IGN and Gamespot Review: Mario Kart 64 (VC)
IGN
Mario Kart 64 arrived in America almost exactly 10 years ago, and the fans found it immediately. The game was a phenomenal sales success for Nintendo, selling over a million copies in just its first two months on the market, and paving the way for more great multiplayer games (like GoldenEye) to come later that same year. If you never owned an original Kart cartridge, consider this download. But if you've still got the old N64, four dust-covered controllers and the game itself sitting in a closet somewhere, do some digging. This re-release comes close to capturing the full spirit of the original version, but playing it old-school remains superior.
Score: 7.9

Mario Kart 64 may hold nostalgic value for some, but if you've spent any time with the more recent entries in the series, you'll find this version difficult to go back to.
Score: 6.2
