A few quotes from EDGE’s Mario Kart 8 review
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
We know that EDGE handed out a 9 / 10 score to Mario Kart 8. But what did the magazine actually say about Nintendo’s new racer?
CVG picked out a few quotes, starting with the following:
“Even 2011’s effervescent 3DS outing, Mario Kart 7, feels somewhat lifeless by comparison. The new HD visuals are gorgeous, but Nintendo has also built on 7’s neatly interlaced mechanics and introduced a nuanced handling model to create the greatest Mario Kart yet.”
EDGE had some criticism for Mario Kart 8’s Balloon Battle mode’s arenas, but the publication still said that the game “is as essential a purchase as Super Mario 3D World.”
