Product ReviewsSmurf Racer (Sony PlayStation 1, 2001)

There are better Smurf games out there.

I bought this game about a week ago, and played it.

Smurf fans, well, if you want to race, well, it may be for die-hard Smurf fans and veterans, but sadly to say, although it is not the worst game to date, but it's not great either.

The graphics are not that great, as you can see that the Smurfs are extremely blocky. The cars also look like cardboard boxes, and the village houses are made up of cardboard with paint on it. Heck, even Baby Smurf can make better graphics than this.

The Gameplay is no E.T. for the Atari, but it could use some serious improvements. As you can see, the camera points too downward, forcing players to go way up on the screen in order to see forward. This is annoying, because it effects the field of vision.

The sounds are awful. There's no Papa Smurf's voice when you control Papa Smurf, and the music is non-existent.

The good thing is the plot, where you can race in Smurf's village, the forest, and other areas.

If you want to play a Smurf game, try out the Game Boy Smurfs right here, or Play the other Smurf game on the PSX instead. If you want to play a good racing game, play Mario Kart or Diddy Kong Racing if you have a Nintendo 64. This game is reserved for those who are Smurf Veterans and is one of the last games to pick up. So keep that in mind before you click on that BID or BUY IT NOW button. Just because I am a Smurf veteran doesn't mean that I like this game to the caliber of Mario Kart. But this game is good for collectors of the Smurf games like me, especially that I was a Smurf lover back in the 80s.Read full review...

Smurfy fun for kids

I originally bought this so that my 5 year old had a game to play that didn't involve the violence, death, destruction and complexity of most Playstation games. He enjoys it, even though he does have some trouble with the controls. It would be nice if there were more ways to control the overall speed of the game and slow it down for less experienced players, or have a slow practice track. I've already played though the entire game and unlocked all the special characters. The controls are very responsive, the backgrounds look great and tracks are challenging. The Smurfs and their cars are blocky, which is surprising considering the platform, and the game as a whole is short. Even though I'm a fan of the Smurfs, the game will loose it's re-playability soon. For my 5 year old I hope that with practice the frustration goes away.Read full review...

Smurf Racer Playstationi 1 lousy game

The game looks very dated, very bad graphics and the sound and animations look about 20 years old. It's a very cheap version of Mario Kart but not nearly as fun and doesn't look good at all.

fun game for the kids,east to play and understand

Fun to play,kids enjoy playing the different characters.The tracks are challenging not hard.Brings back memories!
