That I'm sitting here in 2017 and writing a review of Mario Kart 8 definitely seems strange. I have played this game before – a lot – and now I'm revisiting the same game under very different circumstances.
The definitive version of Mario Kart 8; Wonderful tracks and characters with beautiful graphics; Battle mode is everything we wanted the first time around
Rubberbanding will frustrate every player from time to time; Mario Kart 8 veterans may not have enough to warrant another purchase; Too expensive for a re-release of a three year old game
