To have the right reputation in games like maxiserie direct the mass audience, Ben 10 lacked a spin-off that would make the karts to the flagship Nintendo: Mario. Never mind that twenty years after the first Mario Kart clone was able to match him no, and that many rivals are finished to the pits before the race began. Ben 10 could interrupt this beloved tradition?

In fact, Ben 10 Galactic Racing would like to differentiate due to the presence of extreme sports-style trick (needed to load some special moves) and the design of the television series: love it or hate it, but it is certainly well-characterized. At least when you first start, then, the game weblog D3 Publisher appears in a different way from usual, with a rather dark color palette and spatial scenarios that separate it slightly from the other titles. After the initial posting, however, meet all of the features seen for years in the genre of racing game with very little or mascot on the single-player mode, and especially dedicated to the challenges with friends locally (there is no support to the network). Choose from 15 characters and thirty vehicles can face competition in the various "cups" in single races or in some variations such as the Arena mode. Doubtless you have already associated the name with the challenges in strengthening and closed paths last fact is what you are choosing this option. Because of course every means can collect various types of weapons dedicated to defense or bonuses that add specific abilities of each character (obviously taken from the TV series). All this, in the normal races on the track, but it is fairly straightforward too chaotic, because the bonuses have a specific gravity too high compared to driving. The basic question is one: it is fitting that we are in space, but to have four-wheel vehicles are too "floating".

The driving model is the main problem of Ben 10 Galactic Racing, also considered the random direction and then the simplicity required to securities of this type. In practice, only the means to be straight and, if this does not weigh much more extensive on the slopes, it becomes a big problem when you need a minimum of extra maneuverability. If you associate it with poor grip of the media (which happily glide over any terrain) we see that the feeling of being on the track is very minimal. Even collisions between vehicles in the race, or between vehicles and background, could be better managed because she feels a certain lack of precision in the contacts which makes it impossible advanced maneuvers or too risky overtaking. For example, traveling on the edge of a suspension bridge is being sure that we will fall below sent back on track, with consequent loss of time and positions. On the positive side, there is the good design of the routes and their variety, guaranteed by environments that follow the TV series. Huge caverns give way to intricate laboratories with many moving parts, pieces and entire circuit move and change their appearance during our journey. All this could have a greater visual impact if they were the specific elements used PlayStation 3 version instead of retrieving the "assets" used on the Wii. Again, as for other adaptations of Ben 10, stand out in low resolution textures and detailed character just after the forced relocation from a less specific hardware (consoles HD). when the characters often speak to each other. Unlikely that the loyal audience to seize the cartoon characters in American between his protagonists, since missing the subtitles (which are present in the introductory stages).

If the technical side comes only with the adequacy of the safety car in race conditions, suspended, that is, with few competitors in this specific category on the PS3, the gameplay can not compete at all with outputs such as exclusive ModNations Racers . Especially lacking a system enhancement and modification that makes the competition more varied and interesting: Gone are the few tournaments in the career (it will take an afternoon to say so) are only accessory options and local multiplayer. Given the extensive material provided by the TV series, was not too much to ask for more substance under the single-player, perhaps with events specific to certain characters or less related to the classical scheme, racing games kart. Instead, the impression (as too often happens in the titles of license) is that Vicious Cycle has applied the concept of the classic Mario Kart clones of the series Ben 10, hoping that the popularity of the cartoon he was hiding major flaws. The end result is like a game for the Wii did turn higher resolution, but that already in terms of gameplay was revised in several areas. We could say that fans of the TV series will appreciate especially playing with friends, but it would be a little journalistic cliches adaptable to this case. Ben 10 Galactic Racing can entertain you for half an hour just a few novices in the field of computer games which ignore the existence of better alternatives. It must be true to the fans to pass on graphical glitches, the driving model and a limited total short-term.
