3/5 ★ – botrazzle's review of LittleBigPlanet Karting.

LBP Karting's story mode is a short but sweet adventure that captures the aesthetic of the mainline games and adequately translates into kart racing. The plot, while basic, is a welcome addition in a genre where the definitive series (Mario Kart) can barely be bothered to have single player content. Regular races, battle levels, and other special types of levels mix up the gameplay and create a satisfying, if quite short, experience. When avoiding optional levels and only playing those that advance the story the story can be finished in less than 4 hours. As a Kart racer the game is nothing special, and the balancing of some of the weapons and items feels off, however the single player is well worth the time of fans of LittleBigPlanet, and of kart racers in general. Do be aware that at the time of writing the servers for this game are shut down and online multiplayer is not possible, though the single player and local multiplayer content can still be enjoyed.
