Okay, anyone who's played a previous Mario Kart, and liked it, should buy this one. It has all the fun characters, courses and karts, plus the unlockables of each. If you're into realistic racing... this is NOT it. You throw bananas at each other in this game, after all. Added features: You can race against 'ghosts' (images of previous racers) who are experts from Nintendo. Beating a staff ghost opens up an expert ghost. Do this on enough tracks, and you get bonus vehicles to use. Also new is the rating system. When you complete a Grand Prix race, you'll be given a score from F to A to three stars. Earning a star for all the courses in a ciruit opens more unlockables. Circuits are still 50cc, 100cc, 150cc, and Mirror. 50cc allows you only karts, 100cc is cycles, and 150cc allows both at once. Battle Mode is back... but it's not as much fun with huge fields and 12 karts flying about randomly. I prefered the smaller ones, where you would swerve around, trying to line up a green-shell shot. Most people won't be playing this mode now. On the upside, you can now play against anyone in the world, online! And there are bonus challenges posted on the Kart channel, if you want to try something new. In any case, you'll be playing for 100s of hours. Just have to figure out which controller you like to use!
