6/12/2023 0 Comments Mario Kart 64I must say I'm suprised to see that alot of people disliked MK64. Perhaps it's not a bad game in it's own right, it's just that Super Mario Kart is probably one of the greatest games of all time and Double Dash is one of the stars of the Gamecube catalogue. There is far too much reliance on weapons, the controls are un-responsive compared to DD and SMK, meaning you never feel truly comfortable pushing your kart to the edge and to make matters worse, the enemies are inexplicably able to catch up with you even if you are having a faultless race. The graphics are bland and the mix of sprites and true 3D really doesn't work, meaning that the karts never seem to be properly part of the screen. It holds no nostalgia value for me, so the rose-tinted specs that might flavour the opinions I have on other games don't apply here. I also enjoyed Double Dash on the Gamecube, so I was curious to see what this 'missing link' was like. I absolutely loved Super Mario Kart and I still dig it out every now and again. I never owned an N64 as I was still a devoted Amiga owner until the early 2000s, so aside from the occasional game at a friend's house, this largely passed me by.
