For those of you familiar with Mario Kart in any fashion, you can pretty much stop reading this review, because Shrek Kart is almost entirely built in that style of game. It’s certainly not as deep as a fully developed console game, but it’s got the same kind of enjoyable characteristics as that style of game.
It may not look like it, but Apple's iPad is a speed demon in disguise. To unlock its potential, you'll need to download the best racers for the platform, transforming the innocent looking tablet into a high end muscle machine that can go from zero to 60 in seconds.

There have been all kinds of cartoon kart racers to hit the iPhone since the dawn of the App Store. Many of these apps are ports of old console games or an attempt to create an experience originally made popular by Mario Kart. Shrek Kart originally came out for the iPhone and was a mild success though it had many bugs and arguably some annoyingly awkward gameplay.
TA writes: "Perhaps the most significant thing about the iPad is that it's a "large"-screen, multitouch platform. And, while that's certainly so, it's also a "large"-form factor, accelerometer-enabled platform - though I've not seen that detail run up the flagpole nearly as often. Noting that, you know what feels more like a steering wheel than an iPhone? An iPad! And iPad gamers with any sense, who grabbed Firemint's Real Racing HD [App Store] on iPad day one, have been enjoying this fact in a high-speed, realistic racing setting for some time now."
