Mario Kart really shows Nintendo's wonderful videogame capabilities. W
I bought this game after my friend suggested it to me with the words, "amazing", "must-have", and "so fun!". I finally got the game and realized that it lived up to its hype. You start by racing on Grand Prix where you can unlock new characters and karts if you win gold cups. I have found myself absorbed into this game even after two hours of the purchase. The graphics are totally realistic and after awhile of the headphone surround-sound, you even forget that you're at home! You hear the engines and the occasional blasting bombs. Where else can you use turtle shells or even transform into a rocket and speed to victory? This is one of Nintendo's greatest achievements yet. There are also multiplayer options so you can play with people over wi-fi or with people who don't have the cartridge on a local network. Buying this will not be a mistake. Nintendo really went all the way this time. Good job, Nintendo!
