A real eye-catcher are especially the new circuits that see the one of really good, on the other hand they have a great layout. New are even sequences in which one rises in the air to fly or can dive into the water. This has not existed in the predecessors and is a great asset in the game, since these functions have been incorporated useful without being intrusive. In addition to 16 new routes, there are also 16 classics that were very well chosen and also offer with the new sequences partly a new driving experience.
Drivers, karts and control are, as always, absolutely great! The drivers are the "usual suspects" here, but complemented by some great new characters. The karts there has also been an innovation. This time you can be Kart in advance were composed of 3 blocks. One chooses a chassis, the tires and the "wings" for the flying sequences. Depending on the composition of the 3 elements to the performance of the karts change.
Control transfers as ever slightly out of hand. The drifting works great and is no longer as simple as the DS predecessor, but more like in Mario Kart 64. New to this point, the control of the first-person perspective, via tilt sensors. However, this is not for me, I prefer the classic version.
To top it finally holds an ingenious online mode in the game collection. One can go online via Wi-Fi points with 7 other (total of 8 riders so). The first few laps I have already tried and everything runs smoothly and is great fun.
Conclusion: Ingenious routes, great drivers, karts built for himself and a fantastic online mode. It remains one has only one option: :-) buy and gamble it worth it !!!
