Garfield Kart. Ah, Garfield Kart. Where do I begin with my beloved Garfield Kart?

Well, Garfield Kart is probably the best game I've ever played (hence my playtime). Everything about it is truly incredible. From the beautifully rendered 3D graphics, to the immersive, fun gameplay, everything about this game adds up to an overall wonderful experience. Also of note is the beautiful music, which required an entire orchestra, which, I must say, was completely worth it. It adds so much to the great experience of Garfield Kart.

Now, on the gameplay. It is truly innovative. The game is played using the arrow keys and various other buttons to drift and use items and whatnot. I know that playing a racing game with the arrow keys may, to some, sound like playing Dark Souls with a keyboard and mouse, but rest assured, once you try it, you'll never be able to go back to the old way of playing racing games. It really adds a lot to the experience, that you couldn't get by using a controller.

Also on the topic gameplay, the characters. Each one has their own quirks and characteristics. Some, like the big G-Man himself, are more all-rounders that can do well in any vehicle or any driving style. Others, like John, are more specialized and require a lot of practice with their specific style to do well. Overall, there is a nice variety that allows so much replayability.

Now, onto the graphics. They're amazing. Each character is beautifully rendered in 3D. I know some people say that graphics don't really matter, but in this game, they really make a difference. I don't think the game would be quite the same if the graphics were worse. Also, oh my god. Those female characters are HOT! Check out the Rule 34 for this game immediately (though, after this review of course).

So, you may be wondering how the game runs. And, I must say, it's runs SO smoothly. Even on my rig, which is pretty cheap, I can get upwards of 200 frames per second. It's just optimized so incredibly well. How they did this, I have no idea, but it's truly amazing.

To wrap it all up, get this game. It has beautiful graphics, fun, innovative gameplay, great music, and it all runs super well. All of that is only five dollars. ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER MADE. And it's only the price of a sandwich from Subway, if you live in 2010. Just get it, dude. Now. Do it. NOW. You won't regret it.
