| I couldn't get on WFC last night either. Perhaps they didn't anticipate this kind of server load.
I grade-A'd the last of the 50cc so I'm learning the bikes on 100cc now. I really don't like how squirrley the handling is and,for some reason, the top speed is lower than the karts (unless you're wheelie-ing). This makes cornering more important but you have less control to do it with AND you can't get gold sparks... I don't like the bikes so far but maybe I just don't "get it" yet.
I unlocked Rosalina and great Zeus' beard that star thing is annoying! Yoshi on a bike seems much better than Yoshi in a kart but I don't like Toad, Rosalina, Wario or Peach's bikes. I haven't tried Boo's but who knows. Wario's chopper, you would think, would be a good bike but it's just a huge, clunky pig. That is somewhat expected and perhaps it would be OK if it had a high top speed but... it doesn't.
The principal complaint I have against the bikes is the wheelie thing. It's the bike's only advantage but the steering is so squirrley that it's almost useless. Moreover, you need an upward jerk to engage it and this almost always disturbs your steering. If you don't pay attention enough and engage it when you don't want -such as while cornering- it's Mr. Wall for you. Again, perhaps I'll get the feel down but at this point I don't think the bikes are as nice as the karts.
The game is still pretty frustrating at how communist it is. I hate blue shells... unless someone else is in the lead. |
