I'm sorry, but that's like refusing to buy a Soul Calibur game after II just because Link, Heihachi, and Spawn aren't in any of them.

What if they add Baby Park later on? For free of course, knowing Nintendo (Nintendo has given out DLC before, never charging for it)

I don't know if Nintendo will do that, though. It just makes too much sense for them to do it.

Oh man, could it be? two big Nintendo games flopping at the hand of the same guy? This could be even worse than the Skyward Sword fiasco.

PhazonBlazer
Three laps per course for regular courses. Some courses like Baby Park have more laps (5 or 7), some have only 2 laps, and some are just point to point race courses, with no laps.

Haven't been hyped for a Mario Kart since...Mario Kart 64, i mean don't get me wrong, i highly enjoy the franchise and the DS game was really good, however this isn't a franchise i get hyped for...but, Mario Kart 7 does looks amazing.

This 'Hype Race' between AAE hype and AAAE hype is incredibly interesting, and sort of fitting considering Mario Kart is a racing game :P Does anyone else think AE hype will use a Blue Shell and get ahead of both AAE and AAAE hype at the last moment?

One giant flop was enough, but I seriously hope people are smart enough to vote AAE for this game.

All that's good about the previous Karts, distilled and mixed with a trillion ideas of its own.

Mario Kart 7 reflects that, in its title and in its design: it's robust, but it lacks some creative effort on Nintendo's part.

It's possible. But I think what might save this from that 7.5 is the fact that it doesn't have motion controls which Mc Shea isn't a fan of. Well it does have gyroscope but it's optional and not the main way to control. Also the online sounds pretty robust which should help. AAA? not so sure. More than 7.5? I think it will.

I'm surprised by the Eurogamer review. Normally I'd say an 8 at EG would mean a 7.5 on GS. However, I think it will fair nicely here, given the online aspect. The community is bound to explode, and I think it will be recognised for that.

With recent reviews, I think it might have a fair shot at scoring an 8.5 here after all.
