Some of my friends will only play in the back, leaving me to drive as much as I want. Thanks to the new side-attack and various weapon strategies, the back-seat role is actually a ton of fun.
My initial fear was that the back-seat rider would have too little to do, and the role would be only good for newbies. The player in front drives, while the player in the back uses items, attacks to the side, and aids in power-slide boosts.
It’s not much to get excited about…until you start looking into cooperative mode.ĭouble Dash’s entirely new co-op feature allows two players in each kart, each controlling one of the two characters. You can carry two items at once, and the characters you choose determine which karts you can select. In practice, having two characters per kart doesn’t create any drastic changes for the lone player. Most obvious is the addition of a second character in every kart, so now you’re controlling a team. The result is a familiar experience that is easy to appreciate at a party or family gathering.įor you and your gamer buddies though, Double Dash offers several new intricacies that help deepen the game.
Of course, the game is also balanced so that most races are close, unless one player is an order of magnitude better than the others. Most of my friends and family who tried out Double Dash had no problem at all getting into the game and being competitive. It serves to make the games easy to pick up for casual players who probably played the earlier ones at some point. The core of Mario Kart hasn’t changed much since the first game. If you want to know whether Mario Kart: Double Dash is a good game and worth buying, read on. Has the series run out of steam? Is Nintendo doing something wrong in how it creates sequels? Does Mario Kart need to break away from its young audience? Sorry, I won’t be answering these questions, because this isn’t an editorial. It’s the new Mario Kart, the fourth in the series, finally on GameCube. This is the game we waited on for so long.
