The demo I played is solid. If they gameplay is true to the demo, baring a bunch of crap courses, this is still probably going to be my GotY (even though it is quasi-rehash).

my intense code of professional ethics keeps me from commenting on IGN's review.
But I will quote a response I saw on another board regarding Fran Mirabella III's take.
"Lol, What crawled up her ass?"
MK DD is fantastic. Buy it. Especially if you have friends.

Eh. Since I tend to dissagree with IGN's reviews (Persona a 7.5? Puh-lease...), this really hasn't stumped my desire to play the game. I looked at the videos and they looked fun to me. I guess when the 17th comes around everybody's questions will be answered...

I know I haven't played Double Dash!!, but how could it only be a 7/10 for lasting appeal? Its got more stuff than any previous game in the series, and those games are some of the most replayable of all time.
What the hell is wrong with the IGN Cube guys? It seems like after years of overhyping Nintendo's games(9.6 for ED, 9.9 for conker) they are trying to gain their credibility back by being too hard on Nintendo's games.
A site as popular as IGN shouldn't be so inconsistent with their reviews. If you read their PN03 review, for instance, its like they go out of their way to find problems with the game. what is so "baffling" about the energy drive button assignments?
I've heard way too many good reports on this game from people who's opinons I value more than the IGN guys to worry after just one dissapointing score.

Yea but theyre busy not working during the day and committing acts of petty thuggery at night.
Except, of course... that PN03 is a piece of crap.
And in this MK DD review, they complain about the extra item button assignment. Seems pretty consistent to me.

Well, in IGN's defense there are several reviewers each with thier own style. As Fran has mentioned, numerous times on the IGN boards, he did not review any of the more recent (inflated) Gamecube releases.
There's a thin line between being a hard ass for no reason other than wanting to look "professional" and giving a game a good score because you like it.
I think the most telling thing about Mario Kart is that several of the IGN editors have commented that the general thought around the office is "ehh" in regards to MK. Fran talks about having a big get together of MK fans at his place and no one really being enthusiastic about the new game.
I think the problem for them may have been this: we can accept launch titles for what they are, even post launch summer titles... but two years after release you'd better be offering something pretty spectacular.
You know, I don't think I'll care about reviews on this say. I'll make my own mind up. As long as they fixed the speed (which seems to be true), and made combat less of a focus (ditto), then I can't think of a better multiplayer game to have for the GC.
Unless you guys know of some people down for golf?

Started playing DD around 10:30, and a half-hour later it was already quarter-to-one.

Heaven helps us, Nintendo wants you to play games with other people! I understand the issue at hand; afterall, most the games I buy are multiplayer/competitive and the interest from my friends dies after a few months. But what's so bad about trying to get people to sit around and enjoy a game together? We can't all be unsocial trolls, lurking in our dungeons with our games 100% of the time, right?

What the IGN review totally misses is how unfathomably fun the 2-player Co-op mode is. It's so so so very good. It's the reason I'm too hopped up on Kart fever to even go to sleep. If you and a friend don't have absurd amounts of fun playing through 150cc in co-op, your heart is a black, dead void.
