It's possibly not quite as serious as S1K but in many ways it's a good kart game/sim. If you can find it cheap it's definitely worth getting. There was even talk of a sequel at one stage but I'm not sure if it's been released yet. My only real gripe with MS WTK is the lack of multiplayer.

My only real gripe with MS WTK is the lack of multiplayer. It's fairly cheap, this one supports LAN for up to 10 players, and according to the website: "Online gaming with community and top player list" I don't know if they mean actual online racing or just posting of top times/rankings to the website. So it might actually be the sequel it was released here (Australia) last month, but it looks like it might be a rerelease on a budget label. The minimum system specs on the box stated 400Mhz but 10tacle's website states 1Ghz. Also you mention that "it's a good kart game/sim" would it be closer to a sim than a game or more game like. Thanks Cordova

Also I've been looking but haven't been able to find an answer if this game uses Starforce. Not wanting to spark debate as it's alive and well in the GTR thread, if it does use Starforce that would be a dealbreaker for me. Thanks Cordova

It's a good game but easily completed if you are a serious sim player. Super 1 Karting is far more sim like . There was a sequel but I found the settings more than a little wierd, to say the least. One track was set around a Japanese warehouse with dead whales all over the place !!!!

It doesn't use (the able to be uninstalled in less than 2 seconds) Starforce and yeah the online aspect is basically a world rankings site. Still pretty cool though. I'd say it leans towards being a simulation but it's not a super hardcore physics model.

It's sounds almost worth getting for the Greenpeace designed circuit though :o) Thanks Cordova

With regards to Starforce I haven't really had any major problems with it (apart from the GT Legends demo which was fixed with an update) I just prefer less invasive forms of copy protection that don't need to install anything on my computer, and don't take up system resources I'd rather have being assigned to the game. It's just a personal thing. Once again Thank you both for your help. Cordova
