Shellshocked
By ChrisBarraclough (15 reviews) from London , 25 May 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
If you were a deprived child like myself, the only toy you had to play with when you were a child would have been a ball-and-cup. Simply flick the cup and catch the ball in it. Don't worry, the ball's on a string, so even if you've got the hand-eye coordination of a gorilla on smack you'll eventually manage it. And when you do, you can take a bow in front of your imaginary friends and then repeat the whole tragic procedure until your muscles atrophy and you soil yourself.
But if you actually had a friend, and that friend had parents with cash to blow, you will have bypassed the ball-cup shenanigans and instead played Mario Kart on the Snes. You will have experienced that special moment that only Mario Kart can bring, where you're bearing down on the finish line and your mate is slightly in front. You've got no hope of catching him/her up - until, that is, you drive through the final set of crates and find yourself in possesion of a red shell, which you immediately launch right up his/her a**e. And then you scream past him/her and joyously inform him/her that he/she can eat your dust. Or maybe something a bit ruder if you were from up North, like myself.
Mario Kart DS is the same package as usual - classic tracks and some new ones, the usual power ups and tournaments, and multiplayer capacity via wireless/internet. It's as random as ever, and it doesn't involve adding numbers together or stroking ponies like most frigging DS games these days. If you own a DS, this is one of the few games that justify the purchase. If you don't, then back to the balls and cups for you...

Mario Kart Is (Read on)
By MohamedMan (2 reviews) from Peterborough , 24 Dec 2009Personally, I think mario kart ds is a great game and i would recommend it to everyone. It is challenging, exciting, and can make u scream in anger when u lose. Its mission, well lets say tom cruise would find them hard. I would buy this game if it was cheaper As for the defrenciation of characters, i would give a 4/10. Graphics 7/10 Fun 9/10 so all in all is 20/30- Was this review helpful to you?
