Better than most Mario Kart games, on par with Double Dash.
Why is the Yogscast here though

This game is very good. I would say it is better than the first one...But not by much.

The transformation mechanic is a cool idea and I love how most of these tracks are super dynamic, with different water and aerial sections, and some of these actually change completely by the third lap. However, there are a few minor things that make this game a bit of a step back from the first one.

- The commentator is not nearly as involved in the races and pretty much lacks any of the personality from the one in the first game
- The all star moves are all pretty generic and look almost the same
- You can no longer unlock different music tracks for each stage
- All star moves are still kind of a problem since you can save your all star move pretty much all race and use it to win for free right at the end.

I have also noticed that getting hit by anything in this game is way too common. It almost feels like there is barely any cooldown right after you get hit by an item, so getting hit by one means you are probably going to get comboed and left behind by like half of the racers.

I have also noticed that whenever I get pushed by other racers, my car essentially starts flying in one direction at high speed and I end up crashing or falling off. I'm not sure if these were also problems in the first game since I haven't played it in a long time.

With that said, I would still recommend this game. Whether or not it is better than Mario Kart is debatable, I personally prefer the higher difficulty and skill ceiling.

Plus you can play as Team Fortress 2. Why do they sound like that doe?
