Discovering Mario Kart

I have never really been a fan of racing games. Nothing against the games themselves, but I just sucked so badly that I never really tried any of them for more than a lap or two.
A little less than a month ago, on a game fair, I bumped into Mario Kart DS.
I was just moving around the DS consoles and when I saw that one available, I decided to give it a try.
My first reaction when I saw it Mario Kart DS was: oh, no! But since I am not a quitter, I went for it. How was not my surprise to discover the funny and cool game that it is. I didn't even feel the pressure of it being a racing game.
In fact, it made me even change my opinion about the style that has become my second favorite since then (fighting games are still my cuties, in case you might be curious).
Shortly, Mario Kart DS is for all ages, for all skills and its different game styles offer a long time game play.
After all, it is MARIO!!! ;-)
