Video games for Nintendo 3DS

We test four of the latest driving for Nintendo 3DS

Nintendo 3DS

Mario Kart 7

Price: £29.99

Rating: ★★★★★

Best buy: You’ll want to play Mario Kart 7 again and again. It has great graphics, challenging tracks, a variety of weapons, recognisable characters and brilliant detail. You can customise your kart, too, and although Mario Kart isn’t the most realistic driving game money can buy, when it’s this much fun, we can’t complain.

Asphalt 3D

Price: £14.99

Rating: ★★★★

Recommended: There are versions of the Asphalt series for the iPad and the Vita, but we think it’s at its best on the 3DS. You get more than 40 real cars and a multiplayer mode, plus it’s challenging. Not as much fun to play as Mario Kart, but Asphalt has great graphics and is more realistic than Driver, plus it’s fairly cheap, too.

Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing

Price: £12.99

Rating: ★★★

Also available on: iPad Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing is also available as an iPad app, and like Mario Kart, you race your favourite characters in buggies. It’s not as much fun as Mario Kart, and the graphics aren’t as sharp – it’s designed for the old DS, not the widescreen 3DS, and you’ll soon tire of the limited detail.

Driver: Renegade

Price: £29.99

Rating: ★★

We had high hopes for Driver, as the PlayStation 3 title fared well in our Issue 1,198 test. But this is more cartoony, and is neither as entertaining nor as realistic as the other 3DS games here. The game looks dull and grey, the graphics aren’t great and the story mode is boring. You get a single race career, but with no multiplayer option, it trails the best.
