Well, I bought it for the kids for some good clean fun (No violence, except for crashes and some bumping). However, it would be nice to win some races over my son sometimes. He is too good.

It's Mario Kart! How could it not be fun?!

Great game! The double dash feature lets you have two players in one cart which eliminates the 5 minutes of you picking your favorite character. The courses are great and when you get gold medals in all the courses you unlock a secret course. The weapons you can use vary by which character you pick like some characters have bombs or eggs or fire. It's a great multiplayer game and you can play it for hours!

REALLY FUN

Although no one can give this game an honest review, as it is not out yet...I think it is quite obvious what the results will be: A definite 5 star sequel. Everyone loves playing Mario Kart games whether they choose to admit it or not, so naturally... this game will be one of Gamecubes top sellers if not the top-most. And, although X-box and PS2 have their high points, few things can compete with a good Mario Kart game, especially when it has 128 bit graphics, twice the amount of players, better karts, and options to fly, drive, or go by boat. Every gamecube owner should by this game at any cost.

And the Mario Kart Series Rolls On

Although overall the game is not perhaps as impacting as Mario Kart 64, Double Dash is certainly worth buying. The innovative and chaotic element of two players on each kart enables for more depthy strategy, a wider cast of characters, and a much faster experience. The only drawback is the levels. Although some are excellent (DK Jungle, Mushroom City, Rainbow Road), others seem relatively weak (Baby Park, Luigi Raceway). Overall, the course are nothing but average. It's a shame. If not for that, I'd have surely given it 5 stars. Luckily, the gameplay is good enough that you will seldom notice the flaws in level design. Also, this game is by far the hardest Mario Kart made. 150 cc tests even the most skilled Mario Kart veterans, and to no surprise, you can easily be screwed out of winning a race. Of course, this adds to the game's depth and makes it much more gratifying to win the circuit mode. All in all, a must-have for any GameCube owner.

GREAT GAME !

Beware of the Broadband Adapter

Great Game!!!! But just a word of advice. If you think you can buy the broadband adaptor and play with other people online, you are wrong. The only thing the adaptor does is it lets you play with 8 people on 8 different TV's, and 8 game cubes, all in the same room. It is just a way for people to compete against their friends without having to have a split screen.

Fun for people of all ages

The concept of racing games always grabs the attention of everyone, even those who have never played on a game console. Mario Kart Double Dash (MKDD) not only grabs you, but also hooks you with its ingenous racetracks, colorful and funny karts and their favorite trademark characters.

This game is one of the few to take advantage of the broadband adapter (sold separately). The broadband setup allows up to 8 players to play simultaneously using 8 separate TVs and consoles (requires an 8-port hub with patch cables), or 8 players on 2 TVs(4 players per TV) using 2 consoles (requires only a cross over cable to connect the 2 consoles). These kind of setups are fantastic for a LAN party or even a MKDD tournament.

Racing in this game is now a cooperative effort, there's the driver and the thrower on the same kart. Characters are classified as light(e.g. Baby Luigi), medium (e.g. Yoshi) or heavy(e.g. Bowser). There are also three (3) corresponding kart types. Any combination of driver/thrower is possible but they can ride only on a kart as big as the heaviest character in the pair. Light karts accelerate fast, but are weak when colliding against heavier karts, and they don't have great top speeds. Heavy karts accelerate slowly, but they are strong and have the highest top speeds. This character/kart combination allows the player to experiment and find the best pair for him/her.

The main event is the grand prix competition. In this event you race against human and/or computer opponents trying to reach the goal first not only with speed but by using your wits. Special items such as banana peels or green shells, among others, are scattered all over the tracks for you to pick up. Each item gives you a strategic advantage that if used wisely can make a difference at the end of the race.

Apart from the grand prix competition there are also other race modes such as time trials (to measure how fast you finish a track), versus (race against human players only) and battle, which also has its own variations. These game modes combined with multiplayer capabilities makes this game entertaining for a long period.

How many character are there to choose? Well, there are 16, but who knows if there is some kind of code to unlock others.

How many karts? There are 8, but you unlock others as you start winning grand prix tournaments.

If you want clean, fun entertainment for the whole family then this one is a winner.

Mario Kart: Double Dash

To be completly honest with you, despite double dash's superior graphics and ingenious gameplay mechanic, I didn't enjoy this as much as I did Mario Kart 64. As the title indicates, throughout every race in the game, you will be driving with two characters as supposed to only one. This mechanic works fairly well, especially being able to switch between characters to be able to have 2 powerups at once, but for me, the game quickly got stale because of it's poor track designs and substandard AI.

I was really disappointed with the tracks in this game, they are incredibly bland and just plain uninteresting. Many of the tracks are essentially the same layout with different backgrounds and ambient effects. Not only that, the controls aren't nearly as refined as in Mario Kart 64; I found it much harder to execute the power slide maneuver in this game than in MK64. Essentially, your cart handles like a shopping cart with one to many rusty wheels. The only real saving grace in this game is the multiplayer. It is quite fun to play this game with some friends, and with lan play, it is probably the gamecube's best multiplayer title.

This game is moderately fun, but it isn't as quick paced as some of the other racing games out right now. Most of the time, it felt like I was snailing along in the aforementioned shopping cart at around 6 mph, even on 150cc (the fastest setting). If your looking for high speed thrills then i suggest you buy F-Zero: GX. Not only is it more fun to play, it is also much longer. MK:DD can be completely finished in about 4 hours.
