A great improvement from the first. Both visual and game-play wise. This is a huge step up from the original. People probably will buy this game just to put hundreds of hours in the game, so they can brag about their high amount of hours put into Garfield Kart. These people have probably never even actually touched this truly refined masterfully crafted video-game. These are the types of worthless bastards I look down upon. These same exact people probably claim to be fans of Garfield Kart. The true fans of Garfield Kart are the ones who actually PLAY Garfield Kart, they master the game-play, memorize each map along with the AI patterns to each character. They strip the game down to it's bare bones. In an attempt to try and understand, this underrated piece of art as much as they can. If you're still wanting to buy this game just to let it ramp up some hours for your account. Don't buy it. This game has a lot to offer, and the price is fantastic for the amount of quality you'll be receiving. This could've been a $60 game, but no, only $15. How could you complain about that? In conclusion, this game has a lot to offer, and if you don't intend on actually playing it. You must be a very very sad individual.
