"How brilliant is Double Dash!!?"

Rapidly becoming my favourite Gamecube game this. I know it has recieved a lot of stick, especially for the battle mode, but the single race experience is second to none.

I've been playing it with a bunch of my brother's mates for the past 2 hours and I'm getting a few mates over to play it in a moment.

Ah I love it so, a true Gamecube memory.

I actually played it yesterday. :-)

That was 4 player battle with mates.

The graphics and frame rate are actually perfectly acceptable for a 4 player battle on the Block Fort, actually. I think visually it's still a fine game. There are a couple of frame rate issues on some courses, but they really don't make much of a difference.

I have played Mario Kart 64 since, got bored and went back to Double Dash!!

Much better.

Mario Kart: Super Circuit > All

It's a shame that battel mode wasn't as great, as the actual racing is second to none.

Mario Kart lived and died on the SNES, where it was one of the very best games on a system that could drown in amazing games. The N64 version was merely pretty good, and Double Dash is just an awful game and imo one of the biggest disappointments this generation (especially compared with the electrifying GC version of F-Zero).

So you prefer F Zero GX? I found that alright but I'm moving away from playing racing games right now.

I played F-Zero GX once and then never again.

Give over. I've not heard so much tosh for a long time!
DD was and is a great game. F Zero on the Cube sucked too. I bought it and it was back at the shop the following day. Extreme G 3 was better and faster!

Mind you, XGRA was awful!

I thought it was pretty good.
