Avatar Grand Prix review (XBLIG)
Avatar Grand Prix was developed by Battenberg Software. It was released August 25, 2010 for 80MSP. A copy of the game was provided by the developer for review purposes.
It’s easy to dismiss some indie games as mere copies of the games they try to emulate. It’s not surprising that so many generi-makes exist on the Indie Games channel amongst the original ideas. But sometimes one emerges that truly deserves a download, one that takes players back and provides not only the concept, but the content players are looking for. Avatar Grand Prix takes its cues from Mario Kart 64; the basics are all there: powerup cubes, power sliding, it’s even got a rainbow road copy. But where other Mario Kart clones may fall short Avatar GP succeeds.
