Have you ever thought what it would be like in Mario Kart or Blur if you were playing with airplanes? Well think no more, because Digital Reality made it possible, that game is called Skydrift!
It is not often when we see this kind of titles released for the Xbox Live Arcade and the Playstation Network, and when they do it is good to know they did it right.
Hardcore Gamer: Kalypso has put out a ton of stuff on PC, and now Green Man Gaming has a 24 hour sale on their catalog.
Fans of the Mario Kart series are no doubt excited about the latest installment. But for those wanting more, here's a collection of indie alternatives.
A track editor would have been awesome in MK8, I'd have also settled for procedurally generated tracks that could be saved for future races.
Nice to see some alternatives for other platforms, but I've never played a Kart game that can match the feel of MK!
The nearest I've got is the recent Sonic titles, but they are not quite there (but fun) - and I'd love to see a Mario / Sonic Kart cross-over - if they could do it for the Olympics games, why not MK! As lonmg as it was made by the team responsible for MK8! :)
I know what you mean. MK will always remain the basis for comparison. I did really enjoy Diddy Kong Racing back in the day, though.
Developer Tyson Kubota took to Reddit to both announce, and gauge the demand for a port of his independently developed and free iOS title; Skydrift. Kubota is currently involved with Digital Development and Design at renowned film-distribution company, The Criterion Collection, but also released the self-crafted the recently released title in his spare-time.
I can't even afford to buy the arcade games. They release 1 or 2 a week. At this time of the year will all the top games being released, it is really putting a back log for next summer.
"Have you ever thought what it would be like in Mario Kart or Blur if you were playing with airplanes?"
No, because I've played Diddy Kong Racing.
Can I just be sad for a second and say M$ is missing a great opportunity by not making another Crimson Skies.
I love that game.
