To unlock – Get gold in the Pizza Cup 100cc Maybe I’m reading a bit too much into this. It’s not quite clear what happened in Liz’s love life during those two and a half decades that made her resort to her fall-back plan of the creepy guy who kept taking his fat cat into her surgery. Jon fell in love with her at the time, but they didn’t actually get together until 2006 which means Jesus, that guy was persistent. Liz first appeared a year into the Garfield comic strip, and is Garfield’s vet. To unlock – Get gold in the Lasagna Cup 100cc He’s friendly, he loves his pets and he spent 27 years trying to go out with one specific woman. He’s such a sad chap that someone once discovered that if you removed everyone except for Jon from the comics, the story was instead about a man suffering a mental breakdown. Garfield’s loving owner is portrayed as a bit of a sap. I’d go into more detail but I’m fairly sure Rick & Morty did a bit on it once and I really don’t want its unhinged fanbase filling this article’s comments with shit like “get schwifty”.

He’s basically the world’s laziest cat, who for years people thought was voiced by Bill Murray but actually wasn’t, until the animated movie came along in 2004 and then Bill Murray voiced him. If you’ve never heard of Garfield, then I’m going to level with you: the rest of this article’s going to be a slog.

I unlocked them all eventually, though, so here’s the full roster. You see, when you start there are only two to choose from: Garfield and Jon. I wasn’t sure how much I was going to care about the other racers in the game, but it was going to be a while before I found out. Having a plush Garfield stuck to your car window is one thing, but actually wanting to play a game starring one of the least dynamic characters in history is another.Īs Garfield Kart was downloading, I realised I could only think of four characters: Garfield, his owner Jon, his dog Odie and Jon’s girlfriend, whose name I didn’t know. He’s also never really been the sort of character who generates any true excitement: none of his previous games (not even the Mega Drive one released during the height of his popularity) sold particularly well. There’s no doubt that Garfield is big, but he’s nowhere near as big as he was in the 20th century.

Garfield had a bunch of primetime cartoon movies in the early ‘80s, a seven-season animated series that started in 1988, a CGI series in 2007, five CGI movies and a load of video games over the years. It’s also one of the most heavily merchandised properties of all time, earning around $1 billion a year in merch sales alone (most of which comes from Garfield Kart, presumably).

In that time, the mildly humorous adventures of the sleepy, lasagna-loving cat have enjoyed so much success that it holds the Guinness World Record for the most widely syndicated comic strip, with over 2500 newspapers worldwide including it in their ‘funnies’ section. Garfield was created 40 years ago by cartoonist Jim Davis. TO THE JUDGING CHAMBER WITH THEE, GARFIELD KART. Since it seems to have some sort of internet buzz around it at the moment as the alleged “worst game ever” (presumably by meme kids who’ve never experienced the joys of Wheelspin, Ninjabread Man, Rise Of The Robots or Superman 64), I decided to cover it next.Īlthough it was also released on mobile and 3DS (where it reportedly looks horrendous), today I’m looking at the version on Steam, where it currently has a suspicious 9/10 rating. Shortly after I posted the first Kartography I was informed that Garfield Kart was available for a dirt cheap price on Steam (it isn’t any more, but it’s still only £3.99).

PC, 3DS, iOS, Android (PC version covered)Īfter kicking off Kartography last week with the mediocre Hello Kitty Kruisers (which scored 13/40), it’s time for game two to drive up to the… um, judging chamber. Kartography is my regular series in which I look at licensed kart racers throughout gaming history, and figure out where they fit on my all-time kart game leaderboard.įor more information on my scoring policy for Kartography, check out this introductory article.
