You can't really ruin the original by adding more content. New tracks are more intricate (and difficult?). I'm not a hardcore gamer, but this kinda shows you how hardcore Linux nerds can get.

New characters are cool, but why would ever play as some random penguin named Boris instead of playing as the iconic Tux? He's kinda the star of the game. It's like when the Sonic Team adds all these extra characters in a Sonic game. Like get them outta there, nobody cares about Bigsby the Cat or his stupid frog.

Anyway, it's a sort of tradition to play a couple of races in this game every New Year's Eve. I'm sure I will keep it up as long as I can, but I dunno if I'll ever beat either version of the game.
