Mario Kart 64 Review
By SlasherZ on 28 February 2008


Pros: Nice 3D graphics, no choppy animation

Cons: Hard to make turns, kept running into the walls, CPU is too hard

Drag Racing with a spin

The nice things in this Mario Kart remake is that you were able to 3D it without bad or choppy animation, but I do hate it when the sprites are 2D when the background is 3D (I like to call this "Flat 3D"). Story does not factor into this review. Speed control is hard, and the turns are too tight, which makes it a very hard time nailing the turns. This created frustration as the CPU's code script was programmed too hard and overlapped me. The interface could be better, there were hard times when I couldn't figure out if I could click the menu buttons with the arrow keys or mouse. Overall, this was a good job, but if it wasn't as hard, I'd add another star to the overall rating.
