    This game is probably meant for kids, but I admit I find it enjoyable. I especially like how it slingshots your car. If you like "Angry Birds" games in general you should at least give this one a go. The only thing I didn't care about it is that you cannot play it offline. If you have played this, what do you think of it?

    It's a pretty nice kart game for the tablet. I'm not a fan of microtransactions though, and trying to transpose the success of Angry Birds characters into the game is getting old.

    I haven't played angry birds go, but angry birds was cool for the first month or two, I don't even think about that game now. It died out pretty quick for me.

    I find it kinda funny how much I enjoy this app that was probably developed for children... However the graphics are nice and the entire angry birds series is on an entirely different level than other apps. I like the the system of upgrades for each set of levels. Once you max out one car, you move on to another level and have to do it again. I don't like how expensive the upgrades get towards the end of the game.

    The game is fun, and obviously is a success based on the popularity of the series. It does seem to me the franchise itself is on a decline. The original "Angry Birds" is not the top-rated download, as before, it stayed there for months. Maybe they are trying to stretch their fame with something similar but different enough the fans will be pleased, and racing people will take an interest?

    The game has its moments, and I don't have issues with microtransactions. Developers have to make revenue somehow, and people are always willing to spend money on digital goods. Angry Birds Go is worth a few hours of play, although it's not for everyone.

    You could also say Angry Birds is also meant for children, but there are plenty of adults that enjoy playing it, as well as all it's versions, like Rio, Star Wars, Space, etc.
    I'll have to give Angry Birds Go a look, I haven't seen anything of it.

    I agree, it's a very well made game and I'm not that surprised since the makers of it now have a very high budget for these projects. I don't get addicted to it as much as my other games though but I think that might be more due to the fact that I am not that obsessive when it comes to kart racing games.

    It's a pretty nice game. I never would've thought that Angry Birds would start making racing games, but I guess I was wrong! I'll probably be giving this game a try sometime soon.

    Same here. I wasn't familiar with kart racing games being popular until I saw that game. As far as I knew before that Mario was the only kart racing game.

    I hate this game because of the microtransactions. It's also not very challenging, but because it's aimed at kids, I'm guessing that was a design choice rather than a flaw.

    I can't get my girlfriend to stop playing this game. I don't know what's more irritating the little noises that it produces or her stuffed angry bird dolls.

    This is one racing app that I can say has me seriously addicted. Some people might think that it is for kids but honestly I do not think so. I have been playing this game for some time now and I will tell you that every single time that I turn it on it never gets old. This is one racing game that I suggest if you have never played that you should take some time to look into it.

    Yeah micro transactions are really terrible and while I don't blame them for trying to earn with their product I really wish that they could find some other way to do it. I agree with you the game is too simple but I can understand since it's a mobile game.

    I really agree that it simple and the truth is I was actually introduced to the game by a three year old. Honestly I do not play the game to take it seriously it is just something that I do in my spear time. I am trying to understand what you mean by micro transactions do they take money from your just because you are playing the game or something?

    I enjoy playing it on my phone from time to time. It has nice graphics and it's a good time waster.
    Not the best game though, there are better ones out there.

    I still pick up Angry Birds Go from time to time. It doesn't happen often, but it does indeed happen.

    It has almost been a year and this is one of the games that I still play until this day. The game is really a fun game to play and sometimes I cannot get enough of it. Another good game is Sonic Racing transformed.

    I used to play Angry Birds, but it was a boring game for me. :-O I didn't like it that much.
    Maybe Angry Birds Go is going to be more interesting, I might give it a try. :D
