im a decent guy but swear ALOT in games especially when frustrated and can understand why theres no in game chat on mk and it dosnt bother me at all

I don't use serious swear words ever, but I was playing MK8 online today, and the words (suck my) d!ck(sucker), crap and frink (fake expletive from a book I use) were being thrown around a loooot. Like every couple seconds.

Yeah public voice chat is definitely a terrible idea for Mario Kart.

This was a very well put together review! Loved the beginning going through the emotions of playing MK8. lol.

 

I couldn't give it a 10 myself but certainly a 9.5 if we are rounding off for very minor complaints. Battle mode generally gets a lot of dislike for the lack of arena tracks but really when to comes to 12 players online using the racetracks works IMO. If you are playing 4 player local that's when I can see it sucking though. Either way I'd still like to have battle arenas as an option but have no complaints with the current set up as I just generally play online.

 

I remember watching Gamespot's review and the reviewer complained there were too many car parts. WTH? Seriously.

 

Great review.

Yea, I get why people want it, but there's no denying that I agree with Nintendo's choice to not include it in-race, simply because it would just be streams of obscenities.  People want to hear their friends get angry or whatnot, but... I haven't found myself wishing there was voicechat whatsoever.  Unlike games like CoD where teamwork can benefit from it, there really isn't a "gameplay" benefit for Mario Kart 8...
