Crash Nitro Kart - PS2 - Terrific!

Advantages: Great for all ages, value for money - great fun!
Disadvantages: Addictive and probably not for advanced gamers of the PS2

...Yes, I bought a Playstation 2, again on impulse (I really have got to learn to control myself). Anyway, there was a motive behind my impulsiveness?. This motive was in fact a game I had played on my friends' console. It had me addicted. It's what I am going on to review for you people right now, so have fun reading! Intro: Wow! What a game this is?. It's another great karting experience in the world of 'Crash Bandicoot'. First came Crash Team Racing (CTR) and now there is Crash Nitro Kart (CNK). This kart racing game has rivalled any major kart racing game ever seen before on the market such as 'Super Mario Kart'. This new addition is actually developed by a different firm to the 'Naughty Dog' production company that brought us the first Crash Bandicoot game, CTR. With different developers it has brought us a whole new...

Review of Crash Nitro Kart (PS2)

is this just another mario kart ripoff?

Advantages: A good collection of weapons to use against other racers
Disadvantages: singleplayer mode is easily beatable

...Crash and the gang along with the evil Dr Kortex and his no good villains have been abducted by the almighty Emperor Velo to participate in his own private kart racing tournament. If you dont race your home will be destroyed. So the teams have no choice but to go head to head in some cooperative kart racing. 12 hot races will get you to battle the boss, but dont expect it to be easy to save the Earth from the cruel mastermind Emperor Velo. Gameplay Crash nitro cark (CNK) offers you a few different gameplay modes, most of which are part of the Adventure mode. After beating a race, you can challenge the CNK mode on that same course, where you have to find the 3 letters C, N, and K.

Mi and my Wii Kart

Advantages: Super family game
Disadvantages: Too addictive !!!

... MARIO KART ON Wii INTRODUCTION Mario Kart for Wii is a game that is perfect for anyone and everyone ? it is recommended from age 3+ and the fun doesn?t deteriorate as the player gets older, in fact from my experiences the older the player the more fun they have!! It is a simple game to understand that is based on using a Car Wheel (Wii Wheel) and turning the Wheel to turn your car or bike The idea is the same as any race game - to finish first. The difference is that in Mario Kart you can pick up items that can hinder your opponent or give you advantages. It's a game that parents can play with their children, children can play by themselves, or parents can play late night together ? ideal with a group of friends. WHAT YOU GET In the package you get 1 X Mario Kart Game with Wii Stars 1...

Kart Shaped Love

Advantages: New tricks, Bikes and a tonne load of things to do
Disadvantages: The team setting is a bit of a pain

...Glitter On the Mattress So, my weekend did not exactly go to plan. For those of you who were unaware, my plan was to stay in, play Mario kart and sleep. More fun for me, though, I (as was kind of expected) ended up in the pub, making for much fun times and lots of kissing (don't worry, it's the guy I had the failed date with. I'm not just a tart). Then my ex came over to stay the day after. Ok, so maybe I AM a LITTLE bit of a tart monster. Oops. Obviously the sleeping part of the plan went completely out of the window for various reasons I shall leave to your imagination. As much as I totally skewed off the path of my well laid plan, I managed to skip back onto it for a few merry hours in the form of kicking my ex's ass at Mario kart. Oh the sweet joy. This is what I shall be telling you about today. The Kart, not the ass...

Mario Kart Wheeeee!!!!

Advantages: Great online play, fun
Disadvantages: Powerups are better if you are towards the back of the race

...--Introduction-- The original Mario Kart first appeared on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) back in the early 1990's. Since then, Nintendos famous plumber and his gang have appeared on every Nintendo format and now its time for them to make their appearance on the Wii. For those of you new to the series, Mario Kart consists of racing over 32 tracks which are broken down into batches of 4, meaning there are 8 cups to win. These cups exist at 3 levels, namely 50cc (easy), 100cc (medium), 150cc (hard), for the first time in a Mario Kart game you are able to ride motorcycles adding a new dimension to the game. Also a first is the introduction of online play which really brings the game on. --Controls -- The game comes packaged with the Wii wheel which basically is a plastic shell in which the Wii remote sits.

Mario Kart Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Advantages: Fun, great replay value.
Disadvantages: No Paratroopa.

