Ymeegod, Heres a suggestion. Learn to think for yourself. You don't get far in life by being a follower. Neal can defend himself quite fine.

Neal,Yea you did, and I've read your review, but you didn't mention anything about cracks showing up after an hour of gameplay like you just mentioned. I was curious as to what cracks show up. And how is it different from MK7?

Anyways, look, I'm not trying to be a troll. I was just trying to get the reasoning behind your review, which I still haven't got unfortunately. Out of fear of becoming a troll, I will leave this site as quickly as I came, however dissatisfied I am. No hard feelings here.

Neal, you obviously have a right to any opinion but they are rushing to your aid. It is a herd mentality. But anyways, what are the cracks that show up after an hour of gameplay? Did you rate MK 7 just as low as this one? Did the same cracks show after an hour of gameplay in that one?

I'm fortunate? lol. ohhhh, noo. lol. Just because you don't know quality when you see it. And don't hold back broodwars. Let it out man. I'm a grown man, I can take anything YOU can throw at me, trust me.. But talk about about hive mentality broodwars.  A few negative criticisms about captain neal and his review and every single member of this site wants to take a shot at me. Honestly I'm tired of defending myself against you goons. So every single one of you share Neals exact same opinion of the game? I find that hard to believe. Anyway, I'm tired of you, you wouldn't know a good game if it slapped you in the face..

Ymeegod, 'sigh'....

I said it was bad timing, and that I thought it was ironic that a site with Nintendo in it's name would have given MK 8 the lowest score on metacritic.  I never said Nintendo games get a pass just because they are Nintendo games. I don't have double standards, you are wrong. I was really tough on a Link Between Worlds. I though it was over rated. But what are you opinions of the game? How come everyone here is just in agreement with Neal that this is the worst MK game in the series? Whats happening here is the definition of Herd mentality. You guys can't think for yourself and your scared to question the leader for fear of banishment.

Broodwars, I think your taking my liking the game more personal than I'm taking the 7.5 score. lol
And by the way, I don't give games passes just becouse they are nintendo games. Your preconception of me is off track.

Are you kidding me? I've played every mario kart game including this one briefly. The track design is second to none. The anti-gravity adds alot of depth to the races, and changes your usual strategy. The horn can save you from the blue shell which you can get in first place by the way. The graphics are just stunning, easily the best looking nintendo game ever. I personally like the roster, online tournaments, MK tv (to be fair I'm unsure about that). But need I continue? Becouse I can. The game is amazing, easily the best mario kart in the series.

@NWR LINDY

I didn't come here to question the integrity of the website or any reviewer for that matter. Nor did I come here to stir up trouble. I'm not trying to disrespect the site, and I'm sure you have Many knowledgable people here.  I came on here becouse I was looking up Mario Kart 8 reviews, and was happy to see it was getting great reviews across the boards. Except here. This was the lowest score and I was curious as to why. As a die hard Nintendo fan I had the right to know why one of my favorite games got such a low score. So I read Neals review and it seemed like he was a little tired of the series. So I commented on that. I am a die hard Nintendo fan, and I'm usually defending Nintendo alone in a mass of Xbots and Sonyans. I will Defend Nintendo no matter what site I'm on. Yes, even against Nintendo fans themselves. I know that makes me a fanboy, but so be it. I will stand by my opinion that a 7.5 rating is far to low of a score, however i'm not gonna continue to shove it down anyones throat. I do understand now why Neal scored it low, even though I disagree. You know, if this site is full of old school die hard Nintendo fans, technically I should fit right in.

LMAO. What a bunch of cry babies. Attack of the loyal forumers. You guys don't care what I say, your just defending Neal. He's the one taking critisism, and he's the only one who's being mature and respectful. And Marval, geez man. Your a dope.

Uncle bob, no your wrong. You don't deserve to get snotty about it. You accept someones apology and you move on. You are not older than me by your maturity from the looks of it. And I'm sure I own ten consoles older than you, not that it matters though.

NWR Karl, lol. I think you have put too much infosys on metacritic. Even more so than I. I've mentioned it, yes, but it's not the motive behind my rant. Maybe I haven't been able to fully articulate my thoughts about this review, other than to say it's bad. But I assure you it's not becouse the 7.5 dropped metacritics score.

NWR Neal, well thats really suprising. How can you like the Mario Kart series but not this one? It just blows my mind, thats all. I'm sorry I can't agree with you about giving it a fair and accurate review, but I will agree to disagree. Sorry for the inconvience, my rant is over.

broodwars, I agree. However someone who has grown tired of a series can't really give a fair and accurate review of a game from that series. Honestly I have grown tired of commenting about this review. I think I've made my point.

NWR Karl, Maybe you should reevaluate your responces, cause I never said it was NWR's responsibility to sale nintendo games. I just said it's a bad review, and a game review can be a deciding factor for some people purchasing a new game. You know, I'll never understand why so many people will defend a bad review just out of forum loyalty. A bad review is a bad review, and your doing the site a disservice by letting it slide.

Khushrenada, your going out of your way to defend this site, and this review, and it isn't neccesary. I'm glad NWR gave all those other amazing Nintendo games the scores they deserved. They should have done the same to this amazing game. About Yoshis new Island getting a 6, well I wasn't here to argue that review, and it wasn't on the same scale as this one. A six is low, should have been a 7.5. And your sarcasm about the other games not selling consoles is inaccurate. All those games you mentioned did move consoles, just not as many as Nintendo would have wished for. You would be suprised at the amount of people who decide not to purchase a game becouse of a metacritic score. Any negative review on any game impacts the sales of said video game, even if it's by a miniscule amount.

Unclebob, yes you did say it sucked. And I only own one copy of double dash. But I own four copies of hogans ally on the NES, but it doesn't mean I like it. We collectors collect, doesn't matter if we like the game.

NWR Karl, I don't believe anyone is losing thier collectives shits here, lol. I havent seen anyone blow up, just people posting thier opinion, thats all. And Im sure Neal is a good guy, he just had a bad review. It happens to Most good reviewers on the internet. Jose Otero is someone I have a lot of respect for, but man did he write a **** review of kirby triple deluxe, and I let him know it too. Hivemind buffoons huh? Why becouse people disagree with this painfully inaccurate review? So is anyone with a different view than that of the reviewer a "hivemind baffoon"? Surely you expect a little backlash when you give such a game a low score.

Broodwars, first off, I have played MK8, and your right, everbody has different opinions. Mine is that its the best one in the series. Second, I don't agree that Nintendo "royally fucked up the Wii U in every possible way". And third I wasn't insinuating anything. Look, you can defend this site all you want, that is your right. You may have been on this site for a long time and the reviewers may even be good friends of yours. I understand, no problem. I'm sure they're good people. But I just think it's a little strange that a website that appears to be Nintendo friendly, (Nintendoworldreport) would give the most anticipated game on the Wii U so far, the lowest score out of nearly fifty reviewers on metacritic.The irony is just a little to thick for me to ignore, thats all.

And Unclebob, to say that double dash sucked is your opinion. But to say that nobody played it is just inaccurate  since it sold seven million copies. I believe it actually was one of the best selling MK's considering the low sales of the gamecube.
