The handling is by-the-books and presents no real problems, but there are no powerslides or anything to actually make navigating corners fun. It doesn’t help that the game just isn’t that fun to play either. That may not seem like a long time written down but you’d better believe it goes by slowly (by comparison, Rainbow Road in Mario Kart Wii can easily be done in around three minutes). The Egypt-themed course in particular can take just over seven minutes to beat, and that’s assuming you get a relatively clean run. That metaphor actually goes deeper than you’d think, because much like Zeppelin’s output, the tracks here can get pretty long: delightfully long in the case of Plant, Page, Jones and Bonham painfully long here. Now, we appreciate not every game can be as packed as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but when you’re charging $30 for your game and it has fewer tracks than a Led Zeppelin album that’s not ideal. Here’s the first problem, though: there are only two Championships, which means the game only has eight tracks in total. No big surprises here, because the former is self-explanatory and the latter is your typical Mario Kart style Grand Prix consisting of four tracks. Once you’ve picked your driver, there are two options available to you: Single Race or Championship. Each has their own stats as you’d expect but because the handling is pretty easy and there’s no rubber-banding to speak of, you may as well pick the one with the highest top speed and go for it, which is… ( checks notes) ah. There are seven characters to choose from, including Moorhuhn itself and some other nondescript animals (plus a scary pumpkin because hey, why not, it’s always Halloween somewhere). Don’t be expecting anything revolutionary here, though: in fact, in some ways this new version is actually inferior to the PC one despite arriving nearly two decades later. This Switch version claims to be a ‘remaster’ and certainly has had a subtle lick of paint when you compare it side-by-side to the original. In case you aren’t familiar with it, Moorhuhn Kart 2 (also known in different regions back in the day as Crazy Chicken Kart 2 and Chicken Hunter: License to Grill) was a PC-only karting game and the ninth title in the Moorhuhn series of games, which was based in Germany and starred a comedy chicken. And when we say “this world”, we clearly mean Bizarro World, where cats chase dogs, cows milk humans and sventeen-year-old PC racing games get ported to Switch for some reason. There’s only one Switch remaster this world needed, and that’s Moorhuhn Kart 2. ![]()
