Any of you tried Hello Kitty Kruisers? It's an easy Kart Racer that looks similar to Diddy Kong Racing, where you can choose from 10 different Sanrio characters (some of which are hidden), and several different vehicle models. Each character has three different outfits. The power-ups serve little use and each can only be fired in one direction. For Mario Kart Wii players, the drifting and power-up buttons are basically swapped with each other.
Have a good time laughing at the A.I. when they get stuck. It's so bad that you can even lap the computer. There were a few occasions where I finished an individual race in 2nd place. The only thing that was remotely challenging and required some strategy was some of the missions in Adventure Mode, where there are 4 different types of objectives that must be achieved within a time limit: Time Trials, racing through all rainbow gates, collecting cupcakes, and collecting apples (for every lap you pass, the time limit extends). In addition, the missions are assigned to certain characters. The game doesn't alert you about what content you've unlocked.
That game could have used some voice acting so we would know what our favorite Sanrio characters sound like, or incorporated a difficulty setting. The characters don't seem to possess unique attributes to make them stand out from each other. I was quite looking forward to this game, so I could have my cheap Kart Racing fix on the Wii U. I've played many other Kart Racing games like Lego Racers 1&2, Nicktoons Racing and M&M's Kart Racing.
