Chocobo GP

It’s hard to stay mad at Chocobo GP, though, even when you’re hit with what feels like an endless barrage of magic. The game’s just too bright and cheerful. Obviously, your mileage is going to depend on whether you’re a fan of Chocobo. Not just Final Fantasy, but also this specific series of cute mascot characters. If you are, though, you couldn’t ask for a more loving treatment. The expansive roster, the adorable presentation, and the quality kart racing mechanics will combine to give you something that you just might prefer over Mario Kart. The latter might be a bigger and tighter…

While it can be complete chaos most of the time, Chocobo GP is still a fun and charming kart racer at its heart. There’s enough charm here to combat the frustration and bland tracks, and the multiple modes will keep you interested.

Chocobo GP is built for fun but needs time and some more attention before it can really take the pole position.

Chocobo GP feels like a game that wants to be Mario Kart with Final Fantasy, but it simply doesn’t have the creativity or mechanical chops to back it up. There are certainly worse racers out there, but unless you’re the type of Final Fantasy fan who’s really into games like Theatrhythm or Dissidia that celebrate the franchise at the expense of quality gaming, you’re not going to get a whole lot out of Chocobo GP.

While the racing itself is solid enough, limitations on multiplayer and strange monetization gimmicks hold this cart racer back.

A serviceable kart-racing return from Chocobo and the gang that is dragged down by miserable paid season passes, a troublesome grind, and numerous in-game currencies.

Kart racers aren't as popular as they were at the turn of the millennium but this feathered fellow is back in the super-cute Chocobo GP.

There’s a good game in Chocobo GP somewhere, hidden between the balancing problems and microtransactions. Hopefully one day it’ll be able to emerge, free of the troubles that are bringing it down. Until then though, it’s hard to recommend. If you don’t mind forking out for the game and then a Battle Pass or two down the road you might get some enjoyment out of it, but you’ll have to be committed to the grind, and fairly patient with the gameplay. Perhaps give it a try first – a free Lite version is available so you can at least get a taste of the action without spending any money.

It’s really rather difficult to be a kart-racing game in 2022. It’s especially hard to be a kart-racing game on a Nintendo platform, where the greatest of t

A perfunctory kart racing spin-off that has a few unique charms but falls well short of its far superior competition.
