"I thought you were better than this..."

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.

Yeah... it feels as fast as a Mario Kart game... they were never that fast anyway!

As for IGN... well they're american. What do you expect?

I really don't understand who or why people started these speed issues? What the hell? In 100cc and 150cc sometimes i find the game incredibly frantic and fast paced (in other words not slow) people will find any excuse to abuse a game these days.

Yeah, the game is fantastic, and like I've been saying, it's not about speed. If it was about speed, they'd have made it faster in the first place - but it's a tactical game more than anything else, and a top quality one at that.

The problem with new games is that people arnt always happy with them because they don't change radically, personally i honestly think a bigger step up for the *next* MK is required and some improvements here and there, but in my mind MK has always been about getting the beers in and some mates over and this game seems perfect for that.

I agree with Edgy, i'm loving the game and as long as I enjoy it thats all that matters to me, IGN just don't bother with them, if you've got any sense.

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.

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 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.

It's normal MK speed

I don't have MK, so I don't know what the speed is, but if it was really ridiculously slow it would annoy.
