It seems I have over-estimated some of you. Only the minority, but enough to disappoint me.
"Mario kart has cwap gwaphix and the moosik is pants"
If you don't like the game, fair enough, but there's no need to make up BS reasons as to why.
It's a top class game. The music is quality, even if it is as IGN say, midi. It doesn't sound crap, it provides jingles that even I've been humming along to whilst playing, and suits the game well. After all, what would be the point in an orchestral soundtrack to a Mario Kart game at this stage?
As for the graphics. They do exactly what is required - providing top quality cartoon-style graphics that suit the Super Mario series so well.
And the speed? Sure, its not as fast as F-zero, but Mario Kart games have always been about using the items, not speed, to win races.
Again, if you don't like the game, I have no problem with that. But unless you really want to cause arguments over petty things, think before you spout crap.

I've found no problem with the speed at all. Don't know what people have been talking about.
Edgy = god
I played it in HMV and on 100CC thought it was a bit slow. But I'll have a good thorough playtest when I recieve it next week.
Complaints in relevance to speed and F-Zero are ridiculous.
F-Zero is ALL about speed, not like Mario Kart at all.
Both games rule, and I want to get MK so I can play it mooorrree!

I don't have MK, so I don't know what the speed is, but if it was really ridiculously slow it would annoy.
It's normal MK speed
I can almost see why some people who have never played Mario Kart before may find it slow but im very used to it.
I have F-zero for speed and sleekness and Double: Dash!! for character and for the sheer fun of it.. which is what its all about. I think Double Dash is a brilliant game which handles perfectly and is set at a speed which is at a suitable level.

Who's been saying this?
Surely you're not referring to me, Edgy? Though, by the way you put it, you're most probably referring to some newbie-spammer, I feel I should justify myself by saying I only put forward a reasoned argument which said why I was disappointed.

I did read you reasons for disliking it, but your wording sounded perfectly reasonable as a well thought out opinion.
However, I have read (on here and various other places) terrible arguments about the game, hence this topic.
IGN are the worst though. They're getting like Edge. They can't enjoy games.
