The Kart racing game genre has been around for several years, but for one reason or another it has become the "thing" to do this year.
The Kart game used to be a Nintendo thing, but with the critical and consumer success of Sony's own Crash Team Racing last year, the Playstation is the new home for Go Kart racing.
Disney and Eidos have teamed up to bring you the latest Playstation Kart Racer titled Magical Racing Tour. This game takes players on a go kart race through Walt Disney World playing as Chip, Dale, or an unrecognizable Disney character.
Okay, I know what your thinking. You've seen the "very special" episode of Full House where they went to Disney World and it made you sick, so you see no need to play a commercial for the greatest place on earth.
Magical Racing Tour is much better than that. This games quality puts most adult racing games to shame. Excellent graphics. This game is high resolution with a led foot. Each track is based on a different Disney World attraction, complete with fun filled Disney music.
The Kart racing game has seen its ups (Crash Team Racing) and its downs (South Park Rally). Magical Racing Tour Is definitely a positive.
