Brilliant racing game in which you take the place of Tux and other Linux characters.
Kart games, with Super Mario Kart as the main exponent, have gained the players favor in such a way that they have practically become another genre within the
driving arcade games.
SuperTuxKart is one of those games, with the only big difference that it is based on
Tux, the Linux Mascot, and other famous mascots of applications for that platform.
Graphically it's not bas at all, specially if we take into account that this kind of game doesn't have to be extremely striking in that sense, nevertheless,
incredible playability, speed and variety are essential, and
SuperTuxKart covers these three points without any problem.
It is possible to
play with split screen, local net or over Internet in it's
16 circuits, each one with its own style. What's more, we will have
quite a few weapons (among which we will find the famous slippery banana) and
four game modes, including a multiplayer mode that allows battles where winning the race isn't the important factor.
Among the
twelve characters that we can select, the differences are minor when it comes to playing, and the only really known character is Tux, the Linux mascot.
Requirements: You have to have Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 or above installed, and also the Open AL drivers that will automatically install during the games installation.
