[DS] Diddy Kong Racing DS (OMG!!!)

I'm going to be very cautious with this one. Even though I beat the N64 game once, I got so tired of trying to grab all those coins, and get first place. That and the somewhat screwy controls with the water vehicle really sucked all the fun out of the game for me. If this one's like the N64 version, and I have no reason to believe it wouldn't be, I'll probably just be sticking to Mario Kart.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

All the racers, courses, weapons and such all just seem average (except in the case of the hovercraft, which fucking sucks balls because it controls like shit). If it didn't have the planes, this game would just be an inferior Mario Kart ripoff.

But aside from the MK comparisons, the original stuff the game has still ain't that great. The boost was kinda bad at first, until I just started doing it with my finger instead of the stylus. Not as effective, but works better than trying to quickly switch from the stylus. As for all the other touch screen stuff, again, it was alright, but nothing great.

Haven't done much multiplayer, but I did play a few matches against my sister. It was pretty boring with just two people, but still more fun than playing the AI. Hopefully more people will make it better ('sup OLDK).

So those are my initial impressions, after playing for a little over an hour and completing the first world. I can tell already that this will be more of a multiplayer game than a single player, becuase playing by myself just wasn't that interesting. I'll probably do it just to unlock more stuff, though.

Thanks for confirming for me that I can pass this one by. I still have nightmares about that cheap octopus boss from the original.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
