Yeah.

Next Saturday. I might go. I'm trying to find how many laps it says you can do but can't find it.

It's just one lap apparently, but it says something about 2-4 particapants and whoever gets the best time wins. 2-4 players on TTs? Roll Eyes

Lol

Maybe they just take turns or something, I can't see how it would be that hard to do.

I hate how all these pre-release tournaments don't even let you get ten minutes of playtime in to at least partially adjust to the physics. All you can do is hope that everybody else in your area is garbage. Not that this concerns me at all though, EBGames never does anything and NOC's idea of an event is bringing a few smartcars with Wiis in them Smiley

In the terms and conditions, it says that you are allowed as many attempts as you want, but you must join the back of the queue. However the staff reserve the right to kick you off if you take a ridiculous number of tries.

Lets hope someone from this site wins

If the rules suck (items?), it could just be a total crapshoot. It already says 2-4 player matches so I'm not too hopeful for a fair competition Undecided

I will be playing for sure in either Glasgow or Edinburgh branch

Would anyone actually drive this?

I might pop up to the oxford st branch.. if you had too many attempts you could go to the hamleys one around the corner on regent st

My advice would be to get there early and take up a good position to watch.. then at 2pm after woatching for hours start getting some runs in and keep going back in the queue.. keep your DS handy for when you get bored

I went to the Oxford street branch today.

I dont like the Wheel personally, i dont think any MKDS players mainly will like it either.

It feels all weird after being so used to playing normally, the handeling is horrible too.

I was in 1st on my second attempt but then when i was cruising towards the finish line i turned around to tell my freind i had won (moving the wheel in the process) making me hit a wall and ending up in 6th in the end. Sad

I was pissed off Lips Sealed

But meh, the wheel sucks IMO.

And when i tryed to MT its like the kart just hopped back out of the MT, sorta like it does when you have a broken R button or something.

Hopefully the Gamecube controller will make it better.

Im still buying the game for sure.

Just wondering, if anyone made it through and what times did they manage to get. I had 1:40:66 and i was in 1st place from 9:30 -3pm but then.... in the last two hrs two people managed to beat my time becasue they got very lucky on items lol, the bastards got stars and golden mushroom while they were in 3rd 4th in the race and i was like wtf. But i had few crack at it after, and i almost beat them again (no help from items) but couldnt pull through because if i wasnt hit by a lightening bolt it was blue shell lol, oh well that's grand prix for you.

By the way i participated in the Portsmouth GAME, and the winner was a pretty funny guy called Matt or Dave (can't remember) and his time was 1:37:XX. He put up a good fight and he plays super competitively in load of other games so he was a deserved winner.

Comment about the game are it pretty good from first impression, wii wheel is gay fullstop, and i managed to play on the mushroom gorge track at the end of the tournament when the people who were running it were in the back getting there stuff Tongue

BenB Karter Offline missed 6971 mts UK Gender:	Re: UK Game Stores April 5th Reply #23 - 04/05/08 at 09:16:38 It wasn't bad, but I would much prefer a normal control pad. With the wheel it seemed to make my MTs face the wrong direction quite a few times, might just be lack of experience though. did you try to do any wheelies on the bikes? I forgot about them whilst I was there, and the staff never mentioned them either.
