Times-Picayune says who Mario Kart 7 is good for

The New Orleans Times-Picayune says Mario Kart 7 is a great game for children, and it's not because of the graphics or how the game is not tournament structured. Plain and simple, children can relate to it better than adults.

Here's some info from the site:

It’s for kids, because “Mario Kart 7” is so unfair and illogical that I think only youth can relate without bitterness. Here’s why.
I’ve been in first place in a race, a mere one second away from the finish line, when some jerk blows up my car, and then I come in eighth place — thereby wasting the last 10 minutes of my gaming life. That is so unfair!
We adults choose our careers and friends. Hopefully that framework gives us some shot at fairness.
But kids are constantly dealing with the unjust — popularity contests, bullies, adults making them eat vegetables, older kids who seem cooler, and scabs.
So if you’re quite young, “Mario Kart 7” must seem like a breeze of only slightly unwarranted deceit and irrationality, relative to all that real-life drama.
