I would have to say that the author’s review must be a product of just being bad at the game. Leaving aside the fact that comparing an interactive piece of media to television is, to be frank, outright laughable, and that this ignores the fact that video games can incorporate elements that couldn’t really work in real life – as well as the ability to compete with friends and strangers online, the assessment of the mechanics is outright false. In my experience, the controls are actually quite tight for the most part, and where they aren’t would appear to be by design, lending to the zany, madcap feel of the game. While rewinds, powerups, and “jinxes” might be all well and good, skilled players shouldn’t need them, and every course is completely possible on its own. Even without grinding, players who genuinely enjoy the game will have plenty of opportunities to earn stars by simply trying to get in first, collect all the course stars, and complete the challenges. I unlocked all the first run courses, and still had enough left over for all the alternate paths, as well as a couple advanced paths and their alternate paths…without even managing to get gold on all races. It just takes practice, and a little bit of skill.
