Drivers are not attached to vehicles so you can mix and match as you see fit. There is also a deep progression system for both cars and drivers. Again, there is simply too much to cover and I don’t want to spoil the surprises ahead. You can launch flame attacks or fire an earthquake beam that rips a crack down the track or temporarily suspend gravity so cars float off the track. Additionally, each of the 40+ cars and trucks have their own special ability like nitrous that leaves a flaming trail behind you to damage other cars, or one girl who can fire a batch of furry monsters that attack and start to eat the other cars. There are over 40 power-ups and even talking about them here seem like a spoiler since they are so much fun to discover and use within the context of the game. You can collect up to two items at a time and use them as needed weapons can be fired forward to behind you while armor absorbs incoming attacks and the trampoline bounces the attack back at the attacker. If you’ve played Mario Kart or any other similar game you’ll know exactly what to expect. You face off against seven opponents and battle your way to a top-3 finish by collecting and unleashing a massive arsenal of weapons and defensive gadgets. The game plays pretty much like every other kart racer out there. The sheer imagination and design detail of these levels is mind-blowing with pirates and dragons, giant crabs, aliens and more.

You’ll earn gold stars based on your finishing position (top 3 only) and these stars will unlock other paths to collectible power-ups and new zones with all new themes and tracks like the beach, the docks, a murky swamp, Egyptian pyramids and even a jungle with dinosaurs. In this map you will move along various paths dotted with race events such as racing, time trials, drifting, and some other non-conventional variations. There is so much to do in Beach Buggy Racing 2: Island Adventure, but most gamers will likely head straight for the Adventure experience that presents you with a stunningly detailed and massive map that comes alive with subtle animations and charming icons.

It only takes a few races to fall in love with this gorgeous racing game loaded with more content than the entire Mario Kart franchise, complete with multiple racing modes including a lengthy Adventure mode that acts as a sampler platter for the huge roster of drivers, large garage of cars, and dozens of insanely detailed and beautiful tropical tracks. If I were to ask you what the best kart racing game of all-time might be Beach Buggy Racing 2: Island Adventure would likely not be the first choice of most gamers…unless they had actually played it.
