Realistic kart racer coming to XBLA/PSN/PC


Okay, we're a bit confused. We've always assumed that kart racing games were better suited to zany characters, wacky power-ups, and fantastical tracks -- rather than a Gran Turismo sense of realism. Developer Blimey Games, however, seeks to prove us wrong, with their high-definition racer tentatively titled Kart Attack.

The name suggests that red shells and banana peels would fit right in, but the work-in-progress screenshots make us doubt that they'll be anything out of the ordinary about the game. Blimey states that Kart Attack is being developed for Xbox Live Arcade, Playstation Network, and Games for Windows Live, and will feature "stunning next generation graphics", and online mutliplayer.

We'll keep our fingers crossed for at least some Road Rash-style kart-to-kart attacks. How much fun could realistic virtual kart racing actually be?
