 Mario Kart for Wii November 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is coming from someone who played all the Mario Kart series except Super Mario Kart for SNESS and Mario Kart for GBA. I have to say this is a must have for any Wii owner!
The Graphics are beautiful. The screenshots on the back of the box says it all. Racing with the Wii wheel is easy and fun! It sometimes feels like your actually driving if you use your imagination! You can race with the game cube controller or the Wii remote and nunchuk if you want. You can even race with your Mii! But you have to unlock it first.
All the courses are great! Some of the classic race tracks from pass Mario Kart games are on it. Rainbow Road on this game is so beautiful! My favorite Race Track is Mario Circut 3 SNESS. I like it because its a classic and it gives me a chance to race on a track from Mario Kart SNESS which is a game I never had the chance to play.
WiFi is Very fun. I've raced against people all over the world! Its really cool! Fortunately Nintendo eliminated snaking, which had ruined
Wi Fi on Mario Kart DS. But you can pop wheelies on the motorcycles which makes you go slightly faster than the cars. There is also this thing called download Mario Kart Channel. Its when you can download your Mario Kart Stats on you Wii menu.
The bad things are the item frequency. It's unbelievable sometimes! I get hit by 2 blue shells in one lap followed by a red shell which is crazy! But don't listen to the people who say that winning is a gamble. Even though I do get hit by a lot of items, I still almost always make it to either 1st 2and or 3rd place. Another bad thing is, depending on the weight of the character, all the karts are basically the same. No one has their own individual kart so whatever character you pick, its just for eye candy.
Overall this is a great game and I recommend it to anyone who owns a Wii. Thanks for reading!
 worth buying - a solid game that will last November 10, 2008

I have two small sons and have trouble finding games that (1) they don't get overly frustrated by and (2) pass the "mom" standard. This game is a winner!
We already had a wheel from the sports package we purchased but the second wheel is necessary for the two player mode. You can play this game by yourself or with two players (in a spilt screen) against all the other racers. There are a few characters to chose from and different types of racing vehicles. My sons love the dirt bike option. There are several racing tracks to choose from with the ice track being the most difficult. Save yourself some tears and steer the little ones away from this option until they get used to the game. Our favorite was racing through the streets.
I will admit that I could not wait to get my own hands on a wheel to try a track when I saw my kids playing. It is a lot of fun and they have not gotten tired of it yet. It still remains a favorite in a rotation that includes Boom Blox - another great option. I also love that this game works for my kids (4-6) as well as their older cousins (7-10). Heck, even adults enjoy it!
It is no fun forking over money for a video game that becomes a flavor of the week (or even month). You will not have to worry about that with this game.

Great game, I played against people online. You just need to set up wi-fi at home.
My whole family was addicted to this games. This game enhance your family relationship.
Dad should buy this for their kids and have some family bonding moment.

Great Multiplayer or Online Racer November 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The best that this version of Mario Kart has going for it is the multiplayer or online play. Both are easy to pick up and play and are easy to get running. Online is really neat to see all of your opponents and where they are from. There's a few cheats lurking around though, so beware. Single player is a whole different issue. The gameplay is extremely unbalanced, leaving some races on the higher difficulties to pure luck. You may run a perfect race only to be slammed by multiple weapons on the last stretch and finish dead last. It WILL happen at least once. The lack of balance can be frustrating when trying to unlock one of the many hidden characters and karts in the game. Bikes are also superior to the karts, which makes them obsolete once the better bikes are unlocked. Overall the graphics are decent but not the best, the music is addictive, and most of the tracks themselves are fun to race. It's just a shame that the powerups completely overwhelm this game. Ditch the wii wheel. You'll play with better control with the wiimote and nunchuk.
