What a huge disapppointment. It's so ordinary, so gimmicky, so devoid of skill, so boring and so uninspired.

I'm going to write a proper review of this game but I just had to get that off my chest.

It doesn't deserve to have the word 'Nintendo' on its box. If the Gamecube *is* the beginning of the end for Nintendo hardware then crappy, substandard games like this will be just as responsible as crappy, substandard ad campaigns.

50cc = Easy + fun
150cc = Psychotic-trance inducing.

Although not as bad as F-Zero.

And not on 50cc, where the enemies don't use weapons and you can win any race with your eyes closed and a fork up your backside.

Blank = fool


Both Wind Waker and Sunshine are brilliant games. Sure, not up to the levels of there predisesors(sp.), but they're still bloody good games.
As is Mario Kart.

Rent it and you'll see.

The first chance I got to play it was right after I bought it on my way back into school, I went to my friend's house during my 2 and half hour free period and played nothing BUT MK:DD with my 2 mates, I ruled on the battle mode in Block City becuase of my devastation tacics.

Also If I can't beat a certain Grand prix mode with one of my friends as my partner and another on his own then I don't think I could do it on my own. Especially the Mushroom Cup on 150CC's mode, I have no trouble beating the first 3 levels at either 1st or second, but when i come to Dry Dry Desert I always end up 4th or something due to those 3 almost hairpin turns before the quicksand vortex.
