| Zekkyou said: I have to admit i'm somewhat sceptical that what the Deluxe edition offers over the original is the difference between a game being ranked (at least on metacritic) in the 600s versus the 90s, but i seem to be the minority in thinking that :p |
I think maybe a different perspective might help via four questions:
1. How could it be improved? (the main problem in the original that generally lost it 1/10 or 1/5 depending on the scale was fixed)
2. Are there better kart racers available?
3. Are there any technical problems?
4. Are there any kart racers even remotely close that are also portable?
The main thing reading the reviews is that, unlike the previous ones, reviewers are having trouble finding anything to criticize. At this point the only thing people seem to point to is the comparatively simple online multiplayer system, but even that saw some improvement from the original.
With all that in mind, it's not that hard to imagine it rose ~5 points on metacritic.
