MarioKart
 

I was fortunate enough to receive MarioKart last Saturday as a present from this missus.

To be honest, i used to caine the old one when I was younger and thought that id buy the new game for 'novelty' value.

However I must say its a fantastic game, especially in multi-player mode.

Last Sunday was spent with friends racing around the tracks, turning the air blue after being hit with one of my 'friends' missles and generally having a really good laugh.

Nearly one week on and im constantly on the game in single player mode and even them the enjoyment is high although for true value you must player the game against other 'human' opponents.

Marks out of ten?  Eight

Let me know what you think of the game

I've always been a fan of MarioKart and we bought one for my daughter for Christmas. Only trouble is we had to try it out to check it's ok and I'm afraid its had some hammer ever since, it's still not been wrapped so I better go now and make sure it still works  ;)

Re: MarioKart
 

quality.

the thing is though, is the game really for your daughter's christmas or will it be you 'showing' her how to play in on xmas day!?!

;)

Re: MarioKart
 

I like the way you're thinking but it's now wrapped and I'm under orders only to help her if needed and only play if i'm asked  ;)

Re: MarioKart
 

thats a disaster - no Mariokart til Xmas Day at the earliest!!

how old's your daughter Bagpuss!?!

Could see easily 'persuade/influence' her into letting you 'teach' her to play the game?   ;D

Re: MarioKart
 

Im getting Mario Kart for my fella (ok, ok, my fella and ME!  ;) ) thanks Adi for the recommendation, i am sure he will love it too.  ;D

Re: MarioKart
 

You will love it Dizzy D, Adi she is old enough to still be influenced by her dad into letting me 'teach' her to play the game?  ;)  ;)  ;)

Re: MarioKart
 

Bagpuss is right Dizzy D, you will love the game.

Bet your counting down the hours till christmas day then Bagpuss!?!

Well i must say that MarioKart is very, very addictive! I am soooo glad i bought it now, we have been on it none stop for the past week. And it is ace that you can have more than one player, my fella, his daughter and me can all play at the same time. Good recommendation!

Yeah its a really good game - especially when their is a few people playing, it adds to the enjoyment!!

Must admit - I am a bad loser though, not that I lose very often!!! lol

Pity we can't play online Adi, I've reached a fair standard myself and would be up for the challenge, although I'm neglecting MarioKart in favour of Zelda (Wind Walker) at the moment.

Yeah that would have been a laugh Bagpuss.

Ive not bought Zelda yet - is it any good? I used to play the old ones when I was younger.

Im currently playing Splinter Cell on the Playstation 2 at the moment though.

It's excellent, i've played and completed all the Zelda series from way back whenever but this one is going to take forever, I don't seem to have as much time these days to give it my all :o(
