I got this game today.PRetty cool

Haven't got to play it much due to the fact that I had class right after, then went to dinner.

Went throuigh the first three cups in 50cc.

Gonna move up to 100cc next, and then the world.

Co-op is cool. But a lot of communication needed.

Dylflon · 11-19-2003, 12:56 AM

Got it today.

Single player is not nearly as fun as the co-op grand prix. That's so much fun. And it's easier. So it's nice to have someone to play it with. I play it with my little brother, We are a super team.

Here's the stuff you can get

~~Spoilzorz~~~

It's mostly just extra Karts but you can get two extra battle levels. Luigi's Mansion and this crazy tilting one.

The secret characters are Toad, Toadette, Boo and Petey Pirhanna.

I will go and get the game tomorrow. I couldn't get it today because when I arrived at the store they hadn't opened the box and wouldn't be able to sell the game till 3:00pm. Well, I couldn't stay there for two hours 9my granfather was waiting for me) and there was no way they (my parents) would get me there again. I couldn't do anything but to leave it for tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll ahve much work to do and will only be able to play for a short period of time. Not only did they get it one day late but I have to wait another day. I really hate these last days of class, all the teachers give the most homeworks and stuff now. I'll check it out tomorrow and see which review was the one that the game fairly deserved.

I got the game yesterday (Tues). I got really friggin lucky that the EB had a few extra copies of the ones with the demo discs because I forgot to pre-order the game

He called 2 people to make sure he could give me a copy with the demo disc since there was a couple extra's left.

So when I got it home, played the demo disc for about 15 minutes, then played MK for about a half hour, then had to go to bed since I work at 9:30pm so I have to be up at 7:30 to catch the damned bus. So from about 1pm-1:45pm or so I played it, then went to bed. 5 hours of sleep feels great

But MK is pretty fun so far. Can't wait to play it more

(Along with Mario&Luigi Superstar Saga which is gonna kick ass since I liked Paper Mario and Mario RPG)

Im debating whether to pick it up or not. What do you guys think, worth the buy?

GameKinG · 11-19-2003, 08:14 PM

50cc is easy, 100cc and 150cc can be difficult. Harder than previous MK games.

GameMaster · 11-19-2003, 08:42 PM

I just want to make sure everyone knows I still don't have the game.

I'd also like to make a correction to Dlyflon's post regarding secret characters. Dylflon stated one of the secret characters is Boo when it is actually King Boo.

Both King Boo's and Petey Piranha's special items are random, it could be any of the special items.

More to come soon.

Dylflon · 11-19-2003, 11:55 PM

It really shines in co-op. And it's awesome that when you go head to head (two teams with two players) if one team comes in first you can still unlock items.

So far I've beaten all the 50cc, all the 100cc and the first two 150cc.

150cc is crazy hard. Good thing my brothers is good at throwing stuff.

CrOnO_LiNk · 11-20-2003, 01:24 AM

Got the game yesterday, and for those who want more info on it here's what I have to say...

Single player still has the same 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc. There are 3 original cups with 4 levels each. There is also a secret cup that I have not unlocked yet. You can unlock that if you beat Star Cup on 100 cc. 1 player in my opinion isn't that great, but still alright...

Multiplayer is where this game gets fun. Battling and racing is awesome. Playing 2-4 players (especially 3 or 4 players) is very fun. You'll see you and your friends screaming over a race or a battle. It's fun. There are 3 battle modes. One is the oldschool baloon battle, there is a Shine Stealer battle where you have to get the star and run (it's basically like a game of tag), and lastly there is a bomb battle. The bomb battle is a match where you can only use bombs and attack eachother. You'll see it when you play it.

You can either play multiplayer races together or against eachother. When you play together, one person gets on the back seat and attacks people with his punches and items the driver gets while driving. While driving together, you can switch who drives and who atatcks by pressing Z. (for 2 players, both players have to press Z to switch).

The other multiplayer race is just like the other Mario kart games. You race against everyone in Grand Prix.

Now for the items... Items are really cool. Each character has their own special. For example, Bowser has a big Koopa shell he throws and attacks a whole area. Mario has red fire balls, DK has extra bannana power, and etc... Most of the items are the same, but there are a few different.

So that's about it.

And in my opinion, the bonus disk isn't really that good, but I have yet to try out Sonic Heroes.

Jonbo298 · 11-20-2003, 01:51 AM

The first level on the Sonic Heroes demo is damn fun. Almost the whole time its fast paced which is what a Sonic game is supposed to be. But the second level on the demo is kind of meh.

But yeah, I agree that the demo disk isn't as great as it was hyped to be (ie: Pre-Order MK and get this great demo disk!). *gasp* Jon has said something bad about Nintendo/Nintendo game

But I played the all the demo's and most are good.

But MK: DD is pretty good. I haven't had the chance to play Multi yet since I don't have enough friends over yet who can play the game with me.

Blackmane · 11-20-2003, 02:24 AM

MK: DD is a great game. I have gotten to play it with some buddies of mine at school. Playing wht four different carts is great, but playing 2 on 2 is better. It gets you so pumped up.

The absolute best thing, however, was having the game on a LAN with 2 other machines. We played a full Grand Prix with 12 people, 2 on each cart, for a total of 6 carts. It was so much fun and completely insane. Let me just say that if you haven't played a LAN game, you are missing out on TONS of fun. Hundred times better than normal multiplayer. The fights for 1st place were so intense, my blood was boiling. My partner was really good, so we did really well.

BTW, Rainbow Road is a lot better in this one than in the 64 version. It's much more difficult.
