I started with the career mode since that's generally a good place to start in any game and simply couldn't get past the third race. I knew how to block and how to save my powerups, but when seven other opponents all use their teir 3 powerups on you in the last seconds on the race, there isn't much you can do. I would except that kind of behavior on the harder difficulty settings (if there was one at the time) or in later races, but not the third race in the game. The game simply fails at any sort of difficulty curve. I easily came in first for the first two races and got all the rewards but one but on the third race, I couldn't finish it. I would easily be in first the entire race except the last part of the last lap when the AI simply unloaded on me and there was nothing I could do. Like I said, you can call me bad at the game, I don't care, but the third race in a casual kart racing game shouldn't be that hard. |
All that just doesn't compute with me for the 3rd race in the first series. I got through it first time, and I thought the difficulty curve was a little shallow if anything. Things really didn't start getting tough to win until the final race series. Again, I'm talking about playing on normal difficulty. So it's got nothing to do with the casual difficulty patch. I don't understand how a kart racing fan can find it too hard.
Maybe your PS3 knows you really don't like it, so it was being mean to you. Show it some love and it will love you back. She is a demanding mistress.
