I'm not sure that's necessary with all the chatroom/hub/pm stuff. What would you need it for?

It's REALLY not that hard to get gold trophys.

It's the star rankings that are the pain in the arse.

Not hard, just required you to start again & again from rotten luck.

Call me lucky, but I aqcuired a gold cup on all 150cc courses at the first or second attempt, aside from the Lightening cup.

Yeah it's mainly getting the star ranks that are trouble some.

I'm getting really used to the tight turning bikes now.

Does anybody still play this? I was looking forward to a few games against some C3ers but nobody ever seems on. I'm going to be on for a while and ive added a few people, lets get some races going.

What times do you come on? I've come online about 7-9PM GMT and there's always been a few people on. Popular days seem to be Mondays, Saturdays and Sundays. Wednesday's quite good too.

Gave it a quick check at 10 am this morning and a few people were already at it.

Yeah, I'd advise anyone to give them a chance. I've been using Luigi and the Mach Bike to great effect recently.

Just for organization and the like, leave a note saying be on at 8 or somthin.

Yeah SL, I have to agree, in fact I was gonna ask. Brawl has one. The Hub does it job well for live chat but a actual thread once US C3ers come along would make things soo much easier.

Like the others say, it's getting the stars which is a bitch.

Ok ok I know its easy to get gold trophies, its just that the stars are way too hard, 150cc at least. Regardless, Its going and Okami is coming. Should I import it or wait for next months UK release?

i agree, the hub is cool, but somewhere is needed to do bigger events... like a friday GP for instance

i got straight through 150cc too and a star on the Special cup aswell.

I agree with a lot of what the critical guy says, but not all. For me it would be a B+.

Yeah, he is annoying bastard, and not just here, I have hated his views on Nintendo games on 1up in the past. Notably he slated Phantom Hourglass for a lame set of reasons. He does raise some valid criticisms but the way he puts them across is fucked up here for sure.

u guys got the game already? the game is not out in the US yet. but im sure getting it on Sunday i cant wait. ill be sure to post my fc on my sig.

Finally got the chance to play MKWii at a friends house and I must say, I personally did not take a liking to it. The use of the Wii Wheel/Wiimote for me is terrible and I can't ever see myself using it after the 10 races I tried to play with it. Besides the controls, I don't exactly know why I do not like the game, something about it screams "DD" except without the 2 karters in a kart gimmick. Some of the newer items are just... "wtf". One thing I did enjoy was some of the newer levels, a lot of them looked great.

One more point, what the hell is with the "babies" in Mario Kart now. Baby Mario and Luigi... ok and now Baby Peach + more?...

Not forgetting Baby Daisy... having said that, she is good on the Kamek Bike LOL

I wuv Baby Daisy!

A cool comparison video-

GS Review 8.5

L, check this out, this is that guys Blog. It turns out he is the object of hatred from "fanboys" after that Review Crew Show-

That guy pisses me off. I just read his blog even though he does have some valid points, he's still annoying (inner fanboy talking).

good comparing vids!! great game.

This game isn't that good, but it beats GTA IV by miles. (lol racing game + miles = pun)

*holds up flame shield*

Seems that the competitions have started up. In Aussie at least, haven't checked on my channel yet.

Me neither Hopefully I'll be free of my coursework chains by this weekend, so I can try some out...
