Garfield Kart

Garfield Kart is a joke-racing game that survives on the idea of putting Garfield and the comic strip cast into a karting template. By our assessment, its only real promise is the familiar arcade drift, item throws, and short, messy races that make this kind of licensed game readable at a glance. The problem is that the formula has been done everywhere, and the Garfield skin does not change the underlying feel very much. In practice it is the sort of racer people open for the name first and the driving second, with more interest as a curiosity than as a serious kart contender. It sits well below the established giants of the genre, and the charm is mostly in the familiar characters sitting inside a very standard kart shell.
