Mario Kart: Double Dash
I got Mario Kart: Double Dash this weekend. Actually, Joy got it for me as an early Christmas present. I got her an early Christmas present too, at Best Buy.
MK:DD is awesome so far. I’ve played it for about three hours total across three days so far. I played it with four guys at Joy’s house Wednesday, before Joy got me the game; I played with my nine year old niece, and one of my older brothers on Saturday; and today I played with my roommate for a bit.
After all that playing I am decent, but I still haven’t gotten a gold cup in the 100cc star cup. So, the game is actually challenging and engaging.
I can’t wait until I get more people over to play it again. Right now pretty much everyone I play is still at the beginner stage so I have to walk them through a lot of the game, which is fine, but I was enjoying playing with my niece, because she was a masterful little back seat driver, and really helped me out.
This is one of the few games that makes owning a Nintendo GameCube really worthwhile.
