As an apology for Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart 7
gets high marks indeed, and it definitely has the depth and longevity to remain in constant rotation on my 3DS.
Tolkien says it best: «It is the
mark of a good fairy - story, of the
higher or more complete kind, that however wild its events, however fantastic or terrible the adventures, it can give to child or man that hears it, when the «turn» comes, a catch of the breath, a beat and lifting of the heart, near to (or
indeed accompanied by) tears, as keen as that given by any form of literary art... In such stories, when the sudden «turn» comes we
get a piercing glimpse of joy, and heart's desire, that for a moment passes outside the frame, rends
indeed the very web of story, and lets a gleam come through.»
