    Yeah, we'll say it: Mario Kart: Double Dash is the most fun you'll have with a game this year. And probably next year. And maybe even the year after that.

    Pure, exhilarating glee will envelop your soul, demanding that you keep playing "just one more game" into the wee hours of the morning. It's that good. [Dec 2003, p.230]

    The brand new 'Bob-omb Blast' is likely to be the best multiplayer kart game you will ever play.

    As such a strong multiplayer game, Mario Kart: Double Dash!! deserves your money. Ignore those cynical, angry critics; this game might not be a revolution, but it's a hell of an evolution.

    Although Multiplay is probably the largest part of the appeal, single play also works well and races are kept fun and varied if not a little easy to win.

    If there is one thing Nintendo can be relied upon for delivering, it is the quality of track design and there is no disappointment within Mario Kart DD. Right from the start on Luigi Circuit, there is an air of simplicity and yet a multitude of hidden complexity, choice, racing line and shortcuts to choose from on the fly becomes evident over time.
  7. Edge Magazine

    Mario Kart isn't a racing game any more. It is a party game, and anyone buying it for anything more than frantic, foolish, social fun will grow tired of being cheated very quickly indeed. [Christmas 2003, p.98]

Modos multijugador que proporcionan una diversión infinita, y un modo de un jugador que siempre supone un desafío. La variedad de personajes está bien, pese a que se echan de menos algunos otros míticos de la franquicia. Las únicas pegas que le pondría sería el trabajo que se hizo con los vehículos, ya que no son muchos, y las opciones de personalización se limitan a los personajes que elijas. Banda sonora excelente y circuitos muy bien construidos.… Expand
