[QUOTE="RobbieH1234"]It's Edge, that's hardly a surprising score.Always-Honest

Scores of previous MK games (from neogaf):
Mario Kart 64 - 8
Mario Kart Advance - 9
Mario Kart DS - 8
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! - 5

yup edge sucks

Ive said it before and ill say it again, nintendo are running out of ideas and making rehash after rehash and the game reviewers are waking up to this....LoZ TP anyone?PS3_N1

Yeah, the reviewers really hated on Galaxy, Zelda, and Smash :roll:

What games do you play that are not "rehash"?

lol im kinda surprised.

Then again its the EGDE.....

I was never expecting much of MarioKart.

lol im kinda surprised.

Then again its the EGDE.....

can someone tell me why DD got a 5?Arjdagr8

If I remember correctly, they said it wasn't a racing game... lol

Im still getting it though, seeing how it got 8's and 9's everywhere else.Marth6781

That and 12 players online will be nice. Also I'm glad snaking is gone :) I know its a skill and people will flame me, but I just think its more fun without it.

wut? :|

famitsu's score of 37/40 is more reliable IMOakif22

Famitsu are famous for scoring their games on hype and fear... Fear of scoring a game low and losing exclusive news.

Edge aren't afriad to flop a game if they think it sucks or is against the grain of populer oppinion. they gave mario Sunshine a 9 and stated that it is only seen as bad because of the game it has to follow.

LOL kiddy mario kart. The real deal and the real effort by ninty is on F zero series. r_gam3

Um. Nintendo's best f-zero was outsourced to Sega and sold pretty poorly compared to Mario Kart.

Not that has anything to do with quality. F-Zero GX>All racing game, but Nintendo really don't care about F-zero.

I was wrong, they are going to flame you now :P

Either way its gone so it doesn't matter. Good decision in my opinion.

They said it wasn't a racing game anymore, it was a party game. And by their standards, it can't score high lol.

F-Zero GX is awesome, but I think I like F-Zero X a little better. Either way we should see another one soon. I could dream about 30 player racing online, but I think the racing is just too fast for online and that many players. But 30 players racing throug a cup (4 races or so) would be soooo much fun.

I dont know. F-Zero has a history of supprising people. The fact that F-Zero GX has 100 racers on the course, looks amazing and is a steady 60fps puts most recent games to shame.

You know theirs no new features in this game to really make it stand out. I'm not surprised it turned out to be average.

Brawl had an insane list of features. Galaxy had level design to make your eyes bug out. From a video and features stand point nothing about MK Wii really looks like a AAA game. Good kart racing but nothing more. Not every Nintendo game should be automatically praised.

Really dull compared to Nintendo's other offerings don't ya think? MK DS already filled the online void the series had been clamoring for so it feels like the Wii game is playing catch up to the DS. Bikes? New tracks? Hardly anything to get excited over. Unless your so easily impressed.

Just because it HAS new featuers don't mean their worth wetting my pants over. Geesh you people just can't stand any legitimate Nintendo criticism can you? MK is feeling kinda stale. Of course not to the uber fanboys, but yes to the rest of us who live outside of the mushroom kingdom.

Yeah and I think MK Wii is a pretty weak effort in that department. No different then say how Ratchet and Clank was new levels but same old thing.

Wait... were they one of the reviewers who gave No More Hereos a 9/10?

Its quite amazing to see how many people have played Mario kart Wii on these boards. shearMario

Hardly the right way to judge a game though is it.

Ive said it before and ill say it again, nintendo are running out of ideas and making rehash after rehash and the game reviewers are waking up to this....LoZ TP anyone?PS3_N1

Define rehash, because Mario kart Wii has the most features ever in a Mario Kart game.

Welcome to two years ago. When these features were pretty standard. If that is what wets your pants then I guess it doesn't take much.

I pretty much agree with you, but then you kind of have to measure Mario Kart wiis improvements next to Halo 3. the only thing really added to Halo 3 was forge but that doesn't make it a poor game.
