You knew this was going to be a big one, and it's getting big scores to match the hype. Rehash? Maybe. Fun? See what the critics are saying:

-
Yahoo! Games: 4.5/5 "Multiplayer Mario Kart is, in a nutshell, an absolute blast. If you want to see a room full of grown men and women revert into hyperactive, obscenity-laden teenagers, just put the game in their hands and let them go at it."
