Horny graphics, bad Battle mode, card only Gamepad = Unfair!

Positives:
+ Graphics BOMB! Never saw Mario Kart better!
+ Even the old routes have been edited very nice and look really great and there were
things added.
+ Beautiful new routes, great design, good sound. New character's, motorcycle back.

Negatives:
- ABSOLUTE downside: Battle mode is an extreme step backwards! You fight on a very
normal circuit and the computer opponents give me the impression they were just their
Laps as if it were a normal race.
I've done on the old parts very often 1v1 against my little brother. without a computer.
Now there is no more fun with such a huge map, as does a 1 or 2 points can
then constantly cut off and until the other is it takes forever.
Earlier parts were much more modes to choose from (insignia, bombs, dash with double or coins
collect on the Wii), here you have only balloons. A DLC with Arenas would be nice and would the game
do better again.
Had at least narrowed down the track, and a smaller area chosen from the track
it would have been ok, but I think it's very bad.
- NO leaderboards!
What is this? On the Wii could send records and from having friends or people
Compare all over the world.
The times of the other players see, compete against their spirits and more.
I guess Nintendo has left this feature extra-away, as it unfortunately also very many hacker
are cheater and who then fill the rankings with impossible record times (the best example
on the Wii).
The rankings function is poorly done, you can not see on which to rank themselves
is, you can see the ghost data of friends or compete against them. Just a few
prescribed mind data are there. On the Wii, everything was much better.

Neutral:
+ - You can no longer hold 1 item in your hand and take a second item. For others like this
might be positive, unfortunately bad for me as a seasoned professional gambler, as you so
tactically much fewer opportunities has. For worse or inexperienced players, this is from
Advantage, because they can more easily abschiesen an experienced player.
- Map is not displayed! One simply has no more cards and can not see where the other
Players are, or what kind of advantage you have. For online games, I think it's bad, because
you have no idea how far one is from the opponents.
In Battle mode, this can be an advantage but also a disadvantage. It makes for more excitement
if from every corner an opponent might come on the other hand may be some somewhere
hide or simply camp and get on your nerves.
- No mini boost from the stand as possible in Mario Kart Wii. Explanation: if one was hit
one could point to the drift and had a mini turbo. Was very hiflreich to immediately
to accelerate again to max speed. For me as a professional bad it this feature
longer exists, for inexperienced players but this is good because you have the more chances on
a good place to land, and the pros are on max speed not directly NEM matches.

Conclusion:
For people who like to race, whether online, offline or local is against friends Mario Kart 8 a top game and highly recommended. Graphically course the best Mario Kart ever and the tracks are made with love and many details.
Old routes to its former glory, but unfortunately they have beat the Battle Mode. People like me, love to have done competitions and have especially played very often local with friends or relatives, will be disappointed by the new Battle mode strongly. Personally, I have to share with the old Mario Kart mostly against my brother balloon competitions made (1v1) or if there were once friends with several playing the Battle Mode. 70% 30% Battle race. Therefore, I am unfortunately very disappointed with the game and will have to deduct 2 stars because of the bad Battle Mode and a few other little things that I did not like (eg a map, no Turbo from the state if you were taken, for example, no rankings .....)

-------------

ADDENDUM:
I want to gamble after several hours yet erzängzen lot:
+ Even the old routes have been edited so nice that sometimes I can not know whether there is a
new or old route is. On the Wii, I could distinguish the old and new directly.
Very nice work.

Negatives:
- After each race I want to just push on and immediately start the next race
from habit, of course I press always constantly "A", but is the first menu item
View not next race but highlights. These highlights are indeed ne cool idea and
perhaps because you can get also creates one or the other nice video, but find
I do not much innovation and it should not come first. It annoys me when
I get to see every time a highlight video.
- Control and Gameplay:
I do not like the control. She's just OK. Wii had the best control for me.
Nintendo has here every advantage away have the experienced players.
NO Mini Turbo the state possible.
The Wii could use a turbo after being fallen down a precipice
and it was lifted from Lakitu again. You had to push just at the right moment a.
Here is no longer the. Bad for the experienced players and good for people not there
knew or could, as the experienced not to whiz right away.
Since I am an experienced gamer and also very good games I have this as negative
because it annoys me the right of each almost as well as I can play.
Imagine her since many years Call of Duty gamer or another shooting game.
After long practice you can finally aim very well and you move super etc .. and
sometime so it comes amateuere also have just one aim auto function for all.
So extreme sighting what you have barely aim properly and immediately to the enemy
it is. So could Amateurs kill you just as easily.
Perhaps this was now not a very good or good example but I hope I could
thus approximately show how I feel.

- Card yet available but poorly implemented:
The map can be seen only on the gamepad. Ie The ones have the gamble with the gamepad a
slight advantage, while Battle mode even a big advantage because you always right in front of the gamepad
the nose has. I can also see the map when I FB with the Pro Controller or Wii / Nunchuck
but games must also look out to gamepad and every look on the gamepad times and the thing
have before him is not that great. Especially if you multiple gambles on a console, can
not be what you need then look on the small screen. Especially does the battery of
the part only very briefly for about 2 to 3 hours. So I think if you do not see the map on the TV
can, then you should not be able to see on the gamepad.

Is in Battle mode properly unfair if you do not play with the gamepad and certainly unfair
for the 2nd player. Imagine her since the 2nd player and playing with Wii FB or Pro
Controller, the first has the gamepad in hand and can you locate every time on the map
and you have no plan where the first player is. Correct poorly implemented Nintendo.

Neutral:
+ - If you fall down the abyss no longer lose his item and comes very quickly run into. People who can not play will be happy about it again soon to be in the game and to be able to keep the item yet. Professional gamers like me find it annoying. It has only a small lead though you yourself hardly falls down and often fall the other times.
+ - Control is easy to get used to and not as great as on the Wii.
On the Wii you had to get through the curves skilfully drifting. Here come even amateurs without drifting about almost every curve. The control was so simplistic for people who can not play so well. Since I play for years and am very good annoys me when now every child easily comes around every bend. You no longer have the advantage of an experienced player.

I'm still strongly disappointed and would give the game only 3.5 stars.

2. Supplement:
- No Diddy Kong, Funky Kong or Boo!
Diddy Kong and Boo were my favorite characters and are not included. HOW SO ????
The bad part is the complete Bowser family is. Wiesonimmt to 7 Koopalinge
(No idea how all hot), which are absolutely unnecessary and even baby Rosalina Peach and gold but no known and share in the previous case BEEN character like the others Kong and Boo or bone dry ....

- I'm on my 3rd place and get ne coin as Item! HURRAY! did not even understand what to bring me the coins in the race! Have eh almost always 10 pieces and never come under. 5

I do not understand how you can give this game 5 stars. It has never deserved 5 stars!
5 stars probably only give people who have never made balloon competition or it anyway do not want to play. Each longstanding Mario Kart gamers should have given this game a maximum of only 4 stars.
