I like the fact that each character has his/her own special item. Very fun. So far Bowsers and Baby Mario's rule. HAven't tried the others. Graphics are smooooooooooth and crisp.

Plenty of animations, funny sounds, classic MK gameplay but tweaked for gamecube, and I haven't even played multiplayer yet!!!

Great game, everything I expected and more! Bowser rules!!!!!!!
What about Yoshi? What about Yoshi? Sorry, he's just always been my fave MK character. So... what about yoshi?

Ha ha! Bowser was my favorite in the N64 version and bobcat proclaims that he's very good in the Gamecube version, excellent.

Very good GS review. They actually addressed their complaints, other than IGN, who just whined for the whole review.

I see it like this...


Gamespot's reviews are consistantly lower than that of IGN. So, given that GS gave MKDD a 7.9, that really means that IGN's score is 8.1

Fran probably just couldn't get his tampon out that day or something.

But hey, both are allowed their opinion of a game, and I don't really care what they gave it. I'd have bought it and had just as much fun with the old style MK gameplay if IGN gave it a 5.



Who's warp piping this bitch?

Yea...I really dont see IGN's score as that big a deal. If I remember correctly Mario Kart 64's reviews werent all that hot either...and the framerates were bad, graphics werent too hot, ect....but its still the best racer ive ever played. Plain and simple.

More spoiers:-



















Gamemaster---> Bowsers special rules. Massive spiked shell. I never like the fast accelerating chars. THey are for the newbs. The real experts use the heavy chars for best speed overall and slow acceleration. And I've always used Bowser/DK.

Nemesis----> haven't used Yoshi yet. I'll let you know as I play more.


Dark Samuri-----> He was prolly the most popular char in N64 and SNES version (Toad) but so far no Toad


The best thing about this game is that you can mix and match. In the instruction booklet it explains how you can do this. For example you can have Bowser, and Yoshi in the DK kart. I don't know if this means you get different specials or not.

And finally for everyone just because other ppl review this game low, doesn't make them wrong. It's their opinion and if that's what they think , then that's what they think. I don't agree with the 7.9 review, but you have to understand that different people like different things, and they must have thought this game was above average, so just accept that.

I'm just puzzled as to why it was changed from a 9.5 to 7.9 by IGN?? I remember seeing 9.5 I'm sure. Did anyone else see this???
