![]() Races (and laps) are very short so it won’t take too long, but you will need to do a fair bit before you have a decent amount of upgrades. There weren’t many players when I tried but I did get a couple of games, and it seems like if you have a lot of upgrades then you have a much better chance, so probably isn’t much of a point playing online until you have spent some time in single player. And so it continued, which is a bit of a shame as it never felt that I was racing competitively, just that I had either a worse or better car. I found that I would be struggling on races, apply some upgrades, then be comfortably winning until I wasn’t again, when it was upgrade time. That money is spent on either new cars or upgrades. It’s not that it’s too hard but more that as you race, you earn money. The difficulty however means it isn’t always fair. It explains the handling too – the slidey but slightly weighty feel. It speaks wonders to the fidelity of the game that it looks so good, that it’s hard to tell if it’s supposed to be a real life environment or not. This lets you play (as far as I can tell from videos) from an above view of the play set track, electing a steering wheel or RC remote (answering my questions about whether it’s an RC game!) with floating hands over the track. You can race in bonnet cam or a number of third-person views, which is nice for this sort of game but it clearly isn’t designed for third-person and as such the car doesn’t move too well in this view (it’s a hard one to explain but if you’ve tried a number of racing games in chase cam, you’ll be aware that some work and some don’t).įor those that have VR, Mini Motor Racing X has a VR mode. It can feel like a different track at times – this is so long as you have the overhead view. They’re detailed and sit well as little areas to race around.Ī cool touch which helps handle some repetition is that it rotates the overhead angle each time you play it in a different challenge in the cups. The environments are decent too, from race tracks to haunted towns, to the docks. It was at this point I had to check if it was an RC car game – the top-down cutesy look suggests it might be, bu the environments you race in are nicely decorated and suggest not. The cars handle nicely, although I discovered you don’t really need the brake. Which was a shame as it’s pretty fun.įocusing on the racing then fortunately isn’t a terrible experience. I get there are reasons why, but it adds a lot of repetition to the game which had the effect of me just not bothering to play that mode. Missiles, traps to drop, spanners (aka green shells) all feature and add chaos to the proceedings.Īnnoyingly, after I’d done quite a lot of races in the standard racing mode (there are 36 races in the Beginner cup alone!), trying the X weapons mode meant none of that progress transferred. The other is a weapon-fest, whereby each lap you will collect things akin to the classic Mario Kart archive. You get a number of boosts (of which you can also collect more as you see them on the track) and have to finish as high as possible. To begin with, you get two major options with how to play Mini Motor Racing X. I also didn’t expect such a large amount of game. What I didn’t expect was also a very good racing game. “Well that’s a cute little racing game”, I thought to myself when I saw Mini Motor Racing X being promoted.