...be released was Mario Kart: Super Circuit. Once fully unlocked, there are 10 cups offering 40 tracks. The fourth Mario Kart game is Mario Kart: Double Dash. Mario Kart: Double Dash - like Super Mario Kart - starts with Mushroom, Flower, and Star Cup and the Special Cup is unlockable. The game also features an "All-Cup Tour" where you play all 16 tracks. You always start with Luigi Circuit and end with Rainbow Road. The fourteen other tracks are mixed up in a random order. It's the first game to feature unlockable characters. Mario Kart DS is the fifth Mario Kart game. It has two Grand Prix modes - The Nitro Cups (all new tracks) and the Retro Cups (all classic remade tracks). Nitro Grand Prix consists of four cups - Mushroom, Flower, Star, and Special. Retro Grand Prix also consists of four cups - Shell, Banana, Leaf, and Lightning...

Mario Kart

Advantages: Safe internet use, lots of courses, free wheel.
Disadvantages: Same courses as old games.

...Game Basics Mario Kart on the Wii is the greatest game out on the Wii as yet. It is a basic racing game where the aim is to come first. The game comes with a steering wheel which you simply just click your Wii Remote into before playing the game. Of course, you don't have to have the wheel to play, you can just use the Wii Remote by itself so if you only have one wheel but four Wii remotes, you can still play with four people. Characters The game features all the famous Mario characters including Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach & Toad to name but a few. There is also Baby Mario & Baby Peaches who are just the cutest. There are about twelve characters you can choose to be, each having three motorbikes and three cars to race in each. Multiplayer Options The multiplayer options for this game are fantastic. You can play...

Mario Kart Wheeeeeeeee!!!

Advantages: Gameplay, graphics, audio, longevity, value for money, difficulty, multiplayer, Wi-Fi
Disadvantages: None

...Mario Kart Wii is a edition to the popular series of games, Mario Kart. The game started way back in 1992, when Super Mario Kart for the SNES was released, a lot has changed but will Mario Kart Wii be a great edition? ~~~ CONTROLS ~~~ In my opinion, the controls for Mario Kart Wii are very simple. you hold down 2 on the Wii-mote to go, 1 is Brake/Drift. turn the Wii-mote to stear, up on the D-pad to throw and item forwards and down to throw it back. If you choose a Manual car, you hold down B/1 to drift. ~~~ CHARACTERS ~~~ I think that MKW has lots of characters that you can play as, and that It's good if racing games have lots of characters you can play as, these characters are: Mario Luigi Peach Daisy Bowser Dry Bowser Dry Bones Donkey Kong Funky Kong Mii Baby Mario Baby Luigi Baby Peach Baby Daisy King Boo...

MARIO KART WII!

Advantages: EVERYTHING
Disadvantages: NOTHING.

...of the top of my head. The graphic details of each and every track are well thought out and brilliantly expressed. Theyre fun, unique and interesting, also, within your wii mees, you can tick which are your favourites, your favourite wii mees will be in the mario kart racing tracks in places, for example on bill boards or engraved on statues etc! Now the characters, when you first start off you can play as several characters though with around eleven to unlock. You unlock these characters and bikes via completing courses, playing mario kart wfc many times and through time trials. The unlockable characters include; Rosalina, Toadette, Bowser Jr, Daisy, Funky Kong, Diddy Kong, Baby Daisy, Dry bones, Dry Bowser, Baby Luigi, and Birdo. (Please note these are not in order). You graded once completing a set of races, with a gold cup, silver...

My latest addiction - Mario Kart Wii

Advantages: fun, great single and multiplayer options, can play online against randoms or friends
Disadvantages: battle mode is rubbish, expensive

...This is a review about my latest addiction ? Mario Karts! The game is in simple terms a driving game where you can race in the different grand prix cups, against friends or random people online as well as a few other game options. I have never particularly enjoyed racing games on any games console as I am horrendous at them and lose all the time and in my frustration usually end up throwing the control at my opponents head and get banned from playing! We brought Mario Karts for the Wii as we were sold by the adverts where you have the whole family playing against each other using the Wii Wheels! We had also heard some friends saying how much they loved theirs and the next day had ordered the game on Amazon. The game includes all the well known Mario Characters and you unlock access to some of them as you improve on the game. You can...
