Anyone recieved a copy from Goblin yet ?

No I always pay cash.

I hate it when I mail them or ring them (fnarr) and have to say, "Hi, I'm a goblin member!"

Or the time a friend peered over my sholder and saw me typing into Google "goblin games". Boy did that take some explaining.

Yup.

Well I'm still struggling with 150cc flower cup so it'll be a while before I get there!

Ok, I know that there are no 'lives' in this game, but:

Is it going to be a challenge for us who are gaming gods at MK64?

**TommyG** · 10-11-2003, 18:39

Well so far i've aced all tracks in 50cc and 100cc with gold cups. Fingers crossed for 150cc.

I'm doing all of that Bowser, but just boosting once. Looks like I need to get the wiggle quicker to blue then...

You need to start turning earlier and boosting quicker to get more in.
2 usually or 3 if you get lucky is what I usually do.

I've got gold on everything apart from 150cc special cup so far and haven't really played it that much, but with the

You all seem happy playing through the game but how would you rate it?

**sam1981** · 11-11-2003, 09:10

So far, I'd give it an 8.

I think pretty much all the courses are excellent - each one different from the last and the handling and weapons are also superb. We've seen it all before in previous versions, but that doesn't stop it being a great game.

Haven't had much of a chance to play multiplayer yet (only a few 2 player games) and have been a little disappointed so far. Some of the battle mode courses just seem to small and the bananas seem a lot harder to avoid so many of the games were lost, rather than won... if you know what i mean?

Hopefully some extended multiplayer sessions will prove a bit better though.

Anyone tried link up yet? or got the official line one how many players and how many machines you can link? I'm guessing you can only link two machines for 8 player but there have been so many different rumours it's hard to say and I'm kind of hoping that there could be some Halo style 4 machine linkathons coming up.

Cheers

There's a diagram in the manual with either 4 or 8 machines (can't quite remember which) networked together through a hub/switch.
