Which is better, Mario Kart series or Gran turismo Series?

I say Mario Kart. Its actually way more fun to play. Maybe its me and my tastes.

apples to oranges. But DEF. Mario Kart. I could play that _____ forever!

Mario Kart is the best arcade racer of its kind.

Gran Turismo isn't the best sim racer of its kind.

So therefore Mario Kart wins.

its really hard to compare the two... they have different goals and appeal to different tastes...

its like wondering which is better- Zelda or Soul Calibur

Mario Kart, I cant stand sim racers.

Both flop, Wipeout owns both. You get everything under one roof. Great graphics, good sound track, high speed, deep control, fun, and power ups.

Mario Kart is awesome, especially Double Dash.:)

Gran Turismo for me. Sure I like Mario Kart, but only if I have people to play with. It is boring playing solo. GT on the other hand is fun both as single and multiplayer. Plus I just like realistic more than fantasy when it comes to racing games (and pretty much any other genre for that matter).

I prefer Mario Kart by a fair margin, but it has been on a consistent downhill slide since the N64, whereas GT has remained good up until 3. For 4, well, who knows... Not like there is more than a demo out for it. It is no longer king of the racers any more, but that by no-means makes it a bad game.Shafftehr

wat?

Gt4 came out years ago, you mean gt5?

I got bored of Gran Turismo 4 in no time. With Mario Kart on the other hand, I have never gotten bored, be it with friends or when playing by myself. What I did get, however, was a load of fun.

Saying GT isn't the king of racing games is like saying Street Fighter isn't the king of fighting games.

Diddy Kong Racing

Both are arcade racers, but I enjoy Mario Kart far more.

And yes, GT is an arcade racer and will remain so until it gets damage modeling & physics. :)

Neither. Mario Kart is too kiddy, GT is too serious.

My favorite racer is PGR. Well, I started with it when it was MSR on Dreamcast.

i prefer Mario Kart, but they are completely different types of games. for real driving enthusiasts, GT no question.

I like mario kart better because I'm not a fan of realistic racers.

that is entirely subjective - it depends on which each person enjoys the most.

As far as a series go I could not choose one over the other, both have individual great games.

Super Mario Kart and Gran Turismo 3 are both among my faves.

I like Gran Turismo better

Slight edge to Mario Kart because of Gran Turismo 3's lameness.

Sim racers are pretty terrible IMO

I prefer the stuff like Mario Kart, F-Zero, and Wipeout. Its actually fun

The only GT game I played was GT3. It was good, but Mario Kart series is a lot more fun.
