Free Game Friday: KartRider

Each Friday a new free game is highlighted.

KartRider
What do you get when you mix Mario Kart, online roleplaying games (complete with stats, guilds and a friends list) and upgradeable karts and characters? This is KartRider in a nutshell, a new online racing game from Nexon, a South Korean game developer.

Right now it's in it's beta stage so not everything has been fully implemented. But so far things are looking up. The races fly by with very little to no lag and finding other racing couldn't be easier.

While the upgrades options are somewhat lacking right now, they show promise. Each can be bought with real money or money earned from races. From new kart models (each having there own stats) to new license plates, KartRider allows for a variety of different customization options. Nexon will periodically add more as time wears on.

If you like Mario Kart but wanted more beefy online and customization options KartRider is a must.
