    Mario Kart 7 was in my opinion a good game. Its what you would expect of a Mario Kart game. The gameplay is familiar, and quite good, and i sunk hours into it.

The character roster being rather small compared to what I thought it would be. Waluigi, Dry Bones, Dry Bowser, Birdo, Funky Kong, as well as a few others, have been ignored in favor of some less important characters (IMO) such as Lakitu, Metal Mario, Wiggler, and the Queen Bee from the Mario Galaxy series. I mean c'mon why would you take Waluigi from us? The 10 coin limit is also rather annoying when you are trying to unlock different car parts. All in all, its worthy to pick up, but it could have had a lot more unlockables, maybe a few new modes to shake up the mix, and easier online capabilities.… Expand

    Just like every other Mario Kart, this is a great multiplayer experience. However, what hinders this game from getting a perfect 10 and me, still preferring to play the old "Mario Kart DS" instead, is the simple lack of the "Settings" option that exists both on the Wii and DS version.

However, what hinders this game from getting a perfect 10 and me, still preferring to play the old "Mario Kart DS" instead, is the simple lack of the "Settings" option that exists both on the Wii and DS version.

    What exactly am I talking about?
    Well, first off, let me have you know that,
    Graphics in this game are amazing, top notch.
    Online is the best in the series so far.
    Levels are maybe not THE best in the series, some of the new ones are fun, but I definitely miss some old ones, but that wouldnt keep them away from a perfect score in my opinion.

    So, to answer what I mean with this "Setting" stuff.
    In Mario Kart Wii as well as DS you can play multiplayer. When you do so, you can then choose the rules of how you play which are two simple choices "Wins" or "Races".
    This means if I play multiplayer with 5 friends, we can play a tournament, with the computer over 30 races if we wish. Or 2, or 8,15, you get it, whatever we want.
    Now however, some genius at Nintendo decided to remove this option, limiting us to 4 race tournaments.
    There is nothing wrong with a classic 4 race tournament of Mario Kart. But the question is, why remove the option?

    I who personally love to play a cup of 8 races with my brothers and friends can now not do that. And another thing is when playing the "Communites" online, I can there also, only play 4 races, but now without any computers, which mean I cant play an online tournament with one friend...unless its one on one races of course.

    Thats really not what Mario Kart is all about.
    Of course I can go and play against other humans with my brother, and keep track of where we are placed. But video games are a lot about immersion, and that kind of ruins it.
    This is why I now have gone back to Mario Kart DS when racing on my handheld with friends.

    Great game, but a simple setting is what has taken away the lasting appeal along with the perfect 10 to a 7 out of 10 with this rating system.    … Expand

    The multiplayer, while very fun, is extremely limited in terms of game modes. The two "battle" options are very simple offerings. The main mode is amazing, but major disconnection issues plague one's experience. It's rather annoying, especially when it takes a long time to load, connect, reload, and so on.

    There are also very few characters to choose from, with just over 15 unless I'm mistaken. The new courses are pretty good, but none of them are anything spectacular. Also the kart customization is quite useless, as is the "gliding" mechanic and the underwater segments, as they last only for a minute or so.

    The item imbalance will kill you--but that's what you've come to expect when you hear "Mario Kart," right?

    Other than those flaws, the game is great--addicting, fun, nice-looking. A good game for the 3DS, and for any fan of Mario Kart or kart racing in general.

DS "DK Pass", GCN "Dino Dino Jungle" and GCN "Daisy Cruiser". Also, a major glitch was show able to slip past editing in Maka Wuhu, skipping about 1/3 of the track.

Waluigi is a lot more iconic, and he should have been playable. But Metal Mario is easily the worst inclusion, he´s just Mario encased in metal. Battle mode is very boring, as 2-minute matches and boring stages screwed it over. VS mode is only available in multiplayer, and it's not even that good there. But the soundtrack is very decent, the graphics are great for the 3DS, and the 3D effect is very neat. Overall, the game is fun, but at the same time, is a bit lacking.

    The others types of "courses" such as coin rush, or coin mode, and dont recall the exaclty name, are just terrible.; no one plays that **** just mention it is give more credit than it deserves. is that terrible.

Honestly, most of my displeasure stems from the fact that they removed Vs. mode from this game for some reason. That really hinders the replay value of this game for me, since it means that if you want to play races without any other actual people, you have to play either Grand Prix, where you can't choose specific races to do, or Time Trials, where you don't have the CPUs to race against. My other complaint is the distinct lack of Waluigi. The core gameplay is pretty much the same as the other games before it, where you just drive around as Mario characters, hitting people with items and having a good time. The kart customization is a cool new addition, and so is being able to glide through the air and drive through water. The graphics are also very nice for a handheld console, being way better than the graphics for the DS one, and about on par with most other games on the 3DS. One part of this game that I really love is the ability to play with friends who don't have the game. You can play with them through download play, and while they can only play as Shy Guy, it's better than nothing, and has allowed me to have some good times in this game with friends who I normally wouldn't have been able to play with. Overall, it's not the best Mario Kart game, but it's still enjoyable and Mario Kart is always a good game to have on your Nintendo console.… Expand

