Description official description

Moorhuhn's first venture into the racing genre. This kart racing game features a number of new characters that are to be introduced as members of the Moorhuhn-Family (known from the Moorhuhn shooters).

The game features comic-style 3D-graphics, 5 different drivers - each with its own driving style - and 3 different game modes.

The whole concept reminds one of the Mario Kart games. The player chooses a character, either Moorhuhn itself or Lesshuhn, Frog, Snowman or Pumpkinhead. The game's objective is to win the race, of course, but your opponent will try everything in their power to keep your chosen character from winning by sending you off the racetrack. To achieve this they resort to things like weights, water bombs, chewing gum, sudden holes in the road, boards larded with nails or even rockets. But the player can also find these so called power-ups, small packages that can be found at random order on the racetrack. Unfortunately, you do not know what is in the packages until they are opened which adds a little surprise to the action.

The kart is controlled using the arrow keys on the keyboard, but one can also use a Windows compatible gamepad.

The XL version lacks the Duel mode and two courses.

I wish Moorhuhn ended up in my KFC bucket.

The Good
Well, those 'beeps' in menu are funny. And characters in the game look pleasantly, unlike rest of the game.

The Bad
Almost everything - besides go-carts graphics are simple (only available resolution is 800x600, what is low for 2002) and locations are undetailed. Music? All tracks are few seconds long, and there are only 6 of them.

There are only 3 types of gameplay - time trial, grand prix and split-screen for 2 persons. Time trial rest on doing three laps in shortest possible time, while in grand prix you race against 4 opponents in 5 different maps. Yes, you've read it right - only 5 maps! They are so short, that you can beat them in two minutes. So, you can beat whole game in 10 minutes. That's ridiculous!

Your opponents are stupid - it can be easily noticed on ice level. They will falling to the abyss all the time, so you can finish the race while most of your competitors didn't finished first lap! Also, there are some shortcuts in the game, which you can use, but your enemies never use them. Oh, by the way - there are 5 different drivers to choose, but there are no difference between them in driving.

There are also some power-ups, which you can collect and use. You may use nitro, invulnerability shield, big hammer; and, sadly, big anvils. They can be thrown on randomly picked racer. Imagine such situation: you're on the first place, you're approaching finishing line, and... there falls big anvil from nowhere on you! Obviously, it stops you for some time, so all your opponents outrun you and you lose. Can you imagine anything more annoying?

This game is in English. However, on statistics screen you notice some German words, like Spielername (player's name), Zeit (time) and Schneemann (snowman).

The Bottom Line
It's a poor game, probably only little children will have fun on this game. However, most of children at the time would pick most probably Need for Speed. Let me give you a good advice - don't buy it. It's one of the worst racing games ever, and the only worse game from this is Big Rigs.
