But I will hold my criticism until I try it for myself. I still got Mario Run on my phone. Bought the full game the day one. Best decision ever. But I'm afraid it's not gonna be the same with Mario Kart Tour. Considering the amount of IAP and whatnot. I'm really curious how bad it actually is.

I think with Apple Arcade they’ll be other games with monthly subscriptions as well.

Honki Well-Known Member Nov 6, 2011 61 0 6 #8 Honki, Sep 25, 2019 Holy moly, this is disgusting. The store looks like you need an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of. Gameplay looks and feels ok, but the manual drift mode feels "floaty" and imprecise. I was really looking forward to this, because I'm a huge BigN fan, but Dr. Mario and now this are a huge turn off for me. Capronissimo71 Well-Known Member Sep 5, 2011 1,305 137 63 Male Italy #9 Capronissimo71, Sep 25, 2019 In my personal opinion i find the game quite good. Sure, the controls could be better and the monetization system is so so but it is what i expected from a Mario Kart game on iPhone.

Nintendo seems to think on iOS it has to be one hand gaming all the time which it doesnt. Really was hoping it was like the Mario game with one IAP to unlock it. sivad Well-Known Member Mar 28, 2013 641 1 16 #11 sivad, Sep 25, 2019 I’m quite certain that Nintendo will be just fine without everyone’s whining about IAP... not sure if anyone has noticed but premium games on iOS just don’t make sustainable money. Game is fun, it does what it is intended. Don’t like IAP, don’t buy. Go get a switch and buy MARIO Kart on it for 60 bucks. Charles Elwood Gay III likes this. Son of Anarchy Well-Known Member Oct 5, 2015 717 130 43 Male Shadow Runner Australia #12 Son of Anarchy, Sep 25, 2019 Everybody needs to stop with these subscriptions. It’s starting to take over and it is not ok. It never was ok and nor will it ever be ok. Endlessly paying for something that you will never own? That’s a terrible idea. Premium developers and gamers will both end up suffering horribly in the long run. When I first started with Apple, I treated all the money I was spending over the years on Apps and iDevices as an investment. These days, trying to keep ahold of my Apple ‘investment’ is like water running through fingers. This subscription method of payment is only going to make things so much worse. I apologise for my rant but someone had to say it didn’t they? I can’t be the only one who thinks this way. A premium game for a premium dollar, that’s how the AppStore should’ve started. Instead we now have to lie in the uncomfortable bed we made. Ijipop, decript, maikelg and 4 others like this.

Chumbake Well-Known Member Dec 9, 2008 795 1 16 Central Coast of California #16 Chumbake, Sep 25, 2019 The controls are going to take some getting used to. The drift option is what I want, but then you can’t touch the iPhone without doing a drift. Am I missing something? Even if you tap and hold behind the kart, you will start to drift. Wish I could turn normally then tap with second finger or lift and tap for drift or something. Anyone else getting the hang of the one finger controls?!

The feel of Mario Kart is here, and the tracks are a good length. Drift mode is hard at first, but I personally got the hang of it quite well. Still needs a lot of improvements, but it's one of the better karting games. Certainly better than Sonic Racing on Apple Arcade. Would love to see landscape mode for iPad, controller support (probably not gonna happen), and true multiplayer. Charles Elwood Gay III, retroboy27 and Aueio like this.
