What players say about Garfield Kart
Garfield Kart occupies a unique space, being heavily polarized between those who play it for its status as a humorous cult classic and those who judge it as a standard kart racer. While many users appreciate the game for its meme-driven community and low cost, players expecting a polished, competitive racing experience often find the actual gameplay and technical performance frustrating.
What players like
-
Cult following and meme status 25 of 54 reviews
A large portion of the player base engages with the game primarily for its humorous reputation and meme-worthy status rather than its mechanics.
-
Low price point 8 of 54 reviews
Reviewers frequently mention that the game is very inexpensive and often available at a steep discount, making it a low-risk purchase.
-
Visual charm 6 of 54 reviews
Some players appreciate the simple, vibrant, and cartoonish aesthetic which aligns well with the source material.
What players criticise
-
Clunky and unresponsive controls 14 of 54 reviews
Users frequently report input lag, difficulty in steering that feels like controlling a boat, and persistent issues with mapping controllers.
-
Lack of online multiplayer 10 of 54 reviews
A common point of frustration is the absence of an online mode, with many players noting they purchased this version mistakenly, intending to play the 'Furious Racing' sequel instead.
-
Unfair AI behavior 9 of 54 reviews
The AI is widely criticized for 'rubber-banding' or cheating, with players feeling the computer opponents act aggressively to knock them off the track.
-
Tedious progression and grinding 5 of 54 reviews
Unlocking characters and karts requires a significant amount of grinding for coins, which some players find repetitive and difficult.
Best for: Players looking for a cheap, humorous, or ironic gaming experience to enjoy with friends or as a curiosity, rather than a serious, polished racing game.
Not for you if: Players expecting a modern, fully-featured, or online-ready kart racer, as they will likely find the technical flaws and lack of multiplayer disappointing compared to alternatives like 'Garfield Kart: Furious Racing'.
Garfield Kart — questions players ask
- Does this game have online multiplayer?
- No, this version does not feature online multiplayer. Many reviewers warn that players looking for that feature are likely looking for the sequel, 'Garfield Kart: Furious Racing'.
- How are the controls and performance?
- Reviews are generally critical of the controls, describing them as unresponsive, laggy, or 'floaty.' Additionally, several users report issues with controller configuration and frame rate drops.
- Is it worth the money?
- The consensus depends on expectations; many reviewers suggest it is worth the very low price solely for the meme value, but strongly advise against it if one is looking for high-quality gameplay.

User Reviews
I'm pretty upset that I couldn't find the mode where you can rub butter on garfields feet.
I saw a really lasciviously tantalizing scene in which butter was being melted and slathered on garfields rubbery little foot pads.
Some cons, it's really hard to run, I can barely manage 30FPS on my computer, but its so good I can't fault it for that.
It's also not very child friendly because of the previously mentioned scene, it's very moistening.
I still feel pretty confident that this purchase was a good one and in the long run, I may even go to my dads house and beat his head in with a physical copy of this game that I order from Etsy.
10/10.
Will be buying this for all my friends.
