The game is doing well. Konami is planning to have another sports entertainment mobile app with verizon wireless on their app store. Watch out with access to carmello anthony and wait wait Kobe bryant. Its big time sports entertainment- konami style. Should be available end of sept or early oct via Verizon.

Release the madness. I just got a copy and it will go live in the US on Sept 3. for $8. The game is terrible and have to agree with bullfrog. Buy crash bandicoot nitro. This game has caused my iphone to crash 2 times since i tried to play. Now, terrible programing and surprised it passed the submission process. Better luck next time konami

Don't be stupid. This is a Mario Kart rip-off. It was released on the GBA by Konami in 2001 and was the first Kart game for this system. This is just a pimped up version.

Frame rate choppy
Front end title music -seriously annoying
track design – ok
race tension – lacking
Race power ups -needs work
I am seriously disappointed with this purchase.. get Real Racing or Need for Speed if you want a premium price racer.

Looks good to me, but the price is a bit steep at $7.99. I think I will wait for the eventual price drop before I buy it. Perhaps by then there will be updates that improve the game?

I bought this. Meh. It's ok. Geez I just wish they'd just update Crash with a muliplayer option though instead. CTR still has the best handling controls of all the kart racers.

I think a comparison to Crash Kart would have been more meaningful. As is we have another TouchArcade review telling us that a game is "actually surprisingly fun" which doesn't mean anything. I will wait how the customer reviews pan out before buying Krazy Kart.

Frame-rate seemed okay on my iPhone 3G ..I'm glad I know the music came from an old title, coz it sounded horrible to me through headphones: mono, and just annoying. Some of the in-game music was better, but the overall sound-design just put me off. Controls don't feel right: tilt controls are too sensitive (I'm constantly oversteering) and I want to move the touch controls (why can't I steer with my *right* hand?) Track design isn't fun either ..disorienting and very 90degree/45degree design. I'd like some curves please. Also those water traps and mole-holes just ruin the game: I still ended up in the water after turning in before the corner just coz of those stupid ramps.

So yeah, this is a Mario Kart rip-off ..but *old* mario-kart, before the tracks became curved, 3d, and much more fun. I played one grand-prix series, tried some trials (my god the bomb-mode is boring), deleted the game. ..Total waste of 8 bucks for me.
