User Rating: 9.2 | Mario Kart DS (DS Bundle) DS
GAMEPLAY: If your looking for a good game to get your DS then Mario Kart is the perfect game to get. As we all know Mario Kart is a racing game with plenty of tracks to go to and some tracks from other Mario Kart games like the popular one for the Super NES. In one player mode you can go to the 50CC, 100CC, 150CC, and eventually the mirror 150CC. Each one has its own speed so you can slowly get the hang of the game. In all you can be a total of 12 characters to be featuring people like Mario and Luigi to people like a guy called Dry Bones and R.O.B a litte robot guy who came with a game for the SNES. The tracks are nice and long with three laps apiece for every one of the except a track called "Baby Park" where you get five laps because of how short it is. The game has Wi-Fi so you can battle people all over the world or just in the United States but it takes a little too long to get 4 people on Wi-Fi but other times you get them quick. The only thing more fun then playing online is playing with people in the same room because you can also do a "Battle" mode where you get a total of five balloons but you only start out with one and to get more you acually have to blow on the screen to blow up your balloon! How cool is that? The only problem is is that finding a bunch of people with a DS and the same game and have it with them can be a tough challenge. I only have one guy (dude with the lite) who has this game, Anyway Online can be tough sometimes you can even find yourself with about 100 loses and only 10 wins but if you find someone you know who has this youll be playing games like mad. My friend and I have a total of about 80 matches. The gameplay can be a lot of fun. Believe me. There is also a mission mode where you do things like collect the coins in so much time, do the track backwards, go through the rings. There preety fun to do.
GRAPHICS: Its for the DS so its not going to have Wii graphics but there pretty good. I can see polygons in some places but its not enough to make you stop playing. There nice to look at. Nuff said.
SOUND: The sound is great. It stays true to the Mario world and you can even find the original music in the Retro mode where you can play trackes from the SNES the GBA and the GCN.
VALUE: There is tons of hours of replay value in this one. I just said earlyer that me and my friend played almost 80 games in racing and battle modes.
We usally play the same four or five trackes over and over again but there fun and we never get bored.
TILT: I had a lot of fun with this Mario Kart game and im sure anyone with a DS will love it too.
THEGOOD: good # of characters, fun online, lots of tracks to play, lots of missions to play, lots of fun to have with friends.
THEBAD: getting more than three people with this game and DSs can be a hard task to do.
