    Here's the deal. I want a new game, and here are two, big, promising titles coming out within a week only a few days apart. I want both of them, but I'm running a bit low on cash.

    Mario Kart's cheaper at $50, but GTA IV has more game packed in it. I intend to own both eventually and I'll pick up the game I decide against when I have more monies, which hopefully won't take too long.

    I'm leaning a bit towards GTA IV. But I'd like to hear what you guys think. Heck, if you all think I should get Mario Kart and give good reasons why, I might change my mind.

    (Split, I know I said GTA is overrated, but IV looks like an improvement)

      Did you play any of the previous installments? Go with the game you enjoyed more.
      I personally enjoyed GTA more, so that's my recommendation.

      Oh, if you aren't crazy about Multiplayer (like you and your friends playing together) Mario Kart gets boring quickly imo.

        I'd say get GTA4. It's shaping up to be an awesome-looking game, and the downloadable content should keep you playing for months, maybe years.

        At the moment, Mario Kart just looks like Mario Kart.

          I believe the PS3 version doesn't get DLC.

            O rly? Try for the PC version then. You'll probably get a framerate boost anyway.

                There's no PC version atm. As far as DLC goes, PS3 users get some crappy thing in the PS3 society, "Playstation Home". (if when it comes out)

                    When a Nintendo fanboy like myself tells you to get GTA4 you know there's something wrong. But seriously, GTA4 is probably a better game. MKWii is just... Mario Kart. Which means it's nothing special, and very over-rated. Then again, I've never been a fan of the series...

                      GTA would have more to do in it, and this Mario Kart doesn't look as good as previous games in my opinion.

                        GTA IV for single player, MK for multi.

                        That's my stance.

                        Go with MK if you have friends over often who would play it. GTA IV if you don't.

                            GTA IV. No doubt about it. You get a whole city to explore, not just confined to roads and the central area, but you can go inside each individual building, you can climb onto rooftops. I'm not even that hyped about GTA IV but the scale of it is just so immense. Mario Kart doesnt even begin to compare with GTA IV.

                              Mario Kart Wii will win. Don't ask me hy, it just will.

                                  Get GTA, I dont think a game of this scale ( apart from Oblivion) has ever been created before. It doesn't have the worlds best graphics, but when you can skyjack helicopters, who cares?

                                    Oh...I misunderstood the topic...lol.
                                    I would go with Mario Kart Wii. The reason why is that its Mario Kart, which is always fun, and this title looks even more innovative. Multiplayer is always a blast, and MKWii has the best online play for the Wii thus far (with the MKWii channel and all that jazz).
                                    GTA is fun too...but it gets way too repetitive. Go get these drugs, go shoot this guy...its boring. The only fun part is driving around killing people...

                                    So yah, go with MKWii.

                                    Because the game is really popular, maybe?

                                      You underestimate GTA IV's popularity. Seriously, it's probably THE most hyped game for 2008

                                        Kay so GTA is repetitive. If GTA is repetitive then you can say Mario Kart's repetitive. All you do is race lols.

                                          You underestimate GTA IV's popularity. Seriously, it's probably THE most hyped game for 2008

                                          Not really...a big hype is like SSBB or Halo 3. I haven't seen anything for GTA IV...and its the second most popular game right now on IGN (behind MKWii)...point is, they're both gonna be great games and will sell a **** load of copies.

                                            GTA is more popualar than Mario Kart anyway.

                                            And if this counts for anything...

                                              Stop using gaming sites as evidence :wacko: You really havent seen the bulk of GTA IV's hype at all. On X3F, I dont know anybody who isnt excited about GTA IV. And that's a board with over 2 million members.

                                                My prediction: GTAIV will be the biggest selling title of 2008.

                                                      Because he was not 100% sure and wanted more opinion on the matter.

                                                      Being a Nintendo fanboy is a very dark road, I steered from it and saw the light very recently.

