CTR: 91%

MK64: 86%


 That's not exactly a fair comparison, those reviews were set a long time ago when most reviews were done offline.  Because of that MK64 only had 17 reviews while CTR had 2x the number of reviews.  MK64 actually had 2 reviews that were incredible outliers, gamspot and another place gave it a 64 and 60 while everyone else gave it 80+.  That skews the scores too much due to low # of reviewers.

 =/  If it was in the other way you would complain CTR only had 17 reviews and MK64 two times so much reviews...

I was gonna say that, your exactly right.  They both have enough to get a decent idea.  And this should reinforce the idea that they are at least even.  So I say CTR FTW!

Now we are talking about CTR...Do you know a site where you still can buy those figurines of CTR?

I have a lot of figurines of games and I am ashamed I have nothing of any Crash game...

I always wanted a Crash figurine in his kart (I already have one of Mario).

Mario and Crash kart figurine would be nice together :).


I wanted to buy it before but then you had to pay around 50€ for one X_X. Way to much..

 Wow, way to not understand anything about how statistics or averaging works.  Whenever you have small base sizes, it's easy to skew either really high (see Melee being around 100% with 4 reviews) or really low like in this case because of outliers.    

Regardless of which one has more or less, its not representative here. 

And for NYANKS who is obviously leaning towards anything that will favor their view, gamerankings doesn't even consider any game for official top lists unless it has 20 or more.

I'm just saying that 17 reviews is a decent amount to get an idea about a game. It's not when Brawl had three and people were calling it the best game ever. I'm sure they're close is all I'm saying. And show me an aspect of the game where MK really outshines CTR. Then we can move forward.

 Read up, general consensus is that the multiplayer battle was better than CTR.  And don't argue that you may think CTR is better than in that because at that point, you can always argue personal preferences.