Unfortunatly for MK7, now that we know how MK8 and deluxe looks like, the first hit it has to take is the visuals. It is a obvious upgrade in comparison with MKDS, but that was really it. It doesnt do much for me, also because MKDS makes up for the visuals in some aspects with a lot of character, wich MK7 has way less of. Not only is the music mainly reused, but i found most of the new made maps not really inovative nor intresting, it is a given at least some of new maps in an MK will play and look cool, but (again) if you compare in with MK8, it has way less going for it. Some new aspects were decent. It introduced the glider aspects, and that does add a new mechanic to the game, and can work in your favor if you do it correct. The 'double drift boost' is also introduced here, wich is probably the best thing about the gameplay next to it using a joystick and taking very good advantage of that. But unfortunately i did not like the character selection nor did i like almost the entire feeling this game gives off. it has a blant cover and a boring menu if you ask me. It still is for me a pretty good mario kart, it still is a game you should have because you can put so many hours in it, but for me it does a little bit more than the minimum required to get you hooked. Good, but not fantastic or groundbreaking in almost any aspect… Expand

Nintendo had so many opportunities to change things up with Mario Kart 7. A good portion of the game, felt recycled to me.

The character roster also felt very small - and I've unlocked every playable character. It would have been great to see new play modes as well. The coin collection and balloon battle modes are quite fun, however it would've been really nice if Nintendo had of added at the very least one extra mode.

    The graphics are a big step up from the DS version.

    The reason I'm marking it with only 3 stars, is for 2 of the most willfully stupid design decisions I've ever seen in a modern video game.

    Firstly they've removed single races so if you want to have a quick race on your favourite track? Tough, you can't. You have to do a 4-race Grand Prix in sequence you can't just have a single race. So if the track you fancy playing happens to be the excellent new Rainbow Road track, you have to finish 3 other races before you're allowed to play it (unless you choose to do a solo time trial). While it's not game breaking, it is an idiotically stupid decision. It's really page one of Video Game Design 101 in a racing game you let players pick a course and race on it... has there been any other racing game in modern gaming history where that feature was removed?

    And secondly there are 2 camera views normal and the view surprisingly works really well, gives a great impression of speed, lets you have a close-up view of the other racers. It should be a lovely optional extra feature for players who prefer it... except... when you select view, tilt controls are enabled whether you want them or not.

    Other companies allow the player to choose which control method they prefer, and which camera they prefer... but apparently not Nintendo.
    If you like the view, you have to suffer tilt controls whether you want them or not... and if you prefer the conventional view, you're not allowed to use the tilt controls even if you wanted to.
    Tilt controls are ok, but tilting messes up the 3D so you you like the 3D effect, and like the view, you have to painstakinginly keep the 3DS dead level as you steer with the circle pad (cirle pad still works in view), anytime you accidently tilt the console, you veer off to the side.

    Another annoyance is the 3D the depth of 3D is really toned down here, compared to something like Starfox. Again, other companies might let the player choose how much 3D the player wanted (after all, that's the whole purpose of the 3D slider) but no, Nintendo have decided that the players only have the option of a very gentle 3D effect here if you wanted deeper 3D like other games? Tough, Nintendo have decided you can't have it.

    There's no denying, it's great to look at, fun to play but when Nintendo start turning into Apple, with their philosphy of telling customers what they want, instead of allowing them to choose, and it starts to impact on how much fun a game is to play, they deserve criticism.    … Expand

Mario Kart 7 is defninitely a solid entry into the MK franchise, however, the only qualm I ever had with the game is that, after completing all of the CCs and acquiring all Kart parts, the game begins to lose a little bit of its shine, as at that point, the game comes to rely on the online functionality for its fun, as well as the multiplayer. There was a time, back when Mario Kart Double Dash was the major MK at the time, even though there was no Story Mode, as is typical with Mario Kart, Double Dash had a decent amount more replay value than Mario Kart Wii and 7.

    Kinda boring after a while. The Mario Kart formula works better on home console when you can use a joystick to drive around. The analog stick on the 3DS doesn't really drive all that well. I was disappointed with this game, but if you're a huge Mario Kart fan then go ahead and get it.

    It's not doing anything revolutionary on it's own, but serves the loyal audience with the best offering Nintendo can muster – and that's pretty good indeed.

    Unless you are a big Mario Kart-fan, this game might not be worthbuying. By all means, it's fun the way only Mario Kart can be, itlooks more stunning than ever before and if you need new tracks it caneasily offer hours of entertainment. But Nintendo must have made this game on autopilot.

    Arcade racing game cooked by well-tried foolproof recipe entertains you most of the time but there are a few frustrating moments too. [Christmas 2011]
