Gameplay

After the game completely loads, you'll be able to choose your character and customize any options before starting to play. You'll choose whether your want to play normal or multiplayer mode. If you choose the normal mode, you won't be playing with live players, but you'll still need to have an internet connection to play. Once the countdown runs out, you'll be put into the race. Different tours will have different map options and you never now which one you'll end up on. As you progress through the tour, you'll earn coins that add up until the end of that particular tour. Each new tour resets scores and points.

While the game automatically does some driving, like accelerating and jumps, but you'll still have to press the gas, let go of the gas, and steer. It'll vary from tour to tour, but you'll need to go around the track a certain number of times. Once everyone gets their laps done, points will be given based on what position each character came in. As you're racing on the track, you'll come across a few different things to either help you or hinder you, including item boxes and speed boosts. The items from these boxes will be ones that will help you get ahead and try to hinder the other players. At the end of the tour, those with the highest points win the cup.

Final Review

While this may be a great option for some, others might find that it just isn't worth the time. The leveling up isn't based on player skills and advertisements are focused on getting players to make purchases. With that said, though, the graphics and sounds make for a great game. It's a little bit difficult to get used to driving and controlling the cars, but players can get some great items to use for upgrading their vehicles. If you aren't too serious and just want something to pass a little time, then Markio Kart Tour is a great app option.
