Tim from Tech Olive writes, "When we first heard of Zero Gear, we were pleasantly surprised. From early previews, it was hard to believe that someone was finally making a Mario Kart-themed racer. It seemed that they captured what made Mario Kart great and managed to bring it to gamers with a fresh look and design. Like Mario Kart, Zero Gear focuses heavily on combat and weapons to win the race. However, it does offer more than just circuit-race gametypes."
Nimblebit has released a new update for its kart combat and racing game Zero Gear, adding the new Sumo game mode.
Multiplayer.it: The genre of arcade driving games was very fashionable a few years ago, just think of legendary games like ATR - All Terrain Racing or the newer Re-Volt, still a myth in many actually still played by a handful of loyalists .
Gamer Limit writes: "When you think of competitive kart racing games, Mario Kart is the main franchise that comes to mind, with several iterations on all number of Nintendo systems. However, developer Nimblebit is hoping to shake up the kart racing genre with their first offering for the PC, Zero Gear.
It's hard not to draw parallels to Mario Kart when speaking of a kart racing game, and Zero Gear stays true to the style, offering numerous weapons to use against your opponents in an effort to score an underhanded win."
