Considering racing around in go-karts isn't as popular as it once was, any new entry in the genre is welcome. Thankfully, All-Star Fruit Racing is actually fun so buckle up and get ready to race!

Has All-Star Fruit Racing got the right blend to make it as a top-tier kart racer? Find out in our All-Star Fruit Racing PS4 review.

For a first attempt at a kart racer, All-Star Fruit Racing shows that the team behind it is talented, and they know how to make a genuinely fun game. There’s a lot of joy involved in playing this one, and it’s an ideal party racing game, particularly on the PlayStation 4, where there’s no Mario Kart equivalent to reach for. If it wasn’t for the infuriating AI, I’d even argue that All-Star Fruit Racing takes a step forward in a genre that Nintendo itself is almost painfully conservative about.

Another annoyance is that the loading times are long on both the tested platforms. However, in a nice educational touch these loading screens offer up facts about fruit that you might not know. It’s a good twist on the loading screen hints, and combined with the general aesthetic could help draw in younger children and make up for the wait.

The more I discovered, like how the creepy laugh was apparently my car horn and how I could customize it to sound more like a real horn, all l...

If you're a fan of kart racers but don't have a Nintendo console, or are simply sick to death of blue shells and bullet bills, 3DClouds is on hand to offer a fruit-based alternative. But should the game be considered one of your five a day, or simply be resigned to the compost heap?

I have a lot of questions for this game, like why is Poseimon one of the last tracks I unlock when it’s so dull and why does Dino Juice have a Jurassic Park design motif with a Danny Elfman inspired music track? Or why did I race the same track two different times in a single cup? But I don’t want to think about what the answers to those would be because I really don’t want to think about All-Star Fruit Racing anymore. If this were on mobile I’d have deleted it after my first trip to Avocado Roller. As it’s a PS4 game, I was holding to hope there’d be something, anything, I could grasp on to h...
