When it comes to arcade racing games, people always remember Mario Kart, and I've always found it to be a huge injustice.
CTR is BY FAR the best kart videogame. The career mode actually has a fun story (despite being an arcade game) and the difficult increases through the plot, forcing the player to evolve the driving style. If you are a casual, you could just play until the final boss is defeated and you're good to go. But if you're really into the game, the side "quests" are amazing, with great challenges to unlock new tracks and characters and beating your own records (actually receiving in-game rewards for it).
The multiplayer mode is also guaranteed fun, whether it's just racing or a fun battle among up to four human players using power-ups and "kart-shooting" one another.
The shortcuts are another part of the game that makes it unpredictable, self-challenging and of course, funnier.
And for last, the boosting-drifting system is what separates this game from the others. It feels so natural to make your kart jump, powerslide through the track gaining small boost, and then a final big boost if you've done it three times in a row is so, so natural that it makes it feel that this is how real-life kart racing works.
Please, do yourself a favor and play it.
