Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and this opinion seems to have merit. The crux of their grievance with the title is that Nintendo made too many compromises in the area of how the game plays to accommodate online play and the wheel peripheral. They seem to be valid concerns about the game being dumbed down.
These are legitimate concerns for the purists. Good power sliding, and tight tracks are integral to the experience. The same way that the piss poor artificial intelligence has always been a conspicuous stain on the series. I gather from the article that the single player and party experience has been tarnished by poor power sliding mechanics, and obscenely wide tracks. Further more Nintendo is still ignoring the fact that they need to upgrade the games artificial intelligence. The real fans have been pissed by this for over a decade now. There just isn't an excuse for that.
On the other hand it appears that if your looking for a great online experience only this game probably isn't to shabby. I am curious if anyone who has played the game can tell me this. Do you think the width of the tracks makes the game too easy, or would you actually prefer tighter tracks. I would think tighter ones would be far more entertaining.
