Open Kart

Straying from the cartoon-style nature of most go-kart games for home consoles, OPEN KART sets its sights on depicting realistic kart racing in full 3D. Speed around incredibly detailed tracks, trying to defeat your foes and earn sponsorships. There are 20 courses in all, and the action is spread across 10 countries making for varied terrain (and lots of eye candy). Begin in the 100 cc class, trying to master the smaller engines before you rise to the level of 125 cc and 250 cc competition. Each class is marked by different kart handling, unique opponent AI, and major track variances. In addition to the mind-boggling racing action, the game lets you customize your vehicle, allowing for post-victory kart improvements and new paint jobs. OPEN KART's wide selection of modes allows you to burn rubber in single races, set out to rule entire seasons, or settle into a long-running career. If you're a serious racing fan, skip DIDDY KONG RACING and MARIO KART, and step up to the intensive action of OPEN KART.
