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.

Hah.

Your opinion.

In mine, especially in multiplayer, its probably more fun than most other games ever made.

I used to tthink that, but, after playing it for a couple of hours it grew on me, (so I played my GC The Darkness ho ho ho) it's great once you get into it, and unlock other levels. Also, I bet you haven't played 150 cc.

I thought it was rubbish at first. But then I realised how great it was once I mastered the powerslide and unlocked some of the better tracks.

Personally, I love the game. It has kept all the classic elements of the series and added a new one.

My favorite game of the moment. Fact.

I bet he only tried 50cc... after that it gets harder,more frantic and faster of course like most mario kart games its better with 4 people.
