Diddy Kong Racing DS (NDS)

Hi boys and girls its me Yuuki here with Diddy Kong Racing for the DS. Though basically a remake there are a few new things that make it acceptable.

Gameplay: Well its the same as previous versions of the game. Go, stop, shoot giant missle and steer. Now though there is a little moment before each race where the mic and the touch screen are used in order to get a little boost. You use the stylus or blow in the mic depending on the vechicle to obtain a boost at the begining of the match. 4/5

Story: Other than a few new characters its the same as the last one you race to beat the evil pig monster and at the end you race him. The only real difference now besides the characters is the miny games that you are required to do to progress. Some are fun most are annoying tedium. 2/5

Graphics: Being a port from the 64 it doesn't look very different. Nothings changed much here other than the glitches of the 64 have been removed. 2/5

Audio: Okay like the orginal all the themes outside the races are the smae song repeating in different tempos...its cute at first then its freaking annoying. The race themes though are fun and its nice to hear your opponents curse at you in there little animal talk. 3/5

Replay: Well if you played the orginal then this is a replay or more like an expansion pack and if you haven't then you'll prolly only play through once. The saving grace is the mulitplayer is almost on par with Mario Kart. 3/5

Overall: Okay the game is good except for the fact it just a port with touch screen friendly stuff added on most of which are just tedium and not really that enjoyable. Beat the game design your own vehicles and racetracks and race with your friends and you'll find your value in this game. 3/5
