Gaming Jim Sterling gives Mario Kart 7 a 5/10

[ProtoKun7]

The sad thing about the source link is that people are actually believing this guy.

This is literally the first time I ever heard about this.

Really?

Then you're lucky. The idea was nice, but it was too gimmicky and too hard to actually do. Sometimes I had to blow practically an entire days worth of breath to get the balloon half-inflated and on other times if i blew very soft it would inflate immediately. Everyone hated it.

I actually liked that ability. Do remember, it's a microphone, so it'll pick up the sound. You don't have to blow hard, just blow loudly.

An alternative was just to hold Select, although that was slower. Ashame that there doesn't seem to be a way to inflate balloons at all in this one. Plus there's the time limit now; I don't like that either.


And as mentioned, the total lack of a single player VS. mode is a frustration (to me, for one).
