “This game also has a weird obsession with making you replay the same mission over and over, as one achievement requires you to win one race 5 times in a row against hard AI, while another wants you to play another race 20.”
    • “+ challenging missions”
    • “I managed to tough it out, but it soured my last moments with this game and the first 20 seconds of the song it played in that mission.”
    • “This game also has a weird obsession with making you replay the same mission over and over, as one achievement requires you to win one race 5 times in a row against hard AI, while another wants you to play another race 20 times.”
    • “Some missions are a bit frustrating.”
  • graphics
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally described as basic and rough, with some reviewers noting that they were acceptable for their time in 2006 but have not aged well. While the cartoonish style prevents them from becoming outdated, many players find the visuals lackluster and unrefined, contributing to an overall underwhelming aesthetic experience.

    • “Ok graphics for its time (2006).”
    • “Music is good, visuals are cartoonish so they didn't age poorly, gameplay is tight, power-ups aren't cheap but if used skillfully can be very impactful, a lot of maps, 4 different cars that vary in stats.”
    • “[Budget visuals, confusing early sections, waiting for expansions.]”
    • “Graphics are rough, difficulty settings are whack, mechanics are not fleshed out.”
    • “Very basic graphics, the driving has some spring mechanic where it wants you to let off the gas every so often, and it's got an emphasis on playing a bunch of different mini games that honestly aren't much fun or well thought out.”
    • “- music is forgettable and graphics look meh”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, often requiring excessive time and effort to progress. The need for additional lives to manage the grinding further compounds the annoyance, making it a significant drawback in the overall experience.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “Grinding is tedious and feels like a never-ending chore.”
    • “The grind is so repetitive that it becomes a test of patience.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report that the settings menu exhibits bugs and instability, leading to a less than smooth user experience.

    • “The settings menu is a little funky and buggy.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the game's humor to be a significant part of its charm, describing it as "fun" and "funneh," which enhances their nostalgic experience. Many believe that adding multiplayer features would amplify the comedic elements and overall enjoyment, suggesting that interactions with other players could lead to even more humorous moments.

    • “This game was part of my childhood; it's so great! The best race card game ever. It's so fun and funny! I love it! :D If this game gets multiplayer, it will get so many sales too. It would be so great with multiplayer if we can play against people and do funny stuff. No cap, give this game multiplayer online and the fun would increase 100,000 times!”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has high system requirements, which has led to disappointment among users who feel that such demands are excessive.

    • “I'm really ashamed that they had to make system requirements so high.”
    • “The game runs poorly even on high-end systems, which is frustrating.”
    • “It's disappointing that optimization seems to have been an afterthought.”
