All-Star Fruit Racing Reviews
If you're itching to play a simple kart racer then All-Star Fruit Racing is sure to satisfy.
All-Star Fruit Racing may not include everyone’s favourite platforming hero or even any memorable characters for that matter, but it’s a good attempt at a kart racer that features some unique differences to the usual formula and that makes it worth a look. You’ll also learn some interesting facts about fruit along the way.
All-Star Fuir Racing is a valid alternative, although several steps below, to the karting benchmarks: Mario Kart and Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed. With an even more arcade driving than its competitors, 3DClouds offers us a quite fun title, with a successful progression system and an interesting single-player component. Despite its shortcomings, this is a very enjoyable title.

There’s no doubt that competing in this space on the Switch is a brutal affair but I’d think anyone trying to make a dent in even the fender of a game like Mario Kart would be well aware of that challenge. For a freshman effort I suppose All-Star Fruit Racing makes the most of the attempt, and shows some glimmer of hope for someone changing up the formula effectively. Unfortunately its biggest struggle is to stand out, at least in a good way, and while it is leading the indie racing pack for the most part it’s still not even sniffing Mario Kart’s fumes in the end.
Overall, All-Star Fruit Racing is a cute kart racer for younger gamers. It’s aesthetically pleasing and has some fun racing moments. The game mechanics could use some work, but I don’t think it will stop the younger crowd from enjoying it. Serious fans of the kart racing genre may want to look elsewhere.
All-Star Fruit Racing is a decent enough kart racer that offers a few interesting ideas of its own but unfortunately suffers in a few areas whether it’s the awkward control scheme, confusing weapon system or even a general lack of online features. There’s fun to be had from this fruit-inspired title, sure, but perhaps a little ripening could have helped sweeten this uneven racer.
All-Star Fruit Racing is a respectable kart racing game. You can spend many hours with it and have a lot of fun. However, be aware that the title does not really offer anything new or even revolutionary.

All-Star Fruit Racing is everything that people love in Mario Kart. It simply allows us to see how poor the concept of simplistic arcade racing is when we strip layers of nostalgia.

Whilst it’s probably not going to be bothering Mario and Sonic atop the kart -racer leader boards anytime soon, it’s fun, full of vibrancy and a great choice to crack out over the summer months.
All-Star Fruit Racer is a bold attempt at making a name for itself in an oversaturated genre. Unfortunately, the lack of focus on delivering a consistent product has left AFR a little under-ripe and could have done with a bit more time to develop.
All-Star Fruit Racing is a fun family-friendly multi-platform kart racing game. I had a blast playing it as it reminded me of a lower budget Mario Kart yet with its own personality and charm. The combat mechanics, when using Fruit Mode, are a little daunting at first yet once you have used it a few times, it’s actually really innovative and it actually lets you collect up to four abilities at a time or less if you wish to combine them ala Magicka style. The voices and laughing do become irritating for adults after a while, although kids may not think the same as young children usually like words and phrases being repeated.
