A Huge Disappointment

Being a huge fan of the Super Nintendo and N64 versions I was sure to reserve a copy of this game when it came out.

However, I soon discovered that while the tracks, graphics, and extras are great, the controls and driving engine are TERRIBLE.

Racers familiar to the N64 version will feel like they are driving a school bus on ice when playing this game. The system of power sliding is completely ruined.

Definitely rent this game first, and if you must buy it, at least do yourself a favor and play the N64 version so that you know what you're missing.

Better than ever before

You wanna know why this will be better than all the previous mario karts....well first off you arent just one character...you play as 2 and you have to mix and match for the best possible duo to go against the rest of the racers....another thing that im looking forward too are the new characters....this is a must pick up for any of your mario kart fans....this will add a whole new dimension to the mario kart game im really looking forward to the game.

This is a GREAT game! It is incredibly fun! It has great graphics, sound and simple game play. The controls are easy to remember, and your car "sticks" to the track. Addictive and exciting! Buy!

HUUMMMM

Well nintendo did something right with mario kart 64, but it must be hard to repeat. I was disapointed about the battle mode. The course are so much smaller. There is no room to ambush surprise attack or do anything. You are always in the open. I liked it when there was all sorts of places to hide, and a bunch of levels to the maps.

The tracks for racing are smaller too. Or so they feel. They are also unimaginitive. No more star world.

Handling:Well I didn't take a star off for this since it's just my opinion but I liked it when there was less "OH NO! I almost slid off on that turn and.....ahhhhh!!! I got hit with a shell, but.... ehhhh???? I fell off!!" Instead of "Whoa this place looks cool, hey you! Take this! Why you little... overtaking me, eat shell! OWWWW! Well that didn't hurt me so much that I'm in 8th place it does in Mario Kart double dash". OK so the last part was oddly specific. The old one was hard but still let you focus on warfare a lot more. The levels were much larger and the control and map more forgiving. Well thats just me. The computer can think about that dangerous turn up a head and think about nailing you at the right milisecond with a shell so that you spin off the turn. One small mistake and the whole level is meaningless.

dosen't match up to snes and 64

while this game is fun, its not nearly the classic snes or 64 mario kart games. but thats just kinda how the gamecube is. snes invented the game in glorious 2D, 16-bit graphics, with classic characters, simple controls and unlimited replay value. then N64 moved the game into 3D, and 64-bit graphics, but most importantly upgrading multyplayer to 4player. then gamecude came out with better graphics, but the games wern't as good. classic titles like super mario kart, star fox, and super mario64 became mario kart double dash(2 player karts?), star fox(an action/adventure game with dinosours? what happend to the great space shoot 'em up?) and super mario sunshine(classic goomba stomping coin-collecting becomes stopping polution?). if you want to have s 2 players per car battle, try halo for the xbox. nothing like two warthogs fighting when both the chain guns are blazing

Great game but not worth the money

We have this game and it is fun but it is not worth almost 50.00 i think it should be 15.00 the graphics are great and it has cool multi player modes but after awhile the same racing tracks get boring and the multi player games get old, overall this is a great game but if i were you I'd wait for the price to go down!

This game is awwwwsome!!

This game will be a blast, if you see this game on Television you will feel like if you were about to get paralyzed and you will probably be too stuned to say a word. I don't know about you guys but to me I'll give this game 5 stars. In this game there can be 2 people in the karts , and there are even more players than before. I can't wait until they sell this on November 20, 2003. I'm going to beg my parents until they say yes.

Ooops...

There's really nothing wrong with this game, except for the fact that it sucks. Actually, by itself it's not too bad, until you compare it with it's predecessors. It's worse than Mario Kart 64, in so many ways. The worst is, the tracks are just plain to small. That takes a lot of the fun out of multiplayer, which is pretty significant since that's what the game is really designed for. Another major problem is the level of difficulty on the single player coupled with all the junk you need to unlock. Most of us don't have the time to spend 200 hours unlocking stuff, and yet we want it unlocked to use in multiplayer. I'm by no means a novice to racing games. I've spent many, many hours on MK64, as well as all of the Need for Speed series - I beat Porsche Unleashed quite a few times and Underground once (a game which, by the way, is even more pathetic). But I finally gave up trying to unlock the stuff on Double Dash after nearly driving myself mad. Another major problem is the changes they made to how the items work. They should have left the items the way they were on 64. Sliding on a banana peel makes sense, but crashing into one?! WTH?? That's just so lame, and the red and green shells are pathetic. And while Double Dash does have slightly better graphics, the difference is not significant. That's because with game consoles, the TV screen is the limiting factor, not the console.

In summary, if I had tested this game before buying, it would still be at the store. I have to give Mario Kart 64 a significantly higher fun factor.

5 starz awsome!!!!!!

This game is sweet!!!!!!!! You get to drive 4-weelers with people riding on the back of them! I loved the gameboy & N-64 games. I still play them both!! I think Amazon.com is going to need a 'double dash' shippment of this game.

I couldn't agree more with potato_mike's comment about this game. It is a short game and would have lasted SO much longer if it was online.

But that said, I do think the graphic's are brilliant. The whole two characters on one kart is a bit gimmicky (more then Eternal Darkness's sanity meter) but it's still a nice feature and you do get a sense of chaos.

Nintendo have been making A LOT of short games lately. Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin, Sunshine, Zelda. Only Metroid Prime seems like a decent length and even that's a bit too short for my liking.

I was really hoping Double Dash was going to be an online game. It would be the longest lasting game Nintendo's ever made. Oh well, hopefully they will learn from their mistakes.

It's still a great game though. I love Mario and his lovely moustache!
