So, yeah, when it comes to racing titles the Switch is definitely hurting. Between disappointing mobile conversions and not-so-hot Mario Kart clone attempts there are a few solid indie racers but there’s definitely room for a real contender to come in and shake things up. Unfortunately, with its wildly funky physics, off-road style feeling like an excuse to not really put together tracks and driver AI so much as general environments and driver meandering, and simply a lack of much content WildTrax Racing isn’t that title. Being brutal, it isn’t that title at all. I can work with funky and fun physics and don’t mind there being far more arcade than sim to a game but above all the races in this title are just pretty boring, and without power-ups or anything to liven things up you’re just trying not to slow yourself down in any way or you risk missing the checkpoint. Just it’s a bit of a mess.
