Could F1 Race Stars be Xbox and PS3’s answer to Mario Kart?


Codemasters have unveiled their latest F1 game, and it isn’t what anyone was expecting…

I love F1, it’s one of the most exciting and unpredictable sports in the world, but I suck at racing games. Well that isn’t entirely true, to be more accurate I suck at racing simulation games, and Formula 1 games are the most technical and frustrating of all, but like every 20 something I LOVE Mario Kart.

However despite having every iteration of the premier Kart racing game since the SNES days I find it almost impossible to get my friends huddled round a Wii, which is why I’m always interested in any new multiplatform Karting game.

And F1 Race Stars has certainly piqued my interest, with big headed caricatures of actual F1 drivers, to promising over the top tracks complete with power ups and weapons, could we finally have a competitor for the Karting crown? We will have to wait til November to find out, but for now check out the trailer below and let us know what you think…
