Between 80-85, I think.
Professional reviewers will deduct points for it being too kiddy, too colourful, not sporting 4k tesselation teraflops, nor featuring a sandbox overworld set in 22nd century New York City. The lack of a deep and dark mature storyline will be a point of complaints as well. Also, Nintendo is stupid 'cuz they made MK instead of F-Zero, which would've been smarter.

Something tells me I'll be disappointed again when reviews come out. I know I shouldn't care, but it's stronger than myself lol. Mario Kart is one of the few games I buy regardless of what reviewers say though, I know I'll have fun with it.

Not that I'd ever listen to Gamespot reviews by the way.

By the way, am I the only one who wants a story mode for Mario Kart instead of the normal Grand Prix mode? Kinda like how Crash racing did, I loved those games as well. 

MK8 should have better online than 3D World. If it looks and plays significantly better then it will probably get a higher score, especially since graphics and online have become so important as of late.

It will be low 80s probably, maybe high 70s. Mario kart has never had amazing reviews.

You think it will be the highest rated Mario kart game ever? P:

Call me an optimist but MK8 has a lot of hype behind it so I think its plausible.

88%

^How did you get Gamespot's Mario Kart 8 review already? lol

Mario Kart Wii got some surprisingly low scores and averaged 82, so I'm expecting around that for this one.

84 maybe 85
