Track editor is simple what's to read about. Haven't delved too much into it yet but it gives you a lot of freedom and you can create some massive tracks, i've made one 3 minute one so far. Handling felt a bit weird at first after playing the console one so much, but its very fun. Braking points seem dead on realistic but the car slides around a bit more. Dpad isn't as big a problem as I thought it'd be, it just gets annoying sometimes trying to straighten the car up on straights and getting through fast long turns smoothly, it can disrupt your flow. One bad thing about it compared to the PS2 version is the AI is a bit wild and weird, the actual racing / overtaking is a bit lame, and the damage is a lot more forgiving.

It's pretty fantastic how much they've squeezed into this little cartridge.

After more play I really wish this was on Wii instead, any negatives I have with it basically come down to the DS system limitations. I hope for the Wii version they get the proper dev team to make it rather than farm it down to Firebrand. Time to realise who the market leader is third parties, Wii having zero good racers even ANNOUNCED after an entire year is beyond a joke

EDIT: However, the DS only modes like Creating Tracks and Wifi are absolutely fantastic. Sucks how hardly anyone is online though, the game is flopping, only on a Nintendo system could such an incredible third party game bomb like this. You keep enjoying your Diddy Kong Racing nintards.

I have this game! Though I'm so terrible at it that I've stopped playing for a bit.

Is there a physical limit to the sadism one can create via the track editor?  That's a deal-breaker.
