Something that does age well however, is the track design, kudos to the developers because each one of these 15 tracks feels unique and special and you can tell they’ve spent time and effort into perfecting these tracks. So while not a major problem, those who are enthusiasts of F1 might feel a little cheated about the out of date line-up. One of the strangest things about this game is that it initially came out in 2012 and was then released on Wii U exclusively in Japan in 2013, then finally found its way everywhere else this year.
#F1 RACE STARS WII U MII LICENSE#
The use of the F1 license is great and it was surely no easy task to try and convert that license into a cartoon-like aesthetic, but it’s all out of date. The combination of the F1 license, therefore using real cars and real F1 drivers, and then kart-racing is a mixture that doesn’t always feel cohesive, but has its shining moments. The strangely enchanting visuals feel like they have a purpose and weren’t made just to fit the kart genre. It’s good fun, I feel I should mention that first. It’s a title which manages to ride on its own four wheels, but still comes crashing into the barriers from time to time. Codemasters throw everything they’ve done before out the window and instead come together to create F1 Race Stars (Powered Up Edition being the subtitle for the Wii U version). Kart racing is a genre that some claim to have been perfected back in the ‘90s with Super Mario Kart, so it’s strange to see that developers are still going at them, especially Codemasters, a developer known for highly detailed, realistic racing games.
