Wipeout Pulse is the other good handheld racer featuring weapons, and it has far less online weapon customization than this Mario Kart.
So your previous postTrue
was an inconsistent hyperbole since you love Pulse on PSP.This type of shit would not be accepted in any other modern racer, kart or otherwise. Almost all racing games today feature a vast array of customizable online modes, able to be tweaked to the tiniest detail. I didn't even expect THAT of Nintendo, and they still managed to scratch the most bareboned implementation possible and still fucked THAT up. If you think that's being a drama queen, then yes I believe it's company worship.
No game can be perfect, yes, but I'm not expecting perfection. I am expecting simple parity with the barebones we should expect from online racers these days. That's the problem here... you guys think this is complaining about a little ignorable thing or something. This is complaining about something even shovelware devs do, but somehow Nintendo can't. You think this isn't related to "spit and polish", when it is IMMEASURABLY so.
Also, you obviously don't know me. I cry "no sale" to a vast array of titles which fail to meet basic standard requirements. We may disagree about what those are, but no one can say I let shit slide.
Debatable: regarding customization as a whole, Mario Kart offers cars modifications, different paths in courses and weapon selections that greatly impact gameplay. All these, craftly balanced together, offer more variety to Mario Kart IMO.although its customization everywhere else is way, way larger than this.
Now let's see what audiences think of it.Not really surprised by the awesome scores. Nintendo delieved their one-two punch.
I will Luigi's Mansion the SHIT out of this!
Mario Kart will fire a red shell at your heart
still-insanely-playable Mario Kart 64
banana-skin-chucking pack
the intimidatingly mighty lucky 7
If this is stagnation, though, I'm happy to ride along with it, slinging out fireballs as I go.
The review was positive, but man is it tough to read with a straight face:
I understand adding flavor to a review, but it still reads like a 7th-grade book report.
I mainly play games as single player experience, would this game still be worth it? I mean, whenever a friend of mine is visiting, we usually play 2 player Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (it's all about skill here) or Super Smash Bros. Melee, but I was kinda disappointed with Mario Kart Wii (though I guess that's only because they screwed up the Grandprix mode for multiplayer) and I don't play games online so Mario Kart DS wasn't very good either.
Now Mario Kart 7 I would only play as a single player game, because I don't play online, so would it be worth it? Sounds like the best Mario Kart, but I'm not that hyped :/
so will there be the mission mode from mario kart ds?
As only a single player game, I don't think this will be worth it, unless you like the idea of racing the Grand Prix again and again and again.
Dammit this game has a Wii vibe to it.
I need it now!
I do that all the time with Mario Kart DS, and mission mode, and singleplayer battles when I lack a wifi connection. Still fun.

It just struck me that Mario Kart 64 was the first Nintendo game I ever played. I have played all of them since of course and it is one of a few game series that whenever a new one comes out I just have to play it. Apart from a couple of online matches on the DS iteration I have only ever played it single player and have loved every minute. So I cannot relate to the "if you don't play it online/multi-player then it is not worth playing" stance. I too will hoover this up like nobody's business in single player and I might, just might give the online a go too!
I will Luigi's Mansion the SHIT out of this!
"If MK7 is so brilliant, though, where's that fifth star? I'm withholding it because . . . it doesn't make any major advances. The 3D is excellently done, but totally disposable (in fact, you probably will dispose of it before you get your first cup)."
Had no idea Retro was working on this.
U.S. review embargo is up.

Mario Kart 7 is as derivative as a game can get, and while we pour scorn on so many other games for rehashing themselves, something tells me this will get a free pass from many critics and gamers. That strikes me as ironic since Mario Kart 7 is the one game I'd hold up as the least deserving of any kind of leniency. It being an unadventurous and predictable retread, however, is only half of Mario Kart 7's problem. The other half is the fact that it's a lethargic and mundane game, easily outpaced by games that could be considered knock-offs of the formula Nintendo itself perfected.
Mario Kart is in need of a severe shake up. This stagnant, crawling, and indolent effort is not it.

Thats absurd.wtf...
wtf...
But he thinks MW3 is so freshhhhhh. I'm not saying MW3 is a bad game at all, but if MK is too derivative and that justifies such a low score, shouldn't the same idea be applied to another franchise that doesn't seem to change much from iteration to iteration?
