The editors didn't like
It takes up a lot of space. The length and girth of the Anki Overdrive tracks means that people in smaller residencies would struggle to get much expansion out of it
The Anki app is pretty intuitive but it does stutter. It often confused new matches an
Not quite as costly as actual motor racing
But Anki ain't cheap
There's more to do here than with classic slot cars
But not a huge amount
Need phone or tablet per car to control
Frustration when the cars go off the track
At times it feels like the cars are controlling themselves
Flexible, upgradable track, Seriously clever AI, Well designed app, fun and frenetic racing

While there's still more to learn about Anki Overdrive, early impressions are strong. The customisable tracks work really well, and the introduction of new game modes and a full campaign matches physical developments with an enhanced virtual video-game ex...

Track is quick and easy to setup and take apart, Cars are easy to control, Campaign mode has fun movie tie-ins, Decent battery life considering the car size, Quick car recharging, Six different multiplayer modes, Infinitely expandable

I think the Anki Overdrive set is a great high-tech plaything for both kids and adults. You'll probably want to splurge for more track if you've got the space, and consider adding extra cars if you want to experiment with different weapons, or play 3- o...

Easy to design and set up tracks, Cars are fast and combat is a neat twist, App really enriches the experience.
