Product Description
Diddy Kong Racing DS is a decent racer with plenty to do and some interesting new content, but the seemingly endless number of tasks you must complete to enjoy all of it may irritate anyone who simply wants to race.
Almost 10 years later, the game is back, having gotten a touch-up similar to what Nintendo did with Super Mario 64 DS.The core game is mostly unchanged, but there are new race modes, new characters, touch-screen controls, and even online multiplayer.If you didn't like the original game, there's nothing here that's going to change your mind, and it's certainly no threat to the Mario Kart series, but it is a solid racing game that, good or bad, has enough content to keep you busy for a very long time.
There are eight characters playable from the outset:Diddy Kong, Pipsy, TipTup, Dixie Kong, Timber, Tiny Kong, Bumper, and Krunch;Banjo and Conker, who were in the original, are nowhere to be found.Unlike most racing games, Diddy Kong Racing has a story to explain why you're racing.
Rather than letting you choose a series of races from a menu, Diddy Kong's races are located in themed hubs (snow, dinosaur, beach, volcano...), which are spread across the island.The island is large, but it's mostly devoid of things to do, and it gets tedious driving from one hub to the next...
