"A solid title that's genuinely good fun. Loads of modes coupled with enjoyable racing makes for a game that we highly recommend. Yes, it might have some minor niggles and the controls might be a little suspect at times, but change the options around and cut the sound and you'll be racing away for hours on end."
Adam Scott Clark: "Overall, Motor Racer DS is a fairly strong title for the Nintendo DS that offers one of the best racing experiences one is likely to find on the platform. There is a great deal of variety to be found and, if played to it's full potential, there is real longevity present. Even after all of the game's challenges are completed, the local multiplayer mode will keep you occupied, albeit not as much as an online mode. The exclusion of online play is disappointing; we would have loved to see features from the PC series –namely, the online leaderboard – present on this handheld outing."
The game has a really nice feature where if you clip a corner or car, or just loose control of your motorbike, you start to wobble fiercely, and you can fall. When this happens a small icon will appear to indicate that you are going to fall off of your bike. However, you can recover from this by braking, which of course slows you down, giving the other opponents an opportunity to overtake you.
This is a very entertaining and feature rich game which through its fast pace keeps you very much entertained, and GDN didn't drive like a woman either so there!
