Functionality and technology went to PSP. Everything else I voted for DS.

^what they said. I love those GameTrailers versus rounds. It's well done.

I like each for my own reasons, but DS wins. I really wish the PSP would shape up because it has so much to offer, but those split screen comparisons put it into perspective. DS wins. Period.

I have to say that I was pretty down on the DS coming into 07, but after the trio of awesome games I got for it since Christmas, Elite Beat Agents, Hotel Dusk and Diddy Kong Racing, I'm really happy with it again.

Diddy Kong doesn't come out here for a couple of days does it? That five player non gimped (looking at you Mario Kart) online multiplayer is going to be sweet.

Wow, Diddy Kong Racing! Is it a remake of the original N64 title? Or a pseudo-sequel?

Diddy Kong has been out for like two weeks.

It's essentially a remake with new DS specific content.

Ya but I kinda have to disagree with some fo the new touch screen stuff, it feels tacked on, but hey I loved diddy kong racing on the n64.. Cant wait for the new one.

Wifi sounds fun.

Yes, it does. I never said anything about it not feeling tacked on, though, so that's you just coming up with sh*t again. The way you boost at the beginning of races is awful. It's clear that this is Rare's first DS game. Have you even played it though? If not, how could you "feel" anything about it?

So is it a good game? Or not?

No, it's a great game. The made the hovercraft control pretty badly, but overall it's still a great game. As an overall racer, MKDS is better, but for someone who isn't really a big fan of straight racing, like me, the adventure mode is terrific. And just like the old DKR, there's a ton of unlockable stuff as well.

But you haven't played it, so you can't just say you hate something if you have no experience with it. That's just being ignorant.

Which DS racing games have touch screen controls, besides Diddy Kong? I think I've only played Mario Kart and some other crappy racing game on it so I probably missed the game(s) you're talking about.
