I imagine this is a good game, but I can't say right now because it still hasn't even shipped. It looks great so I'd say buy the game, just not from Amazon.

Great game, but grand prix mode too easy.

I bought a Game Cube because I heard this game came out. I was a HUGE fan of the original.

I'm not an expert racing player by any means. The play and graphics are amazing, but after getting the hang of the tracks, I was able to win every GP race in this game in a few hours. I like the concept of the All Star series, but they need to make the GP mode a little more challenging.

amazing graphics compared to mario kart 64

I'm mainly interested in the time trial qualities of this game, and have to say that it was a bit of a disappointment. The reason is that this is a much simpler game than its forerunner, MK64. That game, releasen in 1997, was unique in that it had an extremely long learning curve. You could play it for years, and still find yourself improving, which means that the game is still very much alive. I don't think that will be the case with the new game.
The basic technique for fast driving is the miniturbo, a speed boost produced by setting up a slide and at the same time toggling the stick rapidly from side to side. What makes this really tricky, is that you have to use it to steer also, so it's a highly complex maneouver. Now this is much easier to master in the new game, but then the possibilities of developing the technique to more subtle levels seems to be missing. This means that you'll probably max out much sooner - and then the game is dead as far as time trialling is concerned.
This said, the game still is a lot of fun. And even if it is easy to master compared to MK64, it is by all means quite a challenge.
For time triallers it has some annoying features. Most important:The replay function is useless. It is a jumble of different camera angles, and has no value if you want to to look at it to learn what you did right and what you did wrong. Also it has no clock, so you can't use it for taping your PRs for validation, if you're really into serious competition. The screen showing your lap times disappears automatically after a few seconds, so you can't take down your lap times, which many time triallers like to do.
Now the old game was pretty perfect in this respect, and I really wonder why Nintendo changed that setup. No serious player would have told them to do what they have done, had they bothered to ask.

One Heck of a Mario Kart Game!

This has to be the best game on the cube. It has all the things I liked about the first Super Mario Kart for SNES, and much much more. It also seems a lot more fun to play than the one for N64. I should warn you that lots of things are different than the N64 version so it isn't going to please N64 die-hards who want an exact sequal, but on the other hand, those changes make it about twice as awesome. Start on the easiest circuit and work your way up for days of enjoyment. Just when that enjoyment ends you get the fun of trying to race any track fast enough to unlock the secret staff ghosts (semi-transparent ghost racers of the game staff racing their best), and when you have unlocked a staff ghost you get the extreme challenge of beating them for another week or more of entertainment( and frustration). No one should be without this game (and I usually hate racing games).

Mario Kart to the Max

This game is so cool I'm glad I diden't order it yet because the Bonus disc just came a couple months ago. Here is the diffrence between the N64 one and the GC one.

N64-The tracks were really cool but the graphics are worse of course.Their are less charactors but the battle mode is defenetly better then the ones in the GC version.All the karts are the same and only one person drives the kart and throws the items.

Gamecube-The tracks are better and the graphics are better. Their are more charactors and diffrent karts also. you can also win karts by beating diffrent things. Instead of one person their is 2 people in each kart. One person drives and the other person tosses cool items at people to stop them from winning the race. The battle modes arent as good in this one.

I would buy both of them. And if you have a brother or sister or someone to play with get 3 people. 1st player drives with a computer on the back and players 2 and 3 race with eachother on the same kart. This makes it much easier to beat the tracks.

Simply amazing...

I bought this game a couple of days ago and I can't stop playing...I love the beatiful graphics and I love the character selection. I highly reccomend it to any person of any age. The multi-player is also very fun if you have friends that come over a lot. I do not really reccomend this game to someone that is looking for a 1-player game. If you are looking for a 1-player game, stay away from this and get Prince of Persia...but If you like multi-player games, get this...
