What a horrible disappointment.
The soundtrack is nothing above poor, and the graphics are vibrant but mostly lack detail. The courses are, on the whole, poorly designed and incredibly short-lapped. There's a distinct lack of options, and battle mode is brought down by the awful arena design and unforgivable lack of bots. The gameplay is generally good, but too slow, especially now F-Zero GX is released.
This seems to mark a worrying trend for the series; this is worse than Mario Kart 64, and that wasn't as good as the original. Even Crash Team Racing, a PSOne game and a blatent rip-off, has better design in some respects. I see no explanation other than the fact that this was rushed out to give sales a boost at Christmas. Oh Nintendo? What have you done?
A shame. But these are first impressions, and I have only played about an hour and a half. Perhaps I'll grow to love it. At present however, it IS good, but only around 6-7/10.

It took me 43 mins on 50cc, 40 mins on 100cc and 37 mins on 150cc. Cup tour was a pointless invention.

I just got the Rebel Strike bonus disc (USA one) off someone on the ntsc-uk.com forums, put a wanted topic on there and someone will sell you it.
I want the ZELDA disk...
That threw me a bit as well. But OOT is a classic anyway!
I have had it for some time now, and yet, I don't have the same urge to play it as I had with OOT. Must be all the sea travel.
Since it was a demo, I didn't get much time to understand the new basis of it! Is alright so far
The Wind Waker?
What do you think of it?

I got the bundle that also came with Wrestlemania for £5 and the Zelda limited game
*Bought.
And, what else did you get?
