D3 Publisher has been bringing games based upon the Cartoon Network cartoon series 'Ben 10' for some time now, but this is the first of the bunch to jump the shark and take the kart racing model out for a spin. While kart racing has been working well for the Super Mario franchise, most others that have a go at the genre have come up a little flat.
Gamesta.com reports on the handheld editions of Ben 10 Galactic Racing. If the name isn't enough to get you going, there are also trailers for the Nintendo 3DS and Playstation Vita.
Take these new trophies for a portable spin in Ben 10: Galactic Racing Vita, the first kart racing game set in the popular BEN 10 universe.
"Under normal circumstances, Ben 10: Galactic Racing would be graded on a curve. Launch software line-ups are notorious for this kind of shovelware. Unfortunately for the developers and D3 Publishing, that’s just not the case with the PlayStation Vita. Your attention — and money — is much better spent else where." -Daniel of PSLS
I don't get why they bothered with this. Early Vita adopters will be proper core gamers.
Point being; people always associated Nintendo hardware along side it, as if it's the only type of software available for each of their specific devices. Someone even called the 3DS a, "Kiddie console" (poster's direct words), because of it.
Games like this have, "mass market appeal" (casual consumer), they're the titles that keeps the device afloat, while increasing a developer's profit earnings, for more core title developments.
