(And on the very day that I get my copy of Mario Kart DS xd ; )
* Gamespot.com gives Mario Kart DS a 9.2 out of 10. "Mario Kart DS represents a significant step forward for Nintendo's much-loved racing series, and not only because it's the first to feature online play. Mario Kart DS is without a doubt one of the best games to hit the Nintendo DS to date. The game plays every bit as well as any of its predecessors, and adds just enough new features to the mix to make it worthy of your attention, even if you're still playing any of those games on a regular basis. The online play is undoubtedly the icing on an especially yummy cake, and even if you're not in a position to sample said icing, a yummy cake without icing is still a yummy cake." - Gamespot.com
