| rocketpig said: It's pulling an 82% on GameRankings... Honestly, what do you want out of this title? It's a visually unimpressive game that's mostly a retread with some of the mistakes of Double Dash removed and motion controls added. Oh, and it has a very fun online system that is still buggered because of Nintendo's reluctance to move out of the early 90s when it comes to online play. It's a good game but it's really not that amazing. It's fun, but it's a "fun" we've all experienced many times before in previous MK games. |
I would disagree that it is mostly a retread. Snaking has been crippled, and bikes and tricks added. That changes the way the game plays very very signficantly. Each charcter also has individual stat adjustments making them all play a little different which is a first for the series. It is still a Mario Kart game of course, but it distinguishes itself quite well from its predecessors.
That said, the game is pulling a similar average that every MK game pulls on metacritic. Reviewer simply don't like a lot of the features the game has. Inevitably they all come to the same wrong conclusion that skill doesn't matter and judge from there.
