While the core gameplay is enjoyable and the amount of content is impressive, Table Top Racing is missing too much to become a standout.

Table Top Racing is exceptionally good fun, alone or with friends.

In the end, Table Top Racing is a fine port.

It's surprisingly good. One of the most fun PSN games on the system. It's ideal for pick up and play. I enjoyed this game much more than I anticipated that I would. It's ironically better and more fun then its console sequel. It looks great for a vita download game. It's got over a dozen stages, great music (most of which I admit would sound better in a fighting game), cars play differently and there's behind the car and top down camera angles that add different playability styles. It's great value, especially now that it's available for cheap. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a platinum trophy.

Initially I bought this because it was cheap and it fit easily on the 1GB internal storage on my Vita Slim. I've ended up getting a huge amount of enjoyment out of it - more than I expected. At first it seemed like there wasn't heaps of content because the Championship mode isn't super long, but it's begun to dawn on me that the Special Events give you loads more to do, most of which will become available after you win a bunch of Championship events. I haven't even tried the Drift Events yet. I would vaguely liken the gameplay to Mario Kart - a series I've dabbled in sometimes but never got totally hooked on. The different vehicles do drive differently to one another due to their varying stats. The weapon pickups and wheel upgrades give plenty of variety, and I like that some events prohibit or emphasise certain items to mix things up. There are short events if you just want a 5min session, and longer multi-round events too. I saw a review that said power-ups can only be used via the touchscreen, but in fact they are also assigned to the L and R shoulder buttons so it's all good! There is an option to buy coins (for upgrades) with real money, but I've never even come close to doing that. You can earn plenty of coins in the Championships and other events to buy upgrades. I've come across one or two bugs but they seem really rare and if anything they have made me laugh rather than caused any frustration :)

Only cost a few dollars and even if you spend 5 so ya can buy coins to upgrade from the jump it's a lot of bang for the buck. Graphics are pretty clean . I was immersed into the game. I recommend it for those whom enjoy racing games on a handheld.

Table Top Racing is a very enjoyable kart racing game, with more depth than you would expect and a nice personality.

I loved Micromachines when I was young,my Megadrive was the funniest place on **** time passed,and I grew **** there was not a game like that one.Until now. Table Top Racing for the psvita makes me feel that way.I enjoy the game a lot. It looks awesome in the Oled **** runs at **** start playing with a basic car,and with experience points and coins(you can get winning races),you can buy more cars and get access to new circuits and competitions.I would like more circuits,when you have played a lot you miss some new **** it's not a big problem. One thing that I love is that you can use both ****'s a pity that not many Vita racing games use them.There are a lot of things to play in Table Top Racing.Even online multiplayer. The price is perfect,for 5 eur. you have a great game and a lot of fun.I recommend it.

Table Top Racing does come across as being rather too easy, but as far as Vita racing games go, it is one of the most accessible, and certainly one of the most enjoyable.

This is a complete Micro Machines-rip off, but it does have some fun race gameplay and cute circuits. The multiplayer is a bit of a downer as there are not much racers online, but the single-player is definitely an awesome challenge.

This is not enough. Even as a mobile game this was rather a mediocre racer. On Vita with its hardware capabilities this is rather a disappointment.

More or less satisfying on tablets and phones, Table Top Racing does not make the weight on a PS Vita.

I find this game fun and addictive, I like that you can pick it up play for 5 minutes then put it down. I own both the PS Vita and PS4 versions. What angers me a bit is that the developers obviously didn't put any love into the Vita version, -in fact I wonder if they even played w/ a Vita very much. They treated the Vita like a phone which is not. They left all the "buy coins" prompts in and left the power up controls as a touch screen only button (when it should have utilized one of the Vita's physical buttons). This makes for less than ideal game play. I think there are little things w/ the Vita version that show the dev's laziness or carelessness when porting to the Vita.

This game reminds me more re-volt than micro machines. I love this type of fighting racer games. Smooth controls. Nice powerups (nothing new, but hey, they work fine and do the job!). We definitely need more games like this on sony and microsoft systems (nintedo has mario kart). Last time i had fun like this was on x360 with BLUR. Its cheap so You should give it a try.

This is a very solid kart racer albeit very generic and not the most polished. The actual gameplay is fun but there is nothing new here. There is a surprising amount of tracks and the game runs unbelievable smooth which Sonic racing wasn't able to achieve on the system. All the pick up powerups are everything you would expect and scream generic kart racer. The game is a bit on the slow and easy side but it is fun and relaxing. Annoying it assigns look in reverse to the back touch and there is no way to turn it off. It does have ways to pay to unlock but I found it was never needed. Sonic Racing is the better game on the Vita but this one is cheaper.
