Mario Kart DS (Nintendo DS, 2005)

Mario Kart DS is so AWESOME online. It is so easy to use with my router and Nintendo is second to none for offering world-wide play for FREE. It is so cool to chat with world-wide players. We have set up a racing circuit, in the friend mode, with people we met by chance. We enjoy racing them and chatting, so now they are our FRIENDS, and are easily located. You only need one DS cartridge to play against family members, that gets a High 5 for Nintendo, from this family. This racing game is fun for kids as well as the kid in all of us, who like great family entertainment. There are over 30 courses, and you can be anyone of 8 characters. The characters are a riot, their antics are amuzing. This game utilizes the special features of the DS system very well, I can see why Nintendo promoted this game with a DS system. If I had only one game to play on my DS, this would be the game. Nintendo has created a great gaming system, and future games will only enhance what an AWESOME system and value, the DS is.
