About Mario Kart World
Mario Kart World is a kart racing game for the Nintendo Switch 2, featuring characters from the Mario franchise.

The game features a Knockout Tour elimination mode where racers compete across connected courses with periodic eliminations at checkpoints, as well as a Free Roam mode for open exploration and collectible-finding.

Half the fun with friends comes from chaos anyway, so the exploring part barely matters when you're four people yelling at a screen.

The open world is impressive but I still miss picking a track straight from a menu...
TurboBard
c'est marrant de dire ça alors que le monde ouvert c'est justement ce qui remplace le menu, non c'est pas pareil que perdre un truc, vous trouvez pas ?
cguillet
Le menu manquait vraiment tant que ça ?

J'ai l'impression que le monde ouvert divise plus qu'il ne convainc, à voir comment le fil tourne en rond là-dessus.

Fun with friends, tiring alone.

Jugué con mi hermano casi 40 horas ese primer mes, entre semana y fin de semana, y siempre acababa riendo aunque perdiera.

No sé por qué siempre se compara la diversión sola con la de grupo, son cosas distintas y punto.

Feels a bit thin once the novelty fades.

Ah sí, la novedad se desgasta rápido, como en cualquier otro juego de mundo abierto que existe

(comme le foot en voiture et le kart) rien à voir mais la comparaison amuse toujours plus qu'elle n'informe.

The framerate holds up fine in most modes but the transitions between free roam and races feel clunky, like two systems stitched together rather than one smooth loop.

Ça me rappelle mes soirées en famille où on se relayait la manette pendant des heures, la caméra qui déraille un peu dans les zones chargées, on riait autant des bugs que des courses en fait.
