User Rating: 5.9 | Diddy Kong Racing DS DS

Actually, it's the same game that i played on N64, a racing game, a Mario Kart wannabe. Nothing new about what we've seen before.

There's a new balloon system on the game, where if you pop 2 different balloons (having the 1st balloon item on your inv. of course) you won't lose the 1st item.

There are a few other new modifications, like the removal of silver coin challenge, which really takes out the challenge of the game, and the vehicle modification and new game characters.

I bought this game hoping a sequel, or at least good new other changes, the game being just a modification of the old one really disappointed me, i only think it's good to have a N64 game on a portable console, and see how much we've improved on technology, but i don't know if that's worth the $$
