We all know that I am a child of the 70’s but my formative pop culture years were the 1980’s. I watched The Smurfs every Saturday morning as a kid. I loved Saturday morning cartoons and the Smurfs was a huge part of that. I had collected many Smurfs figures and stickers and so many Smurfs related things. I jumped at the chance to review this game.
Playing Smurfs Kart is like being transported to Smurfs Village and being 3 apples tall. I had so much fun racing around the courses as Papa Smurf in a Smurf sized vehicle that had the look and feel of some contraption that Handy Smurf created. As I raced along in the Smurf Cup races and won nearly all of them. I was playing in “Fun” mode to start, I earned a bunch of Smurfs Stickers for my sticker album. Did I mention that I collected stickers as a kid and these stickers in the game have the classic Smurfs look and feel to them. There are 110 stickers to collect and you earn them the more you play. There are 12 playable Smurfs and 12 tracks to play on. You can race through many Smurfs locations including Gargamel’s house.
the game mechanics are very much like all other kart racing games and so you’ll be able to pick it up quickly. The major differences are the power up items that you collect as you drive and how they are Smurf themed. You can even give another player one of Jokey Smurf’s exploding presents. Also, you can collect Smurfberries along the rides.
I had a great time playing and would like to give you the opportunity to play as well. So after the game trailer below you can enter this giveaway by leaving a comment on this blog post telling me who is your favorite Smurf.
