Blur: 1, Mario Kart: 0

Its funny how people that stink at mario kart are always like "this game isn't fair!'

Good players will win, bad players will lose. If you let a blue shell make you lose, you were not far enough ahead.

Snowboard Kids > Both. :twisted:

I may check out Blur since I remain a fan of Bizarre but unsure at this time.

Huh? Wait, what?

:|

The game punishes anyone who has actual skill.

If the AI wasn't so cheap, and the weapons a little more balanced, then it wouldn't be much of a problem.

Not to mention the blue shell spam in MK Wii.

[QUOTE="mattacular"][QUOTE="charizard1605"]If the Blue Shell showed the racer being blasted out of the kart, with blood splattered all over the screen, and the kart smashed to smithereens, sparks flying all around... In HD of course? Yeah, then System Wars would surely LOVE it. The average age here is 14, I guess.35cent

Amen to that. Mario Kart games have always penalised you for racing well which sucks IMO. Mario Kart 64 was the worst one for this. I loved it when I first played, but over the years, it's cheating has made me dislike it in general.

Lol at wii fans who take some what offense to this..

What's funny is that the "little boys" racing game they created for the ad would probably sell more copies than Blur will...

This is like comparing Madden with Tecmo Bowl or NBA2K with NBA Jam.

Then again, any commercail that doesn't bother to even show a single clip of the game has me worried about the game's quality.

goblaa

Funny ad, but I'd take Mario Kart any day.

Words cannot express how awesome that ad is, just watch it.

Race like a big boy. :lol:

And to the Mario Kart defenders, that game would be more fun if it was actually balanced, with no game-breaking cheats, and no punishment for being skilled.

I'll call you when your opinion means anything (hint: not seeing a reason to call)

Anyway, commercial was alright. As for the title"

Blur: ???, Mario Kart: 22 million

Mario kart is the most popular. It's going to be impossible to change that. It's samething with Halo, Call of Duty, Madden. That doesn't necessarily mean they are always the best.

Btw, that Spiderman mod looks sick...

I'm going to get the whole marvel cast and race em

[QUOTE="mattacular"] Hell I love Mario Kart as much as the next guy but you can't deny it's as cheap as hell. I always used to win by hanging back in second and you could always guarantee that on the last set of boxes the leader would get a banana and I would get a star. It's fun for a while but it has a lot of flaws.Superironic

You did not say that. Any sane person would just throw the controller to the ground in frustration.

Then again, Nintendo consoles haven't been known recently for realistic racing games...

Am I the only one who was more interested in the original race? Lol.. it actually looked like it could be fun. The flower was so cute hahah

Do the makers of Blur fear competing with games that it's like?

Sigh. Here we go again.

Sales =/= Quality.

Mario Kart defenders are funny.

Many so-called 'realistic' racing games have rubber band AI.

Mario Kart 64 took it to a whole new level, though. In retrospect, it was probably the worst Mario Kart bar Super Circuit.

I honestly think that the add is aimed at kids who want to look like big boys.

A mature gamer plays what is fun for him, nothing else.

Blue shells in Mario kart super circuit are more fair than the flying ones. They were on the ground, they couldn't go across gapes. They would hit everyone in front of you, therefore be more helpfull.

That was quite amusing, but the whole racing for "big boys" thing is extremely patronising. Plus the game didn't look very good. Seriously, kart racing with real cars? You know I think I'll stick with Wipeout or Burnout.

Gather 3 friends, you'll thank me later;)

lol awesome ad

Funny stuff. As much as I love Mario Kart(DS), it can be frustrating, especially single player. Its way more fun with friends though.
