But does the game live up to the high expectations set by Nintendo?

Absolutely.Mario Kart 8has very few flaws.

But with that very minor flaw aside, the game is a much needed achievement by Nintendo.

Mario kart 8 review

For one, it looks absolutely gorgeous.

Each track has its own flavor and looks great, and runs without any graphical hiccups.

Every character model is also beautifully rendered, along with their unique carts.

But thats okay; the point is that there are options.

Yet, gameplay is simplistic enough so that theres no barrier to entry.

Generally,Mario Kart 8is just one of those games that is pure fun.

Whats not to love?

But, Nintendos online multiplayer presence has never been its strong suit.

Mario Kart 8is now Nintendos magnum opus.

Im okay with that.
