It has nothing to do with being an English major.

It's more about being sick of seeing your native language get absolutely ****ing decimated by complete and utter morons.

Too gimmicky.

Mario Kart will have the option for whatever you want. But I still think tilt steering is intuitive and surprisingly sensitive enough. I don't really find the tilting gimmicky at all. Perhaps some of the other setups in NFS seem gimmicky and I won't argue that.

Mario Kart will be great. I'll buy it despite whatever review rating it may get (im guessing around 80%). Past MKs did not have outstanding graphics and were not highly rated by reviewers but they were always fun to play and thats what really counts.

If you expect more than that from a Mario Kart game then you are bound to be disappointed.

Just because we haven't played it doesn't mean we're not allowed to have an opinion on it.

Then maybe nintendo isnt for you. Mario Kart is the reason i bought my Wii and i cant wait to play it. Sometimes you have to appreciate the time and effort that nintendo put into these games. Besides, its gonna be a totally different experience playing it on the april 27th vs you just watching clips off it on you tube. Im sorry to say but this thread was ignorant to post especially with so many people looking forward to this game. The game isnt even out !!!!!!! Dont judge a book by its cover. that lesson can also apply in life aswell.

The graphics are gamecube standard at best, theres only one racer per car (why they would resort back to this from double dash which was so successful i have no idea), bikes seem like a bit of a high point compared to cars however based on reviews their nothing to be amazed by and there's no online stats tracking or anything like that. They have added no new twists to races other than maybe 2 or 3 new items and "tricks" which are going to become a bit repetitive and useless during a race thus seeming useless. I know some of you would disagree with me but you can't deny the fact that this ones looking dull and not the game we've been waiting for.

I think u need help badly, this game looks the best yet by far.

It wont be the best mario kart only second best... Mario Kart 64 is the best Mario Kart and always will be.....

anyways, even nintendo admitted that DoubleDash was a "failure" which is the main reason they are going back to the styles of N64 (ahem .. best Mario Kart every..)

Listen, don't worry about the game! This is Nintendo we're talking about, which almost never makes crap games. Sure, they have average games (such as Double Dash), but when was the last time that Nintendo made a game that was worse than a 5/10?
