Mantis Burn Racing is a fresh and addictive driving arcade. Although it doesn´t ring with originality, it beautifully revives an old game recipe. Racing with "toy cars" is still immensely fun and nerve-wracking. It is a pity that there are some unnecessary issues.

A really solid top-down racer that not only looks great but comes with a great variety of modes and challenges.

In the end, Mantis Burn Racing manages to bring effortless controls and a superb handling model, while being an enjoyable skill-focused racer that gets by just fine with its lack of funky weaponry that often features in these top-down racers. Mantis Burn Racing inhabits an area of gaming that is rather mundane in its selection, and while it’s not the greatest racing game to come out this year, and its online suffers from a lack of players, it’s a solidly made top-down racer with a lengthy career mode and fun multiplayer that I can recommend it for for people who enjoy this now currently niche part of the genre.

Mantis Burn Racing isn’t bad by any stretch of the imagination. It’s just that with the dozens of others games vying for my attention, I really never felt like I wanted to boot it up. There isn’t that pull to keep you coming back for more.
