    Diddy Kong Racing was great back in 1997, and it’s managed to hold up almost a decade later. The added content is nice for those who completely destroyed the original game, and those who’ve never played it will be surprised at its quality, depth, and longevity.

    Yes, it's a less charming "Mario Kart," but this game is packed with ideas and fantastic racing. [Apr 2007, p.69]

    Though it plays second fiddle to its old rival, Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing shows that there is still a place in the gaming world for kart-driving monkeys, plane-flying turtles and hovercraft-steering tigers.

    This could have been as good as "Mario Kart DS" but ditching some fun ideas to make room for the new DS-specific content actually drags the whole thing down. [May 2007, p.72]

    It is extremely difficult to be shooting things with your stylus and at the same time maintain control of your vehicle; humans were only born to have two hands.

    Like its predecessor, Diddy Kong Racing DS has a Mario Kart game to compete with, but also enough unique features to make it a kart-racing contender. [Mar. 2007, p.87]

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. You stupid **** ape. You smelly rodent boy riding in your automobile. This game is horrible and so is diddy, (I hope he dies -_- ). I remember playing against this slimy monkey with my parents arguing about daddys side bit ches in the other room. The flashbacks of this ugly monkey boy beating as hard my father has been burned into my memory. 0/10. BE WARNED! This ape has ruined my childhood and might ruin yours too. I hope I can beat this little monkey boy so he can no longer race in his automobile against me. I’ve gone through 7 ds’s since owning this piece of garbage. I hate you diddy. I’m coming to break your legs and feed you a banana you ape.… Full Review »
