Kotaku Australia just having fun with Mario Kart 7

Here's an interesting take on Mario Kart 7 from Kotaku Australia. Their point is, what really should matter is if you care about the game.

Here's a sample:

Earlier this week I appeared on a Gamespot podcast, discussing video game reviews — what’s wrong with them, how they can be improved. I reiterated my usual stance: I don’t like writing reviews for a number of reasons; there are problems with how we review games, experience is subjective, I don’t want to contribute to the unintelligible white noise. I think the podcast is well worth listening to, and you can check it out here.

But on the train home that same day I grabbed my 3DS, I played Mario Kart 7, I had a huge amount of fun. I asked myself: if I had to review this game, how would I judge it? How would I score it?

Then I forgot about that and went back to having fun.

The Paranoid Gamer's review of Mario Kart 7

Over the next few days, I hope to link you to a lot of reviews of Mario Kart 7, now that the game is out.

Here is The Paranoid Gamer sounding off. Their final score was 9.5/10:

For years I’ve dreamed of a time, playing a Nintendo game which has everything. Nintendo has taken their time building a fantastic online experience, and with the last generation of consoles didn’t even deliver cutting-edge visuals. With Mario Kart 7, Nintendo delivers. Stunning visuals, check, Outstanding gameplay, check, Fantastic online, check! Nintendo are really starting to listen to their fans. Mario Kart 7 is not only the best racing game on the 3DS, but it is also my favourite Mario Kart to date. If you own a 3DS, you must buy Mario Kart 7!
