Mario Kart 8 Un messaggio dal produttore di Chocobo GP 3 Commenta (Interruttore / Cambia eShop)
Nintendo è tornata con un'altra ondata di otto corsi per il Mario Kart 8 Pass per corsi di potenziamento Deluxe, portandoci a metà strada della sua road map complessiva. Ora siamo arrivati a un totale di 24 nuove tracce su sei coppe uniche, ma così lontano, l'output è stato un po 'confuso: abbiamo avuto alcuni classici in buona fede come Coconut Mall e Mushroom Gorge, ma anche alcuni schifosi assoluti come New York Minute e Tokyo Blur. Quindi, come si confronta l'ultima ondata? Bene per fortuna, c'è molto qui da apprezzare e meno uova marce nel mix, rendendo questo comodamente il lotto di nuovi corsi più forte mai realizzato.
A cominciare dalla Rock Cup, abbiamo London Loop, Boo Lake, Passo Alpino, e Maple Treeway. Le cose cominciano un po' male, poiché London Loop è facilmente la traccia più debole dell'intero gruppo; this might come as little surprise given that it’s based on Tour Mario Kart and lacks the verticality and creativity seen in other games, but there’s no doubting that London Loop is an exceptionally dull start to Rock Cup. Conversely, the latter three courses are all remarkably fun in their own way, from Boo Lake’s deceptive simplicity to Maple Treeway’s meandering track and stomping Wigglers. It’s great fun and incredibly nostalgic if you’ve played the original games on which the tracks come from.
Moving onto the Moon Cup, this one introduces Berlin Byways, Peach Gardens, Montagna allegra, and Rainbow Road. Every course here is a certified banger, with Berlin Byways proving to be a significant improvement over London Loop with a lot more variety and some lovely views. Montagna allegra, also from Tour, is an absolute delight, and it serves as a perfect treat for anyone looking to get into the Christmas spirit. It arguably boasts the strongest sense of verticality of the whole roster and looks absolutely gorgeous to boot.
Many were citing Maple Treeway as the potential star of Wave 3 ahead of its release, ma onestamente, the 3DS version of Rainbow Road is undoubtedly the best track on offer. Combining a wonderful layout with absolutely exquisite visuals, this is genuinely one of the strongest tracks in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (and Mario Kart overall), periodo. It might not offer a lot of challenge to veterans of the series, but crank the difficulty up to 200cc and you’ll be in heaven.
Aside from London Loop, the only other major complaint we have with Wave 3 is a familiar one: the sheer inconsistency with the visuals. While Rainbow Road, Acero Treeway, and Merry Mountain all look gorgeous, tracks like Alpine Pass and Peach Gardens stand out in the worst way possible, with oddly artificial-looking scenery and bland, flat textures. È un peccato, but not a deal breaker, and the better-looking courses seem to have upped their game from the previous Waves.
Mario Kart 8 Un messaggio dal produttore di Chocobo GP 3 is the best update yet to the base game. The tracks on offer here are mostly stellar, and with the addition of customisable item loadouts in ‘VS Race’ modes both online and offline (which is available to all players, regardless of whether you have the Booster Course Pass), Onda 3 is a triumph and a great way to mark the halfway point of the Booster Course Pass.
