| | Review - Mario Kart DS // DS /// Eurogamer |
 | | Mind you, even I, the chap who famously loved Mario Kart: Double Dash like a child when most of the other critics decided to hate it, have to confess that conquering single-player Mario Kart has become more of an unshakable habit than a true delight. |
 | | As for multiplayer Mario Kart, it remains something quite exceptional, and transferred to the DS ("reborn on" would be pushing it), it's grown into that rarest of things: a handheld game that people will genuinely spend more time playing with others than alone. |
 | | Except that if the DS in Mario Kart DS stands for anything, perhaps it's "default state", because it's hard to imagine a time when I'll be reluctant to return to the multiplayer racing - and as long as there are people who feel likewise, it'll be a game that richly rewards anyone's investment. |
