I am suprised no one has made a review for this game yet.
Ok, Mario Kart 7 (MK7) is a downright awesome game and nothing can go wrong here.
Single Player Mode Gameplay: 10/10
If you just bought this game, you will need to practice and check out how to do things first. The 50cc Cups are the place to go. With the cpus on here driving so slow, as if you rapidly press the acceleration button (A) instead of hold it, you will pick up on things in no time. Now the 100cc races are a bit more challenging. You may use this mode if you think you have the hang of things.150cc is really difficult. And so is the later unlocked Mirror Mode. Mirror mode is a flip-flopped course, and the cpus are the same skill level as the 150cc cpus. And they are just a bit harder than average. What this section of the review is about, is the difficulty varying. So this would be an excellent game if you are experienced in the Mario Kart series, or a beginner. Each CC has a method of star rankings that you earn depending on how long you stayed in first place through each course. So, bottom line. Excellent way of putting together a single player mode. I mean the cpus don't even have those "cpu" moments. Like when they keep doing something over and over at a certain spot.
Multi Player Gameplay: 9/10
Like the Single Player Mode, Multi Player Mode also has multiple levels of difficulty, except more. The VR System is a pretty sweet way to tell if an online player is experienced or not, not to mention the wheels, and stars on the person. You get put in the same skill level opponents as you are, even when you play in the worldwide communities! The game actually searches for a group of players that are in your shoes. The only reason this section gets 9/10 is because of the connection. I mean it's pretty awesome to see how technology has advanced, seeing that you connect to the internet to find players from where you are, and even to Japan and Australia! But the problem is the connection. You can only stay connected 24/7 if your router or whatever you use, is in top-notch condition & such. You will not like the error after error after error sequence the connection could cause. Most people do not have the problem in Kid Icarus: Uprsing
Graphics: 10/10
Now the graphics of the game are certainly impressive. They aren't too roundish, if you know what i mean. Compared to the Wii's graphics for our favorite characters. Like in Mario Party 8. Each character is well-defined, and even the courses, which are in 3D, are as if you were driving on the road in real life, but still animated at the same time. That is top-notch material from graphics you would want in any game.
Controls: 10/10
Now the controls are pretty easy to use. The game takes all of the buttons on the 3DS, and gave them each a function for the game. You don't have to move your hand, obviously. But these controls make you feel entirely comfortable. And you even have the option to drive in a First Person Perspective, in addition with the regular 3rd person view. This all makes gameplay entirely awesome and ridiculously addicting.
Glitches: 6/10
The only reason I added this as a section is because Mario Kart 7 is the most glitch-filled game i have ever played. You wouldn't find as many in any SNES, NES, or N64 games. But perhaps this is because all the courses are 3D, there are 32 courses total, and the game offers so many options that developers and testers wouldn't have even thought about. There was no way they could have tested every possibility at every turn. But the good or bad thing is that they made patches for the game so it's not as much "glitchy." But then, even more glitches were discovered by players like YOU! But glitches were never a bad thing, were they? This offers racers the chance to beat racers and cpus a new way.
Unlocking: 10/10
Unlcokables are great. You can unlock characters, new cups, and kart customization options. And the only ways to unlock all of this, is either how many coins you collect total while racing, or if you win the gold trophy (no stars needed) by coming in first place after all 4 courses in a cup. What you unlock is probably expected but still so sweet! Now I'm not going to spoil this part. But let's say the method for unlocking is easy, and rewarding.
Summary: 10/10
All in all, this installment of the Mario Kart series is perhaps the best one (and I haven't even played any other but one, yeah, that's how good it is) Despite any downside I mentioned, even though the downsides are there, it doesn't stop you from wanting to play Mario Kart 7 all the time!
I suggest this game to be the best 3DS game so far! And I suggest YOU to get it!