                                                      But yeah GTAIV looks amazing, and even the multiplayer is supposed to be good!

                                                        No, because you think that GTA IV has little hype. The hype isn't as big as Brawl had or Halo 3 (I guess) but it's definitely there, and bigger than Mario Kart.

                                                        I asked because I'm not actually a big GTA fan and I liked Mario Kart DS.

                                                          The reason why is that its Mario Kart, which is always fun, and this title looks even more innovative.

                                                          Kart racers are rarely innovative, and it doesn't look like MK is going to stray much from the formula from what I've seen.

                                                              You underestimate GTA IV's popularity. Seriously, it's probably THE most hyped game for 2008

                                                              I'd say that title goes to MGS4.

                                                                              So anyhow my stance is confirmed on getting GTA IV first. I'm old enough to buy it myself, I just hope that my mom doesn't care. =/ Otherwise I might end up with Mario Kart.

                                                                              It's pathetic that I have to even worry about that, I know.

Nintendo Fanboys, like M$ and Sony Fanboys are little douche bags that never shut the **** up about the gayest and randomest ****.
                                                                                  Whereas a Nintendo Fan likes Nintendo the most out of the companies, loves the games, but ISN'T a douche, and likes non-Nintendo genres as well.

                                                                                          It's not better than most Zelda titles, but its easily better than Twilight Princess, which was a major dissapointment for me... I like the art style of Okami though. Thats one of the things that influenced me to want it.

                                                                                                              How does the dodging maneuver work? I heard its pretty sloppy.


                                                                                                              i have no idea for the wii, but PS2 its a simple press of L2.

                                                                                                              The wii mote controls are always going to compare less favourably to a PS2/GC pad

                                                                                                                                  its obvious GTA will sell more as living being has preordered it.


                                                                                                                                  That's the point I wanted to make, the games are "incompatible" for comparison. Different genres, different gameplay, different demographics.

                                                                                                                                  I will abstain from voting. However, I will say that GTA IV has *unbelievable* depth to it, the likes of which probably has never been achieved in gaming.

                                                                                                                                  To its defense, I do think Mario Kart Wii will be one of the best games in the series to date. Not that it's much different, but that's what preview builds of the kart-racer have indicated.

When I said you need to have your own opinion, I was talking about using IGN for evidence, because that's not your opinion, is it ( and also because IGN are horribly biased)

                                                                                                                                                    So, you finally found out it's not "cool" being a Nintendo fan, huh? Man... I feel sorry for any company who has fans like you. Instantly changing your mind on who is better, and whose games are funner is really two-faced. If Nintendo was to suddenly become the "cool" company you would be complaining about "Being a Sony/Microsoft fanboy is a very dark road etc." You remind me of Caael.

People should take each console for its pros and cons, swallow their pride and stop preaching

But I play only on the Wii because there are more games on Nintendo consoles I want to play than there are on others.

Jesus no, please don't think I'm that kind of fanboy! As a company, I dislike Nintendo in so many ways(as I do most other companies), but I simply love their games. That's why I buy Ninty consoles.

                                                                                                                                                              Does anyone remember when Nintendo sent George Bush a free DS and a game(can't remember which one) for his birthday? I think it was a year/two years ago... Anyhow, I was so pissed off and disgusted with Nintendo when that happened. I have been buying their consoles and games for over ten years and have never owned a rival company console, I have spent so much money on their over-priced products, yet they send a free DS to that idiot?! They should have sent it to me, those little ***-kissing freaks...

Jesus no, please don't think I'm that kind of fanboy! As a company, I dislike Nintendo in so many ways(as I do most other companies), but I simply love their games. That's why I buy Ninty consoles.

Learn what a word means before you try and use it as an insult.

                                                                                                                                                                              Lawl. Its a slang term...like ******.

                                                                                                                                                                              And the way I would get GTA 4 is if my xbawcks 360 ever gets fixed, which I doubt it will.

That is if it isn't sold out. Kingston is full of GTA fans(no surprise there).

