Table Top Racing: World Tour Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Table Top Racing: World Tour is a new game in the Table Top Racing universe that adds new cars, tracks, shortcuts, power-ups and all kinds of hidden secrets.
From time to time then, Table Top Racing: World Tour can feel a bit mundane; like it’s missing a certain je ne sais quoi. It’s a game that I keep coming back to though, playing the odd hour here and there between other titles, and with this approach I greatly appreciate its charm. The act of racing isn’t entirely fulfilling, but in short sharp bursts it’s still enjoyable. And its dinky recreation of a range of familiar cars combined with inventive tracks always manages to warm the heart. I suppose what I’m trying to say is that there’s plenty of room for improvement, but Table Top Racing: Worl...
Table Top Racing: World Tour looked set to follow the illustrious path forged by its highly popular mobile predecessor, but instead it fails to make the podium because of a number of under the hood problems. The lack of local multiplayer, some uninspired pick-ups, and the limited number of settings are just few of the flaws that prevent this combat-racer from keeping up with the competition. It's adrenaline-fuelled gameplay may feel exciting the first few times around the track, but sadly it's short lived due to a lack of variation during the races.
What we’re left with is a competent arcade racer that plays just as well as it looks. However, wrapped around this refined core is a layer of overly familiar tracks that do little to sell players on TTR’s core premise. Weaving in and out of humongous aerosol cans, dinner rolls, and sushi platters is a fun novelty but fails to add a dynamic worthy of praise outside its obvious aesthetic application. Although very enjoyable in small doses, Table Top Racing: World Tour doesn’t carry quite enough substance to make it past the finish line with flying colours.
One of the main things being touted about Table Top Racing: World Tour is that one of its creators worked on the WipEout series, so it'd be safe to expect high-octane racing, a pulsing soundtrack, and dazzling graphics – at least somewhat in the style of the iconic PlayStation series.
