Mario Kart 8 review

Although I wish some of the retro tracks were more spectacular, Donut Plains 3 rocks!

Also the water makes me crave Wave Race.

Indeed. I wish there was some more anti-grav stuff on some of them.

How good is the new Mario Circuit when you go upside down over the castle? HOW GOOD IS THAT

Lol. So much love for this.

That section makes me grin EVERY TIME!!

[nakamura]

Yep. Utterly amazing. Riding the river and sailing down the mountain is epic also.

Going to bash out a special pad tonight..

Looking over what I've played so far this year, I think I might have my firsr real goty with this

[ne0star]

Had a quick blast on my lunch break, and I have to say the Wario Mountain track is incredible!

Had some games with Lurch and MrKirov earlier which were good fun, but there was a serious lack of players in the end...mostly about 6 or so.

We need full 12 man bordersdown games!

[MrKirov]

This makes always makes me feel like I'm crap!!

Great fun though, and good games!

Anyone else getting a lot of connection errors? I seem to get them at least very three races and have to re-join everyone again… Great fun when it works though, thanks again guys

Yeah i do too, seems like only a small amount though...out of all the ones i played this evening, i think i disconnected once.

I'm seeing those connection errors too - though had some private rounds with some friends an it was trouble free there. Only seems to happen when I race globally.

Watched a playback of the haunted house track earlier and was surprised by how insane the track layout actually is - I didn't realize how much of the track is upside down or along a wall!
Because the camera remains straighforward sometimes it's easy to forget your racing along a ceiling, ha. Love the music in that track.

Again had some great matches online - and once again I got told off for being too loud!! This time i woke the wife. Haha, like being a kid again

N64 Rainbow Road looks great. You can see all the houses on earth(?) in the background and a train. The fireworks are too.

The streets have little 3D cars driving around as well.
