![]() The story mode for the game is fairly light in terms of plot. On a casual level it can be seen as good since it means that anyone has a chance to win but it can be frustrating if, after all your effort, you get last place because someone else won the magicite lottery. I’ve done the same match with the same character and sometimes been first and other times last usually because the guy next to me hit me with an earthquake (possibly followed by a thunder cloud), I got knocked on my ass and everyone zoomed by. Mario Kart also has this to an extent but here, it just feels a bit too easy here to get screwed over by the RNG. Combining this with tracks being fairly short means that if you’re unlucky and get hit by the wrong item (or several), you can easily lose up to five places in a match if not more. Each item can stun a character for a fairly long time and each has quite a bit of range. However, the items are still randomized meaning a lot of the game is left up to RNG. On one hand, it does make the game more challenging, creating more variables for winning and adding to the madness of the match. This can be a double-edged sword in my opinion. Between all the different offensive items and your own characters’ abilities, it’s just as much about stunning your opponent with attacks as it is racing well. There’s a far greater emphasis on hitting your opponent with spells. This is what separates the game from the most from Mario Kart. Chocobo for example gains an enormous speed and handling boost while Terra shoots missiles at the racers ahead of her. One thing I liked, in particular, is that the Death magicite, this game’s equivalent of the blue and red shell, can actually be avoided if you take your time to do so.Įach character also has their own individual ability that can be charged up as you collect crystals across the map. Aeros creates a tornado, Quake causes the area around your kart to shake. The gameplay is really smooth with no lag or pop-in as far as I could tell.Įach item in the game is called a magicite and involves using different spells from across the Final Fantasy series. The game has the chaotic sense of fun you’ve expected out of a mascot racer, speeding down the track, doing drifts while trying to avoid the multiple stage hazards and attacks your enemies throw at you. During the race, you collide into the series of items (here called magicians) that you can use to hit your opponents and compete to be first around the course in 3 laps. You pick from a wide cast of colorful characters, select a kart and go on the track. I promise I won’t spend the entire review comparing the game to Mario Kart but if you’ve played the mushroom kingdom racer, Chocobo GP plays very similarly. That being said you’re probably going to start finding the menu song a bit annoying after listening to it too much. The music in general, while also lacking in quantity, was also excellent with classic Final Fantasy renditions remade into adrenaline-pumping race tunes, even ‘Melodies of Life’ was remixed to be more fast-paced while still keeping true to the original track. My favorite had to be The Bridge, with its diverging pathways and rocking rendition of the classic ‘Battle on The Big Bridge Theme’. Likewise, while there aren’t a lot of stages, the game has a lot of variety with a few of them calling back to older games in the franchise. Cloud and Squall are due to appear as DLC but it would have been nice to see a few more familiar faces in the game. There are only 4 characters from the main Final Fantasy series: Gilgamesh from V, Terra (in esper form) from VI, and Vivi and Steiner from IX. The rosters consist of the Chocobo series mainstays like Shirma, Camilla, and Clair (Fat Chocobo) as well as several summons, all redesigned into cuter chibi forms. There’s even a custom rules mode to change the race to your liking.įor Final Fantasy fans out there, Chocobo GP has a lot of fanservice from across the series, albeit from certain games more than others.
