Well, the N64 version was better, but it still remains faithful to the franchise.
User Rating: 8.3 | Diddy Kong Racing DS DS
Back in the good ol' days of the Nintendo 64, a small and unknown racer came out. It was kalled Diddy Kong Racing. However, it came out facing mixed reviews. Now, fast foward to 2007. Rare rereleased Diddy Kong Racing for the Nintendo DS. Is it good? Yes. Is it AS good as its N64 brother? Well, yes and no. I personally have spent countless hours playing that OTHER kart racer, Mario Kart. I have played it for the DS, and I liked it....a lot. With Diddy Kong Racing DS, it kind of reinforced that. In this game, there is actually a story, but I want you to find that out.
New to the franchise is Wi-Fi mode, which allows you to race wirelessly around the world against people you don't even know. This may be a worthy addition, but it doesn't change everything. It's kind of confusing racing around in an airplane, but the worst is the hoverboat, which I personally hate. However, there are plenty of races available for your enjoyment, and they're all fun. All in all, if you've played Mario Kart, give this one a try. If you didn't, well give it a test run anyway. It's worth your time.
