I'm a big fan of the Mario Kart Double Dash game so I was really looking forward to this game. I was not disappointed. The game incorporated a lot of the original courses with updated features. The only thing that wasn't so great was the wheel, it can be a bit uncomfortable on the wrists after using if for a while, fortunately the game is also compatible with gamecube controllers. Overall this is an exciting new game with courses that have definitely outdone those on Double Dash.
What's great about it: Good price for both the wheel and the game!
What's not so great: Using the wheel is uncomfortable after a while.
