Original Gamer: Joy Ride Turbo Review
Original Gamer: oy Ride Turbo is Microsoft’s latest attempt to break into the kart-racing genre, a la Mario Kart or Crash Team Racing. While the cartoony graphics and casual(ish) gameplay will remind players of these games, the ability to drive ‘real’ cars and the stunt options available attempt to set the game apart from its rivals. Whilst Turbo’s predecessor, Kinect Joy Ride, was a Kinect exclusive (and received criticism for its Kinect controls), Turbo relies solely on a player’s skills with a controller. Does racing your Avatar around cartoony tracks make for a decent alternative to other kart-racing titles, or should you stick with Mario and company?
