Pros
Pro Very nice voice acting
Pro Looks beautiful
Pro Checkpoints in levels
Checkpoints allow for partial level rewind so beginning parts of levels don't need to be played over and over to get to difficult parts.
Pro Can really build some crazy mazes in later levels
Early on you are limited in placement, but in later levels you can and need to build your own mazes to really direct the enemies. There are lots of options/routes/ways to build those mazes so it really opens up a lot of replayability to try and beat your friends scores by tweaking your mazes for maximum points.
Pro Great selection of tracks
There's a ton of different tracks to race on, each with their own unique hazards and tricks to learn.
Pro Levels change as laps progress
As each lap is run the levels in game will transition and change, which makes learning and adapting to the tracks something each player needs to consider.
Pro Vehicle transformations offer gameplay variety
Vehicles change shape at various points in the race with each variant of the vehicle behaving slightly differently offering more variety in each race.
