Utter insanity that this is a Doom mod, derived from ANOTHER Doom mod. I remember when this first came out, and didn't think it was gonna be very good, because it's a kart racer in the Doom engine. I thought it was completely absurd.

I was the absolutely blown away by how great the driving feels, and how great the power-ups are. This game has a blue shell equivalent, but it's genius that if you manage to maintain enough speed and boosts, you can outrun it for the entire race.

It's little stuff like that which sets it apart from other kart-racers like Mario Kart. But what truly makes it stand out is the ginormous modding community. Infinite map possibilites, characters, and gameplay tweaks.

The only thing to be desired is a proper Grand Prix mode...but that's what the sequel aims to deliver on.

It's a good thing that finally came out today.

But don't shy away from this one. Until the modding scene blows up for Ring Racers, the community for this will be what makes it worth coming back to.
