Well, so far I've seen 3 printed reviews. The scores are 100, 98, and 100. The 98 was the highest rating that magazine ever gave. One of the 100s is from IGN, who last gave a 100 to Soul Calibur for Dreamcast (which deserved it, IMO). The UK magazine that gave it a 98 basically said it is probably the best game ever made. I didn't read through the whole IGN review, just the last couple of pages to read about multiplayer, and they spoke highly of it.
I don't know what Nintendo was thinking, releasing Mario Kart so close to GTA IV. I know it caters to different audiences (in some ways), but c'mon. Why would I bother buying a cute little one-trick racing game where I can do the same thing, online, with voice chat, and have rocket launchers instead of turtle shells? Bad move.
