That’s right, the fire-elemental summon is a firefighter. Ifrit, a fan-favourite summon and boss throughout the Final Fantasy series, features as a humanoid firefighter.

While it was nice to see a bunch of recurring characters, music, and locales from both the Final Fantasy and Chocobo series make an appearance, it was all rather underwhelming. This stopped being funny five race tracks ago. There are a few funny lines that throw back to past games, but most get over-used and you just tire of them.

Though there are references - every track, song, and character is a throwback to something or someone in the franchise - it doesn’t feel substantial enough.

With such a wealth of games to the Final Fantasy name, you’d think Chocobo GP was going to be absolutely jam-packed full of fan service moments, cameos, and easter eggs. I have no idea why the game prompts you to press Y instead of ZL when it is the more obvious choice, but please learn from my mistakes. By default, ZL is also an ability button and is much easier to press while you’re racing. While there are multiple layouts to choose from, I didn’t have to change anything. This was short-lived after a quick visit to the options menu.

In particular, pressing Y to use your ability was an awkward setup.

There is no shortage of kart racers on the market, especially on Nintendo Switch, and there are much better alternatives available right now than Chocobo GP in its current state.” The spells and abilities need to be toned down and the tracks need redoing or replacing. As it stands, the game needs work, as the current product just isn’t fun. Screen Rant gave the game one of the lowest scores on the site with just 30 out of 100 – and said: “It’s possible that Chocobo GP could become a respectable kart racer in the future, and the free-to-play version means everyone can try it out without needing to spend any cash.

“The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass may not be far away, and this won’t do the Final Fantasy kart racer spin-off any favours, but the free version of Chocobo GP offers a mediocre alternative to Nintendo’s crown jewel with plenty of modes to enjoy, even if the road is a little on the bumpy side.” You can play a good chunk of the game for free, and Square Enix promises Season Pass DLC, but racing as Cloud Strife won’t shift the bad taste from unimaginative race tracks Chocobo GP has to offer. My Nintendo News said: “Chocobo GP has a lot of decent ideas with its Magicite attacks, and a large roster of recognisable characters that each have their own unique ability. Chocobo GP has received mixed reviews ahead of release.

While many were pleasantly surprised by Chocobo GP’s pleasant charm and levels of enjoyment, but a lack of imagination and uniqueness from Square Enix appears to be the main complaints from various publishers. The previous game received fair low scores as it is and the sequel followed up in similar fashion.Īt the time of writing, Metacritic have provided a Metascore of just 65 from 25 critic reviews. A lot of comparisons were to Mario Kart in their final reviews of the game, with various publishers getting a first-hand experience on Chocobo GP and what players can expect.
