    Diddy Kong Racing was a lot better on the Nintendo 64… – and it’s better than Mario Kart 64.

    Diddy Kogn Racing is MUCH better than Mario kart.. I have Mario Kart and its VERY VERY overrated.. This game looks soooo much better.. More content.. You cna even build your own tracks and share them online! This is ALOT better than mario kart

    But you can’t *ignore some of them (aka the touch screen gimmicks).

    Anyway.. I’d give the 64 version at least 8.5/10, and the DS version somewhere between a 7.5 to 8.. Depending on my mood.

  11. yosouf06 says:

    Maybe its just me.. But I find the pop the balloon challenges to be really fun.

    anyway.. I agree that the microphone and touch screen boost are really annoying.. But you can’t some of them.

    I think the most f*d up thing Rare did to butcher the remake was to take out a lot of the original single player features. No trophy race repeats, no battle mode, no boss dialogue and inferior A.I. really messed it up for me for the remake.

    Online does redeem a bit though..

    I still love DKR though. (:

    T.T. is a abbreviation of Tick Tock…

  13. lol913 says:

    No, you are both wrong, he is named T.T.

    i watched this and decided to get it, since i adored the original. i was surprised, it has a lot to it, and not much missing. i didn’t like the boss from dino domain though, they made it a lot easier.

  16. LuigiFan6464 says:

  22. ManArmstrong says:

    This games isn’t bad but I feel the controls’ could have been tighter. And it’s a little bit repetitive.
