By HeedleGlavin | Review Date:
Being the first game I picked up with my DS - I carried high expectations. Thankfully, Mario Kart DS meets those expectations and blows them out of the air with flying colors.

1. Gameplay:

The gameplay is what you would expect from a Mario Kart game - however, the pace seems to have been quickened and the number of characters and karts to choose from has been expanded. There are many weapons to choose from and they are pretty self-explanatory. The game is extremely challenging on the 150cc difficulty setting, which is a pleasant change from most Mario Kart entries. The online play is easy and loads of fun.

2. Graphics:

Easily the best looking DS game when it was released. Colorful and dynamic environments make for some challenging courses, indeed.

3. Sound:

Great music and sound effects. Each level has its own unique theme and the sound effects seem right in place.

4. Value:

With the mini-games and online play - Mario Kart DS is good for many many hours.

Conclusion:

If you own a DS, pick this game up now. You won't regret it.
