That kart game was genius programming, give you a few initial levels where it let you think that you're driving the kart, that you're winning because of your skills, then start the real routine of "autopilot simulator programmed to lose until you activate the paid power ups"
Edit: and I can't believe that more than ten years passed from the release of that "game", I remember I was playing it on my BlackBerry Z10, i can see why many itt are saying "always has been shitty" - just a year before they weren't shitty. Gameloft released games like "9mm" and "batman the dark knight" that for just one dollar were console like experiences. And beach buggy racing, and riptide.
