Talkings of a Tyrant

I got a Nintendo DS and Mario Kart DS today!

Played it for about 4 hours straight…

That should give you a clue as to how fun it is.
I will bet money right now (not over the internet) that this game will become a cult classic. Absolutely fun and addictive.

The control is superb. They managed to create a system where you can have precision control with a d-pad. The button layout is mostly logical (of course, I’m still getting used to a Nintendo DS) and works well.

The character balancing is excellent. No character is really better or worse than any other. You can use anyone and win the match, if you use them correctly.

The level design is superb, with excellent dynamics and layout. Secret passages, floors that move, enemies and obstacles galore - wonderful!

I can’t even put into words how absolutely addictive and fun this game is! It is certainly worth all $35 dollars!
