Reviews for "Raccoon Racing"
Fun!
This was a really fun game, slick and high quality too. The tracks were neat, the art was nice, and I liked the concept of having land and water tracks on the same map.
I did have some issues with it though. The big thing I couldn't stand was the unlocking. Unlocking content is hated in console/PC games, and hated in flash games as well. In retail games it's used to stretch out an experience, and the user puts up with it because they've invested a lot of money into the game and want to wring out the content. With a flash game there is no such investment - if the content is inaccessible, I'm going to play something else. Unlocking difficulty levels is an especially bad idea, and was a huge frustration for me while playing this. I was enjoying the game, but easy mode was no challenge at all. I wanted to turn up the difficulty, but was denied the chance until basically walking through each cup. If you want to have "super-difficult-computers-cheat-hard -mode!" be unlockable, fine, but let me pick a reasonable challenge the first time through.
The other issue I had was that the cups heavily recycle tracks. There's no need for that, and it made the process of unlocking new tracks doubly painful, as each new cup I unlocked gave me one new track and required me to play two old ones (on the aforementioned tediously easy "easy" difficulty) to get new content. I don't mind that there aren't a million tracks - splitting them up into individual races would be fine, or perhaps letting the user make a custom cup of some number of tracks: pick your own or randomize.
One other thing I feel the need to mention is that certain aspects did seem to be heavily borrowed from Mario Kart. That game didn't invent the combat racing genre, but the look and feel of the weapon system here (rainbow boxes, roulette on pickup, star for invulnerability with similar music) really made me think of Mario Kart.
Sorry to go on so long about the bad parts - I actually really liked this despite my complaints. I have no issues with the gameplay, and the concept itself is very well executed. I would be very interested in seeing more of this!
Awsome game
I dont often do reviews but coming from a fellow developer who is actually developing a racing game i had to.The amount of work that has gone into this game must be respected.Exellent game my friend 10/10 from me.

The visuals were excellent and other than some small glitches it was very entertaining.
Raccon Cart
Interesting game, reminds me of the older versions of Mario Cart, especially the one on the Super NES.
