I've been keeping up on it. Looks very promising. If it plays as well as Mario Kart, then I will probably get it. The online multiplayer is bound to be better than MK.
I just saw the trailer for this the other day when I discovered it was on the God of War 3 disc. It seems very neat, I wanna hear more about it before I make a final judgement
Who wants to play a game like mario kart against people they do not know? I thought the whole point of mario kart was to just dick around with your friends? The blue shell's game breaking itemness reminds me of this.
