Great Game, Great Buy, Great Racing!!

I have been waiting for this game for a while and I am not disappointed one bit. The character creating is outstanding, and you unlock more of the items in the career mode by winning races, and other things like drifting points and drafting points. The Mod area is great, because you can see the top 3 rated created Racers and top 3 Karts, which you can download right there. The A team van was amazing!! The difficulty is the racing is harder then most but that atleast makes it challenging. Its nice to actually have smart AI which most racing games do not have!! You have to drift in the game and draft because yes it can be frustrating when you are close to the end and get hit with lighting, but if you drift and draft you can block those pesky people trying to stop you from winning. Really it is like a game of chess, but with rockets, lighting and other weapons. This is one of those arcade style games that you can always come back to and play...if you want a great game that is lots of fun get this one it will be well worth it!!
Now I understand people are complaining about load times, the only times it really bothers me is when I am in career mode and it takes me to the creation station, thinking that I want to modify either my Kart or Mod and I don't. I would rather it just let me choose if I want to go back or not instead of just sending me there. Now I do know that there is a patch that is going to fix the load issue so it doesn't bother me that much!!! Enjoy playing!!
