that is weird. ditty kong racing sucked. :P
this one has gotten 8's because its single player ai isnt the greatest. (which i dont care about, only gunna use single player to unlock everything) and because they think its snuffed down to be more noob friendly. which it kinda is...
however the noob friendly part is only for now... just as people started taking advantage of power slides in the other mk's, they will find something to replace it in this. most likely the trick system will be abused and will replace 'snaking' so the skill will get back into the game. all competitive games find a way to be more skillful.
DS version is the best so far... and this one seems to be a pretty major step in the online area. with the speed of double dash and the competitiveness of the ds's online play, and what many reviews are saying some of the best tracks ever.... this one could get pretty damn addictive.