Douche just makes you sound like an 11 year old retard. Nice try though.

And 12 racers sounds like a big improvement to other MK's if you ask me. Not to mention that there are about 145 vehicles to choose from.

However, MKWii has online multi(like MKDS), so you won't even have to play against CPU's ever.

I think Soulcalibur II had a part to play also. I got it as a Christmas present (PS2 version for ftl ;_:( and it was honestly more addicting =)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        We don't live in an ideal world. And let's face it, most people like things that they are familiar with and characters that they've seen before.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Exactly. After all, would Brawl have gotten the same hype if it had 30 completely new characters in?

And let's face it, most people like things that they are familiar with and characters that they've seen before.

They are not 'concrete'. They are opinions. You may favour one over the other, but they are never neccessarily right. Dont base your opinions on what a review said, YOU choose how good a game is.

WW was, imo, the worst Zelda game. Well, never played PH and MM.

That's why a review should be taken with a pinch of salt.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Anyway, Famitsu gave WW a perfect score, so I hardly think Famitsu is really the only credible review source. WW was, imo, the worst Zelda game. Well, never played PH and MM.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      WW was better than Twilight Princess in most ways. Just saying, my opinion.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      On that note, reviews shouldn't be entirely discredited. While I don't argue with a fair amount of them, and I often wish that there were no numerical ratings given to games, they can be a good way to get a general idea of how much polish and development went into a game, and how it plays altogether.

And while it isn't my "type" of video games, I still can definitely appreciate a great gaming experience all the same.

Apparently, everyone says it's got a TON of content that will keep you playing for months.

The main point was that I've bought a lot of video games lately and I need to focus on my studies, particularly in French and Algebra. They have no idea, I don't buy as many video games or play them as much as a lot of people, but I'm not going to complain. What's the point?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                The other point was that my mom doesn't want to see or hear GTA playing the house. Which is fair, she lives here too, and the game IS obscene and vulgar. I actually planned on playing the game while she was out, but whatever. So this means I can wait until classes start to slow down for summer, or summer to start, and try to reach a compromise (my mom is more, er, open-minded I guess than it seems like she is here) or I can wait for the PC version of GTA IV. It's easier to hide violent games on a small monitor than on a big, 50" HDTV...

Either they've all been overamazed, or the game really is that good.

I can't believe they'd do that. Did they do it in Mario Kart DS?

They only cheat in 150cc, and that's how it's in MKWii too. But the point of MKWii is the online multiplayer, and there will be no cheating there.

If " the entire point" of MKWii was online play, why they even bother with the rest? Its Halo 3 syndrome again, using the game's suppodedly brilliant multiplayer to try and justify why the single player is bloody terrible

I never used the word entire.

So here goes! We've got Mario Kart and GTA IV launching this week. What in the hell was Nintendo thinking?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            This is one of the last big games for the Wii in the foreseeable future. I mean unless they pull a miracle out of thier *** at E3 or Spaceworld. Which they may well do. I mean this IS Nintendo. Good chance we'll see a new DS very soon. But it's looking like a slow year for the Wii and a great time for the PS3 to play some catch up. With HD DVD dead in the water this may be PS3s year to shine.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Now Mario Kart is by no means bad. Shawn brought over his copy at NY Comicon and I enjoyed what I played. Feels much more like Mario Kart DS which is a very good thing. Here's the thing though... We've seen like 3 Karts in the past 5 years. It's starting to feel same old same old. This one like DS is online but, like Brawl it's really a half assed attempt.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Anyway I digress. I am looking forward to playing both titles. However with 15 online modes WITH VOICE and freeroaming deathmatches. I think one may be played more than the other. Just a hunch. Nintendo would have done well to hold on to Mario Kart Wii until Summer and make it shine. Because when competing directly with GTA IV... this is mediocre attempt.

Meh. I'll pick up Mario Kart Wii eventually, but other games are coming before it.
