Hello it's me with reveiws again, I can't find it in the database so i'm posting it here.

I hope ya all enjoy it





Finally Nintendo brings us a more than decent car bashin' game, with some neat cars, wacky characters and some nifty power ups. The game consists of four game modes, which are Quest mode: In this mode the aim is simple you must complete the mission objective, if you get destroyed or you fail your objective you loose, the mission objective will be different for every driver as this is a personal quest. Then there's the awesome Survival mode all you have to do here is to Blow the hell out of any moving objects, the game lasts until you get blown to ikle tiny pieces.

The Multi-player mode is a bit sticky but none the less good fun, you can either play the main quest with a friend, or you can play in a VS match with up to four pals. Note: You can not select the bonus levels you unlock in VS mode.

The Controls are err.. umm a bit on the clumsy side a bit, there also a bit too slow sometimes which can be annoying especially when you are in the survival mode, but if you do tend to find the controls a bit sticky you can adjust them in the options menu. But they are easy to master.

The Power ups are enough to make President bush jealous. You can even use them to do a combo attack like for example the crater maker, or the cowpunch, they don't call it the cowpunch for nothing y'know, so ya'd better watch your behind.

And the graphics spoil the game a little because they are a bit on the jerky side, and can affect the gamplay, the game also hangs once in a while, but the rest of the game makes up for the jerky graphics and the hanging.

And the levels, some of these are really spectacular like the nugget city level, ohh what a beauty I like going underneath the casino hotel the best. Some of them look a bit tacky though, but there good fun, oh did I forget to mention that the levels are totally destructible, mwhahaha!!!!

But the overall verdict is good gameplay, fast paced bashin' and cool explosions, some funny voice overs and some gorgeous lookin' cars and levels.

A bit of originality and some creativity that's what a good game needs these days.
