How does a game thats been around for 10 odd years which really has changed at all since its release on the SNES (apart from graphical updates) get a 9/10.
I realise its a great game but i am a little sick of nintendo charging full price for a game that has been around for 10 odd years with little to no changes. I bought the MK for the SNES, N64, GC, GBA and now am thinking of getting it for the DS but at full price i think not |

Looks great but screen shots never seem to do DS games any favours until you actually see the graphics moving. Looking forward to this one but might be getting Kirby Canvas Curse if it's released this Thursday.

"with little to no changes"
Apart from 16 new courses, new weapons and online multiplayer? |

fozzie_bear, pluging the dongle into your PC will let you play over the interweb

@ blizeH
thank you for your insightful opinion - was really usefull. you may well think the games worth 10/10 but all i am saying is i dont think it is due to the fact its not really doing anythng different to any of the other mario karts. I just dont believe it should be a full price game. @ carlos i admit mario kart is a great game, but one i am trying to get across is if it is worth the full price tag and wether a game that has not changed much from its early days, deserves a 9/10. so its got wireless multiplayer, whoopidoo - not exactly innovating is it |

@chacha - "not exactly innovating is it"
So which games are? Fair enough if you only want to play "innovative" games... but I think most people just go for stuff that they will find entertaining. As such, Mario Kart fits the bill perfectly. BTW - After blagging the free £5 Play.com voucher, I got Mario Kart DS for £21 delivered :-) Not bad really. @bengalibengali - BTW - Animal Crossing:WW DS isn't out til the 6th dec according to Tronix, Play-Asia has release date listed as the 12th Dec - so you may have quite a wait before you get it ;-) |

@Chacha... welcome to the land of sequels, my friend. I might understand your complaint if all this was just a port of a previous game.
But it isn't. There's 16 new tracks, in addition to 16 tracks from previous games. There's new items, new racers, AI-controlled bots in 8-player(!) battle mode, online connectivity, a mission mode, etc, etc. There's more than enough new content to justify the full price. Even then, it's only full rpice for a handheld game, which is cheaper than regular console games. |

Chacha. I'm genuinly sorry that you can't see the 'value' in this game. Especially as you have a DS already (right?).
The GREAT thing with the DS is you have such a diverse range of EXCELENT games across lots of genres, I'm sure they'll be a game for you to play on. Many other people are very excited about this game, even at it's 'full price'... Pity... I would have thought you would be a great competitor to pwn on MK DS :) |

@ carlo
maybe one day - just need to sort out the voucher and then i may get it. I am just pissed at the price of hanheld games - still have not bought LCS for the PSP as i refuse to pay £40 quid for a hanheld game, not even 360- games will cost much more than that. but as djchump has said £21 from play.com doesnt seem to bad

Why are you "pissed" at the price of handheld games, chacha? Personally I can't see how the system a game is on is relevant as long as it entertains you.
In any case, if you shop around it's quite possible to get them cheaper, especially in the case of the DS. MovieTyme in particular are great for cheap DS games -- I've just bought Kirby: Canvas Curse from them for £17.99 for instance. |

What do Krudster et al think of the game?
I dunno which other staff members have played it, but Tom brought it round here (via the pub) to play some wireless multiplayer with my housemates, and it was fantastic fun. The selection of tracks is perfect, the handling is absolutely spot-on and the game as a whole is just another tick on the long list of reasons to own a DS, for me. Like any Mario Kart, I'd imagine that the singleplayer is dull (for me, anyway), but thanks to the online mode you never actually have to play singleplayer, which is a real value-add for me. I've not played it for long enough to write a review, but based on my experiences to date, it's fully deserving of 9/10. Then again, I loved Double Dash too :) |

Can we expect a Sonic Rush review soon? I'm actually itching to buy it!
In fact, I think I will regardless of your review! :D There's so many high-profile DS games coming out now... it's rather silly of Nintendo to squeeze them all together like this! My wallet is having seizures...
