The title says it all "DiddyKong Racing DS: It ain't no MarioKart DS"

I have it, played it, I'm returning it. I hate the drifting, like the multi-vehicle option, forgettable characters, forgettable levels, nothing new to add to the series IMO, just like the 64 version.

Not a problem, I've loved MK: DS since it came-out & I consider myself a fare reviewery dude :P So you can trust what I'm saying, if any site reviews this I'm sure you'll here similar comments.

While I don't agree with you (Diddy Kong Racing is my favorite kart racer of all time), I can understand why you don't like it.

I wasn't being sarcastic, I saw your "upcoming games" thread so I actually believe you. Usually I don't care what people say on the boards but you seem to be honest. *I have no clue if you thought I was being sarcastic, I just wanted to clear that up*

Would you mind shedding some light to some of us who may have a bit of curiosity regarding Diddy Kong Racing? For example, what makes you understand why some people might not like the game?

Um its really not exactly like the old DKR because of the story and touch screen features, plus i like DKR better than MKDS, which i think was boring, but ive probably had way to much MK for my own good.

I disagree with anyone who tries to this game a low score. In my opinion, I think it's a great game. I think trying to get a head start is fun, i don't mind the tacked on gimmicks at all, and I just like everything thats hated. I was a big fan of the original, and once I get multiplayer going I will be a bigger fan of this game. So in short: If you were a fan of the original, than you will like this game. If your thinking about buying this game and your not sure what to do, play the original first.

I also thought MKDS was boring (but fun). I just think DKR looks better.

You can't always trust everything they say. I prefer to read user reviews (the intelligent ones anyways) rather than the GS ones because they usually give more than one perspective. *coughTwighlightprincess8.9cough*

Well, the fact that you said "just like the N64 version" disregards this entire un-reccomendation to me, because I adored the N64 version.
