All-Star Fruit Racing Reviews
All-Star Fruit Racing gets it right when it comes to game modes and umber of tracks - wide and varied, along with a lush visual outlook. Less fortunate, though, are its repetitiveness, the lack of a sensation of speed, its long loading times and an overall mediocre soundtrack. All together, these factors make All-Star Fruit Racing a more passable name in the world of kart racing.

All-Star Fruit Racing tries to be the kart racing game we want on the PlayStation 4, but its lack of some extra polish hurts it. The game looks as if it was from last gen, and the frame rate is all over the place, which hurts the flow of a kart racing game. It does have a few good ideas and the kart racing mechanics are okay, but this isn't the game we have been waiting for.
My first dive into the game left a really sour taste in my mouth. There was a broken AI system that simply did not allow me to get gold in any of the races in order to unlock the rest of the characters. Most of them are generic in design, minus a few interesting ones with special attacks.
Beyond the comparative grievance with Mario Kart, All-Star Fruit Racing feels like a low budget karting game with nothing in particular beyond its juice mixer system for some unsurprising and ineffective power-ups.

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 here that would signify it as a quality kart racer for the platform. There isn't.
A serviceable Mario Kart clone that is fun enough but lacks any real personality and won't challenge most gamers
All-Star Fruit Racing is an interesting racer that, unfortunately, received a bad port on Switch. It could have been good, but the sacrifices made for the Switch version completely ruined the gameplay experience for me. If you're going to buy All-Star Fruit Racing, avoid the Switch version at all costs.
Only after you've exhausted all worthwhile alternatives is All-Star Fruit Racing worth giving a go, and also probably after a hefty discount.
All-Star Fruit Racing isn't a bad game it just ended up being a very average and meh game in my opinion.
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 relatively fun kart racer that has some good ideas, but it all goes a bit pear-shaped. Though it provides a decent amount of content both in single and multiplayer, the wavering performance, some iffy design choices, and a general lack of polish may spoil your appetite. If you're hungry for a simple kart racing experience on PS4, this may give you a bite of the cherry, but it'll sadly never be top banana.
