It’s no exaggeration to say that polishing off all the career events, tournaments and trophies will take months. V ector have gone to considerable lengths to ensure long-term options for both single-player and multiplayer pursuits, so whilst it loses points for its underwhelming visuals and no-frills game engine, BBR does represent excellent value for money. It’s a little bit bargain basement in the wake of Mario Kart 8 and Cars 3, but it does actually offer a more significant one-player c ampaign than either of the above, and is likely one of the toughest on the market. The sheer lack of speed proves a real hindrance, as the karts are sometimes unable to make jumps or shortcuts.īeach Buggy Racing offers a robust challenge, and whilst it can prove frustrating and punishing at times, learning the tracks and the nature of the power-ups does eventually reap its rewards. The 50hp class also draws attention to the game’s sluggish handling and hyper-springy physics. The player is constantly vulnerable to attack from the aggressive A.I., and defending a lead can be a genuine challenge as the gaps between power-ups (and much-needed defences such as shields) is far more protracted than in later speed disciplines, making things surprisingly tricky early-doors. You do have to persevere a little though BBR delivers a decidedly tepid opening few plays, with the slowest of the four speed classes making for an underwhelming experience, at least initially. Vector Unit’s Beach Buggy Racing may not look a million dollars (it was, after all, based on a mobile game), but it’s a solid racer with heart and personality.
competitors, it’s little wonder that kart racers have enjoyed a recent renaissance. With eighth-gen technology able finally to provide a sturdy four-player split-screen experience with full fields of A.I. Since time immemorial (well, 1992 anyway), racing games have sought to mine the source of Super Mario Kart ’s social gaming magic.
