Well, that kind of illustrates a point to me... I have never been a "snaker" in Kart. I play the track, drive well, use power-ups carefully -- including hitting the approaching ones as they come up behind, and control my line to stay on surfaces that don't slow my Kart. Strangely, that sort of driving is good for a win every time unless the other player is really good. I learned how to snake and frankly didn't like it. Though I don't consider it 'cheating' per se, I thought it un-leveled the playing field.
For me, removing snaking INCREASES my potential score of the game. You've said it is perhaps as much as a full point and I suspect that a half to a full point is what most of the "professional" reviewers are doing as well.
'nuff said. I'll be picking mine up in about 2 hours as it is already paid for.
I've played Double Dash hours and hours and hours.... I'll post up a mini-review when I've had a bit of time on it.
I hate trolls.
