Angry Birds to Race in Mario Kart Styled Game

Angry Birds will be attempting to take on the Nintendo karting crown with the release of Angry Birds Go! this December.

Announced today, the new game will pit the popular birds in adorable karts for a downhill race. Throw in coins, power-ups and customisation and the similarities are indeed there. Unlike Mario Kart, however, the game will be littered with in-game purchases and advertising. Angry Birds Go! will be released on iOS, Android, Windows Phone and Blackberry 10 on 11th December.

Thanks to C3 reader Flynnie to the tip.

What are your thoughts on the game - could it cause a dent in the Mario Kart crown?
