Been playing since 10/04 and i have to say its pretty good, not great cos it has some issues namely:
1 - Being first in GP mode is a recipe for disaster, you will be happily leading coming into the final corner when BAM all hell breaks loose and you are hit with red & blue shells, lightning anything in fact to slow you down, i went from 1st to last in no time at all if i hadn't have tied my strap to my arm i would have thrown the wheel at my tv and thats the next problem.
2 - The wheel is overly sensitive for some reason if you turn a little bit too much to the right you end up steering to the left, its very off putting so i decided to go back to a gamecube controller and problem solved, but the wheel makes a great frisbee so no waste there
3 - Multiplayer has been butchered, no longer can you play with your mates in one on one combat where you defend your last balloon with your life, now you collect points - GREAT
These are the main problems i have found so far, but all in all i am still enjoying it, especially the online races, time trials and being able to download the best lap ghosts and racing against them
I would give it 8/10
