Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Wheels are heated, the engine growls, and the starting countdown is about to begin. Nine opponents who somehow stand in front of me, will be a serious test in three long circles to finish. I'll take it to the right from the start, and on the turn I'll go along the narrow radius forward.

The strategy is good, and it would work if it were not for a banana. I just did not take into account that Bowser would be the first to have a question with the cube and immediately put the weapon into use. This is Mario Kart 8, where you need to be prepared for everything: podlyankam from traveling ahead and pursuers, gifts from cubes and a stubborn fight throughout the race.

Mario Kart 8 does not look like an auto-simulator. This is an infinitely fun game, in which the process itself is much more pleasant than the result. Getting a snail shell in the cards of Princess Peach will bring more pleasure than overtaking it on the turn. Donkey Kong loses leadership because of the banana peel - which is ironic. And to put a bomb to the pursuers and increase the gap - that's the feeling of triumph. Races do not go to the background, the task to come first was not canceled, but the intensity of the struggle and the roar of the engine fade in comparison with the need to get rid of competitors in non-standard ways.

This lesson becomes much more pleasant and more fun, if a couple of your friends take part in the race together with you. At this point, Mario Kart 8 reveals to the full. To drive in the company in any console car is fun, and to win in the competition of two powerful cars due to the technique of entering the turns and the ideal trajectory is pleasant. But this is not the fan that the new Nintendo game gives. Mario Kart 8 fully shows the meaning of the phrase "games are created for entertainment." It, like 1-2-Switch, seems to be designed to play in the circle of friends. It does not lose relevance even in solo play, but to make off the track Link Petya and Yoshi Vitya is much nicer than AI. This applies to all modes.

Mario Kart 8 allows you to play alone, alone with the use of joysticks and over the network, online or through wireless play. Four modes give a small variation, but this is enough to prevent the game from getting bored of the game session. I'm most impressed with the Battle mode. This is a softer analog of Carmageddon, where the task is to hit opponents as many times as possible. A couple dozens of tracks, a lot of opponents and endless tricks to achieve the goal. I repeat, in the company it looks much better. Perhaps this is the only disadvantage of the game - one in it is not so fun to play and exciting.

Impressive and amazing world of Nintendo. The developers skillfully transferred to Mario Kart 8 all the contents of the games studio. On the tracks, other titles are easily guessed (if you are familiar with them), unexpected turns and a change in the landscape will surprise, and flights from one turn to the other will give a breath and enjoy the world of a small racing world. The game world of Mario Kart 8 was created from projects, which worked on a lot of cool game designers. He carries away bright colors, characters, interiors and racers. Even an unfamiliar with the Nintendo gamer will be surprised at the number of familiar things to him.

Mario Kart 8 copes with the main task of video games - it entertains the owner and brings into his life fun. An important role in this play familiar from childhood characters: Luigi, Toad, Yoshi or Shrednyaga want to be the first and will give the player a lot of problems. In the first few dozen times it seems that they are the same in management, but then you start to notice the difference. The bower is heavy, but it can not be moved from the track, Mario is maneuverable and desperate - each character is unique. The same applies to technology: all cards behave differently, they are different and do not look alike. At the same time, there is no strategy or winning combination - the factor of objects from cubes with the question affects your future in the race.

After a couple of weeks with the game, I can say with certainty that she will not get bored. I'm also fun to play it, as in the first days after receiving a review copy. On the way to work, at dinner - Nintendo Switch gives mobility in the game, and one race will not take more than 10 minutes. The only question is how to stop yourself from another test by bombs, bananas and beautiful trails.

Mario Kart 8 once again emphasizes the potential of Nintendo Switch in the cooperative game. The game gives bright emotions and dilutes the monotonous circles with funny situations with the racers. This is not an auto-simulator at all, these are favorite heroes who have got into cards and continue to have fun on the track. Just like gamers at the screen.

The first reason to buy a Nintendo Switch is called The Legend of the Zelda. Mario Kart 8 - the second and not less bright.
