User Rating: 7 | Diddy Kong Racing DS DS
By rsnow7 | Review Date:
This game may have not been the best on the N64, so the DS update wasn't great, but it is still good. It was very fun at first, but it became boring fast. Here is the breakdown:

*************************************PROS***************************************
+New characters, even though Banjo and Conker had to leave
+Great racing controls
+Most of the seemingly endless unlockables are fun (like the sound recorder)
+Plenty to do (obvious!)
+Vehicle upgrades are nice
+THE MULTIPLAYER! (perhaps the best thing about this game)
+Graphics are good, but Mario wins this time!
+One of the better racing games for the DS!

-Terrible voice acting (Taj sure can't keep the same voice in 10 years!)
-Story is very much the same
-Island roaming makes it feel like Crash Nitro Kart (you know what I mean)
-Unlocking your 25th unlockable calls for a celebration!
-Have to do second story for just mirror mode and make Wizpig playable (spoiler)
-If you just like to race, you could be irritated at times

There you have it. If you like Mario Kart DS, then you should definitely get this game!
