Sorry to double post, but I just wanted to let everyone know I got this game today.

I really love the single player, but for now that's where I'm staying. I've tried to play Multiplayer over Wifi, but every time I got into a race, I would eventually drop back into 6th place and then I could never catch up. (Watch the IGN.com Video Review to see why.)

Overall, this game is just great. Buy it if you loved the original.

I got this game the other day.  The colors are kind of bright - I prefer the Mario Kart kind of colors.
I've never played against someone with WiFi as NONE of my friends own a DS  :cry: Sad but true.
A friends code thread would be great as I'd love for someone to play Animal Crossing with too  :em-29:

This game has gotten some pretty mixed reviews... some people are saying it's great, while others are saying it is an insult to the origianal.  I don't think I'm going to get it.

I need to get a DS

This game isn't an insult to the original unless you are talking about th voice acting.  The bosses no longer talk and all the character's sound effects make you question their gender... but as for everything else, it's been turned up a notch and then some.  The game is very customizable: car (hovercraft and plane, too) color, engine upgrades, turning upgrades, airtime upgrades (for going off of jumps), pre-made custom designs.  Also, you can have more than one emblem, you can design the posters on the sides of the tracks, you can make custom sound effects, you can also create your own racetracks!  There are many more multiplayer options to choose from, four new tracks, a new quest challenge, many new characters (some have been removed for copyright purposes).  You can do everything with single card that you can with multicard, it only takes longer to load in single card (because everyone is getting new stuff loaded from one person).  On WIFI, you can race up to 6 people (battle mode is still only 4 people).  There are many interesting sidequests in the main quest that have been added, and most of them utilize the microphone and the stylus.  You can get a boost at the beginning of the race, but it takes more skill.  *Deep Breath*  It isn't an insult to the original, has plenty of replay, and has the most convenient WIFI, and single card play out there.
