Reviewers it depends who it is and their bias and where they are going from.

Example if my mother played mario kart, which she did, and had a lot of fun with it she would give it a high score, which would be appropiate for people like her who dont really play games.

However if someone is used to playing rigde racer all the time would most likely point out a lot more flaws than someone like my mom, and will give a lower score for sure.

Im just saying reviewing depends on the reviewer and what games they play and enjoy depend on their scores.

 

Scores of games do not reflect the target audience and who would enjoy a game they are just numbers.

The thing is, Mario Kart offers a lot for the hardcore as well.  I've played a lot of games -- some games are too softcore for me.  For example, Halo 3 isn't any fun because of all of the auto-aiming and the simplicity of the game.  Almost anyone can jump in online and compete, or even be the best on their team after just a few matches of practice.  The game aims for you, people still manage to miss each other like crazy, and in general the level of competition is way lower than Mario Kart Wii.

You can't just jump on Mario Kart and expect to win.  You've got to be a very fast racer.  People who don't get hit much are often near the back of the pack.  If you're fast, you can get hit a lot and maintain a fairly high position.  There are many tricks to keeping fast, and racing precisely becomes essential near the top.

It's a better game than ridge racer, no question.  It's just better quality, more balanced, more competitive.
