I love Mario Kart!

User Rating: 9 | Mario Kart DS (DS Bundle) DS
This review is going to sound like white noise among the other praise reviews, but that is O.K. I was bummed out after Mario Kart for the GameCube. Battle was horrible, tracks were blah.

Here comes Mario Kart for the DS. Bringing back old battle maps, especially my favorite Block Fort. Has a ton of retro courses, and some amazing new courses (both battle and GP). What is better than 4 player battle? 8 player battle!

Online play is fun, that is until you play against a cheater. I stopped playing online against non-friends for that reason alone.

As with many Nintendo franchise games, there isn't much new here. This game is the same format as Mario Kart 64. I happen to be a fan of the series; so my expectations are very high when a new Mario Kart game is released.

I would give this a 9.3, but gamespot only allows 0.5 intervals.


One of the few games worth of a 9.5 rating.
