BEST GAME EVER SO WORTH IT

This game will hook you in once you play Mario Kart Wii. This game will change the level of your competitiveness 10 fold. This game can also go online up to 2 players on the wifi on the same wii at a time. Now indstead of 8 players in a race there are 12. I say Mario Kart Wii is sooooo worth it but you have to buy the wheel to. This game also has items like a bullet bill which goes super fast and makes you invincible and a star whitch makes you invincible and go faster and about 15 others that are just as good. This game has 32 maps to pick from but inorder to get the last 16 you need to get trophys. This game also has bikes and karts. They can all do tricks in mid air and when they land they get a boost but only bikes can do a wheely and get a small boost which just might get you 1st not 2nd. Also is you hold 2 which is to go at the beginning before it starts you will burn your engine, spin out and be delayed for start for about 3 seconds. This game also has world wide capabilities. It also comes with the wheel. The game only costs $50 and it comes with a wheel. Overall Mario Kart Wii is sooooooooooooooooo worth it.

Best Multiplayer Wii Game!

This is definitely the best multiplayer game for the Wii. There are lots of fun, different courses, plenty of different karts and bikes, and lots of characters (it's great that you can play as your Mii). It's easy to pick up and play for first time players who will get help through better items if they fall behind. It is also a challenge for more experienced players. The multiplayer, both online and local, is the true strength of this game though; it's really great! A must-have game for the Wii!

Mario Kart Wii was another greatly looked forward to game. The main attraction being the wii wheel and online play. Does Mario Kart Wii live up to the hype... read on to find out.
The first thing I'm going to talk about is new tracks and racers. Many people were dissapointed in Mario Kart Double Dash because there were only 16 tracks, In MK (Mario Kart) Wii that is not a problem. The 32 tracks will impress you, but 16 of the 32 are retro. Some of the retro courses are good but some are completely random.
New items are introduced but they aren't that good. In MK Double Dash there were items unique to characters that no other racer could obtain, unfortunately these were not included in MK Wii.
There are new racers which are nice. The inclusion of bikes are nice and offer a different style of racing.
Now Grand Prix is only single player which is a dissapointment. It is basically the same idea with 4 races and best out of the four wins. There is frusterating AI that will go from being in 12th place to 1st in 10 seconds. There is also now 12 racers per game which (for me) makes the game more frantic and annoying.
Battle mode is now also 12 player. A dissapointment is that all battle modes are team based, there is no every man for himself anymore. Battle mode is now singleplayer (Where you play against AI) as well as multi-player.
In time trials you compete for the fastest time possible.
Versus mode is still fun but the since the tracks were built for 12 people they seem really big when you're just playing with just 2 people.
There are frame-rate drops when playing with people in splitscreen.
Online play in Mario Kart Wii is amazing. There is pretty much no lag what so ever. Every regular multi-player mode is there online. You can play against friends or random people(up to 12). There are also tournaments where you race for best time on tracks that may have twists & turns, such as chain chomps running loose in Mario Circuit.
Everybody has been wondering about the wii wheel. The wii wheel is great and responds really quickly on screen. The wheel is small, only a little bit larger than the remote itself. The wheel is a little uncomfortable to start but you will get used to it and become a racing pro.
Mario Kart Wii didn't live up to all of its hype, but the online play blew me away. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys online play or racing. I give this game on a scale from 1-10 (10 being the highest and 1 being the lowest) a 8.2 out of 10.

I have been a Mario Kart fan ever since the Super NES days.
What I love about Mario Kart Wii is how it's essentially reinvented itself...again.
It's got brand new weapons and tracks and characters, but all the old throwbacks as well. I was also quite impressed with how responsive the Wii wheel is.
And, of course, on-line play rocks!!
Drawback: Get used to last-second flukes...they happen a ton in this game and it's really annoying sometimes. Don't be surprised if you're in the lead for the entire race up until the final seconds...that's when you get bombarded by about three things you can't dodge and wind up in 10th place.

BEST Mario Kart Ever!

I have been a Maio Kart fan since the Super Mario Kart first came out on the Super NES. Then I was a fan of Mario Kart on the 64. Then I was a fan of Mario Kart on the Gamecube. Now there is the Mario Kart Wii.
Big selection of characters to choose from, great control with the Wii Wheel, all new power ups, tricks, tracks, carts and the motorbikes! The game makes really good use of the Wiimote.
The graphics aren't that much better than the gamecube, but that really didn't bother me. The sounds are what you would expect from Mario Kart.
Better yet, the Wii version is online ready! Join the WFC or play against a buddy over the internet. The WFC puts players against total strangers all over the world to compete.

Mario Kart Wii is one of the best family games out there for the Wii Console. The game comes loaded with many multi-player options (up to 4 players with battle mode, grand prix mode, etc.), great single play and last but not least online play...What separates this Mario Kart from it's predecessors is that you have to work to unlock additional hidden characters (Diddy Kong, Mii characters, King Boo, etc.) It's especially fun to unlock your own Mii characters which put your own Mii's in the game. Loads of fun for those who would rather be themself then the Nintendo branded characters...Also, instead of the typical use of a direction pad, you are now using the Wii Wheel (one comes per game, additional sold separately) which brings more excitement and realism to the game. The only missing piece to the game are the lack of peddles but then again that would add more cost to this already great title. In the end I'd like to say, if your looking for a title that brings you and your family together, this is the one. However, don't be surprised if you are not able to find this game on the shelf as they are flying off quick!
