Mario - I agree with you..it takes time to get into MK DD , when i first got it , I was like " Jeeezz why is this game sooo hard , why cant i beat 100cc well now i know..its really a trial and error game , you need to learn how to shave 1000th off a sec on every vorner..you need to learn how to block items and how to powerslide , thats when the game kicks off.

Mario: I tried. I just couldn't find a distance indicator. Means I drop the damn things a few seconds too early.

Yeah its hard to get the hang of it but c'mon I cant really find a fault in this game. Its really that good , and i have just started the time trials and all I hve to say is that Babay Park is A CLASSIC

That sign that tells there's a shell behind me has saved me countless times. And it really don't metter how far it is, if you drive straight forward and drop the banana or throw a shell behind you it will hit it.

What I think is very annoying and very fun at the same times are those blue shells, they were in N64 version, but if I recall correctly in MK64 they could miss, but this time I have never seen it miss. Once I was on the finish line and then that thing hit me and I lost.

But then again when I am on second or third place, and just can't catch the leader, it is sooo fun to see that shell fly above me, GO SHELL, GO! HARHAR!

I never recall the N64 ones missing, either, though occassionally, and I mean very occassionally, they'd hit a wall. But that's it.

The Gamecube stage sounds fun. Anyway, the N64 battle mode levels were far from spectacular, but they were still a blast to play on. I remember that my favorite stage was Skyscraper, but that I'd rarely get to play it because everyone else hated it so much, because they fell off so often. Whatever. This game looks to be very good.

EGM's review is online HERE

QUITE the contrast from other establishments.

Berny · « **Reply #733 on:** November 16, 2003, 04:41:29 PM »

Is EGM incapable of giving a perfect score? If any game deserves it it is MK. WW too. NO flaws. Both are beautiful.
*remembers I don't have DD yet*
OK, so MAYBE I'm not the best authority on MK, but who here has any problems with WW? ("I DONT LIKE TEH KIDDIE GRAFIX!!!" is not a problem.

Berny: Wind Waker is easily one of my favorite games ever created, but it wasn't too challenging and the Triforce Chart hunt was no more than a scavenger hunt to artificially lengthen the game- a few of my friends still haven't beaten the game because it was too boring to search for every chart, get every chart translated, then search for every Triforce piece. It's still an amazingly great game, but it's not without its flaws.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #735 on:** November 16, 2003, 04:48:24 PM »

It's also missing a dungeon (or two), missing a REAL 1st dungeon, and had non-life-threatening enemy combat.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #736 on:** November 16, 2003, 04:51:51 PM »

I say that there are absolutely no flaws in Wind Waker...As I've said in the past, I have no problem with an easy game as long as it's fun...I have no problem with the amount of sailing you have to do...I had no problem with the Triforce quest...According to my rating scale Wind Waker has reached a level of perfection that hasn't been touched since LttP...But of course, this is the Mario Kart thread, so why in the world are you talking about Wind Waker! *shakes fist*

Berny · « **Reply #737 on:** November 16, 2003, 05:18:58 PM »

Although I wholeheartedly agree, Bill, I digress. My apologies. (Back on topic...) As I mentioned in another thread I get MK: DD a day earlier than everyone else cause I'm cool like that. Be jealous....NOW! Here is where some Aussie will be like, "Berny, I've had DD for 5 months already. YOU should be jealous of ME!" This is true. Every murder in Australia committed since DD's release was done by me in retaliation. MWAH HA HA!

i have had MK:DD for like a WHOLE few days, it's so old now, almost considered last generation

TAKE THAT NTSC LAND, WE GOT A WHOLE ONE GAME BEFORE YOU! PLEASE DON'T THROW THINGS LIKE MARIO RPG, CHRONOTRIGGER AND SOFORTH IN MY FACE

In my opinion, if you want perfection, look at Ocarina of Time- there is not one thing I don't like about that game. Majora's Mask only built upon it, and that's why they're my 2 favorite games of all time while A Link to the Past and Wind Waker are 3rd and 4th.

And the game is undoubtedly FUN, but it's not challenging in any way, and for a game to be truly perfect I need to feel like I acomplished something by the end, instead of feeling even a retarded monkey could have beaten it. The Triforce quest, I thought, was the biggest flaw in the game- I still liked exploring the overworld, but all the while I couldn't help but feel like Nintendo could have easily spiced it up.

Berny · « **Reply #741 on:** November 16, 2003, 05:29:42 PM »

I liked that OOT was so glitchy but....MARIO KART!

Hello to everyone. First post here. Well, today is the day that MK: DD will be released and I'm friggin frustrated. I'm very confused with the whole love or hate reviews this game has been getting. After some thought I've decided after already reserving the game that it is worth buying. The question I have for all of you who have the game is when I go into Funco Land today should I get my copy of MK: DD or should I buy Viewtifull Joe?

PIAC · « **Reply #745 on:** November 17, 2003, 08:24:57 AM »

http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages4/516710.asp

you decide, number of 'bad' reviews so far is 2 (7.9 isn't really that bad) number of reviews over 90% is 15, if you liked mario kart 64 you will like double dash.

get both ;P

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #746 on:** November 17, 2003, 08:32:50 AM »

Ack! Don't post such tripe such as gamerankings! What matters most is if you enjoy the game for what it is, and not off the childish rants of wannabe gamers...

Yep...but that does not mean im bored with it , i have been playing time trials so much.

Baby park. 1.10.854 beat that .

I got some other ones but have not been able to p[lay the game as much as I would have liked..in my opinion BEST GAME EVER!!!

P.S..WW was a great game , near perfect but to me the last 2 dungeons were just rushed , they werent puzles but chores and the sailing got tedious.

blackfootsteps · « **Reply #748 on:** November 17, 2003, 11:00:11 AM »

I got everything gold except: star cup on mirror. And I didn't bother to finish all tour mode on 100cc and 50cc way too easy

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #749 on:** November 17, 2003, 05:27:15 PM »

Yeah, you don't get any rewards for finishing All-Cup on 50cc and 100cc anyway
