Many of the gameplay changes to make the game "easier" feel rather hamfisted and take much of the game's freedom from it. The addition of Dixie and Tiny to make up for the missing two characters due to copyright was a good idea, but the story wasn't. Evil Wizpig taking over an island? RACE HIM! Players were perfectly happy with the story of the adventure mode being vague, trying to make it make sense just makes it seem incredibly stupid instead of just vague. Also; Tiny Kong. If you're gonna include her with two other normally-proportioned monkeys, don't give her the proportions of a human. She looks weird. But at its core, it is still Diddy Kong Racing, and still a fun game to play. The inclusion of multiplayer without requiring multiple game cards is a nice touch.

I loved this game when I was a little kid! When I found out they had it for the Nintendo DS I was thrilled! I bought this game because I loved it when I was a little kid and I still do. The best thing about this game is the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection you're able to Single Race,Trophy Race,Token Tussel and even do battle tracks from the N64 version! There are few things about this game that I don't really care for. Those being... The racing and adventure part is extremely easy and on Wi-Fi Connection theres hardly anyone ever online so you'll be lucky to race against even one player online. But aside from those two things this game is definitely a favorite of mine out of a lot of DS games I own. The graphics are a million times better on the DS than the N64 version which is great! They added quite a lot of new features such as a Balloon Touch Challenge and 4 new characters and your able to make your vehicles different colors other than just yellow and even more features. I would definitely recommend this game for any Diddy Kong Racing fans!Vollständige Rezension lesen
If you liked Diddy Kong Racing for the N64 then Diddy Kong DS is a game for you. The two games are almost identical besides some small changes (Banjo and Conker are no longer available characters). In any case there are different modes to play in such as adventure or single race. In single race you simply go at it and race against some computer players. You can of course still choose your character from a variety of Nintendo characters and also choose your vehicle (Car, Hovercraft or Plane). Adventure mode is similair, however there is a basic plot line and you are not necessarily racing in every challenge. In general you go through several worlds racing to get balloons then beat some bosses. Throughout this you can collect coins to upgrade your vehicles. Another good reason for adventure mode is to unlock everything for multiplayer and single race modes. In multiplayer you can do races or some other challenges as well, this game requires that there be only one person with a copy of the game so that everyone can play. The rest of the players can download the game from whoever has it. Ah yes the wonderful single cartridge play option! In any case there is plenty of enjoyment to be had for all ages in this game.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Pros: they make use of the ds touch screen Cons: they should add a difficultly setting I would buy this game Oh the nostalgia is so over whelming. Diddy Kong Racing basically got an upgrade with some changes being good while others being bad. One change that really stood out is that the game was made much easier. In any case it makes the game a little less challenging. They could have easily added a difficultly setting like easy, medium, and hard to fix that. Because of this I actually prefer playing the old one despite all the nice and new touch features added in. I give this game 8 stars out of 10!
The idea behind Diddy Kong Racing DS is a good one: take Diddy Kong Racing on the Nintendo 64, one of the greatest games ever made, and port it to the Nintendo DS. Unfortunately, the final product falls short of its aspirations and the expectations of many. Diddy Kong Racing DS has the same basic elements of it's predecessor: an interactive adventure mode that allows players to unlock maps, challenges, and characters. The races, challenges, and boss races are fun, and the ability to upgrade your three vehicles is an enticing feature. All in all, this is a half-decent racing game. Sadly, this game has several blemishes that are impossible to overlook. The biggest problem that this game has is one that any person, regardless of whether or not they played the original game, will immediately notice. The game attempts to incorporate the use of the DS touch screen in ways that do not make sense and quickly frustrate any player. In all types of races, players can obtain a boost at the start of a race by using the stylus to slide, spin, or move across the lower screen. This system does not respond very well and even if a player does manage to get the initial boost, he or she now has his or her hand out of position to play causing much fumbling as the player frantically attempts to get back to the controls. Also, the game uses "balloon challenges" to advance adventure mode. These challenges make the player go through the track and attempt to poke balloons (up to 50) with the stylus while moving the screen with the stylus as well. This system also does not work very well. Other than stylus woes, the biggest problem is the differences from the original game. The vehicles do not handle well (especially when compared to the original game), the characters are different (no Banjo or Conker due to Microsoft's acquisition of Rare), the bosses have no voices (one of the comedic high points of the last game) and are easier, the tracks are different (tunnels exist where there should be none, the turns are slightly different, etc.), the items are hard to obtain in race (they must be hit dead center), and other aspects of the game added in (such as drawing tracks on which to race T. T.), while "creative," are superfluous and slow down gameplay. The replay value of this game is very low, as gamers are likely to turn to Mario Kart DS instead (a very successful attempt at a 64 remake and re-vamp). All in all, this is a hollow shell of a much greater game. Diddy Kong Racing veterans will turn off the DS and turn on the 64 to remind them why they had hope for the DS game, and first time players will put down the game, never knowing how good Diddy Kong Racing DS could have been.Vollständige Rezension lesen
