Chocobo Racing
Kart racing game aimed primarily at kids. It is a spin-off from the highly successful Final Fantasy series. It employs colorful, cartoon-style graphics. There are eight tracks and the same number of drivers (characters familiar form the Final Fantasy games) to choose from. There are a couple of additional tracks and characters to be earned. The game offers several play modes; Grand Prix, Story mode, Time Attack and Relay. There is also a two-player Versus mode. In Grand Prix mode you race over four courses for a cumulative result. Story Mode provides an unfolding story between races. Time Attack is a time trial. Relay, as the name suggests, is a relay race. A notable feature of the game is its innovative special ability and power-up system. Before each race you select a special ability. These include periods of invulnerability (Black Magician), boosts of speed (Dash) and the ability to fly over obstacles (Flap). In addition, weapons, such as missiles, can be saved and accumulated for a more powerful effect.
The game employs a simple, arcade-style control system. The game's graphics, mixing 2D and 3D elements, are adequate. There are good cutscenes interspersing the races. A range of fun sound effects and cutesy music are incorporated into the game.
