Great, Entertaining, Fun Game!

This is an excellent game for the wii! It is extremely fun to play and can keep both adults and kids alike entertained for hours. The only negative I can see about this game is that it takes some time to acquire all characters, and you have to do the time trials to unlock some (which is not as fun as playing opponents). I find myself online all of the time with people around the world playing this game, and it is so much fun! I highly recommend to all wii owners... if you have a wii, this is a must own game.

I bought this over a month ago and I'm still having a lot of fun playing it. It's a great game to play with people and actually works well as a social video game. Single player is also fun and get difficult enough to keep it interesting. Racing is definitely a lot better than battle mode but it still is a great game. Playing online is nice touch as well. The only problem is the learning curve when using the Wii Wheel. It takes a little time to get used to but it's definitely a fun way to play the game.

Mario Kart the best racing game for the Wii!
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I personally think that Mario Kart Wii will be the best racing game for the Wii. It even has a Wii wheel packaged to the game. You can use the Wii wheel, wii remote with nunchuk, wii remote alone, classic controller, and the Gamecube controller. But best of all, it will feature Wi-Fi where you can go race against people around the world. Also, new tracks, cars, and characters for this highly anticipated racing game for the Wii. I highly recommend this game for all hardcore Nintendo fans.

I fully enjoyed this game, it was great after the wait for it! I definitely preferred using the wiiwheel to using the classical controller but I think that is an individual preference as I have a friend who enjoys using the classic remote. My only disappointment were that the graphics weren't as superior as those that appear in other wii games (Like Super Mario Galaxy). It's a great game and fun for the whole family so that helps, I would strongly recommend it.

MARIO KART WII RULES!
Absolute best wii multi-player game. There are awesome new tracks and some of the best past tracks too. Power sliding is not as dominant of a feature this year, but the power boosts you get from flicking the control for air jumps are sweet!
There are fun new items like a bullet and you can even draft the player in front of you to get a boost!
The best feature from the game is the number of nintendo characters. So many too choose from!

This is a great game! The controls are simple, and it's perfect for any age or skill level. I love the Wii Wheel, it is—in my opinion—the only way to play this game. Also, it's fun to race people from all over the globe with wi-fi. Another great feature is the motorbike mode: it's fun and it adds a whole new aspect to the game! The one—though rather minor—downfall is that it lacks the Battle option 'Bo-Bomb Blast'! But all the other pros vastly outweigh this.

The Craziest Racing game ever
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Mario Kart Wii is one of the craziest racing games that I have ever played. With the craziest tracks. In this game Nintendo brings you race tracks from all of the nintendo systems. The Nes, The Snes, even the n64. There are many different things to do in this game, like compete in a balloon battle vs the blue team, or unlock all of the cups in the Grand Prix. Bottom line, this is one of the best games that I have ever played. And I recommend it to everyone.

Great game makes great franchise better

This is a great game that adds to many of the fantastic titles that the Wii already has to offer. The Wii wheel adds a new driving mechanic to those who have not played some of the other driving games already out on Wii. It doesn't really make the game any easier or harder with or without the wheel but since it's already packaged with the game, why not use it? There are plenty of unlockables throughout the game that will keep you busy for a while. The addition of bikes to the game really adds an interesting aspect to the gameplay because you are no longer restricted to only driving a cart. Bikes and Carts can race together, each with thier own strengths and weaknesses. The best part of the game by far is it's online capability. You can connect with friends or with random people from around the world and race or battle against each other. There is little or no lag (depending on your connection) and games are started within seconds. Some people complained about the online problems that Smash brothers Brawl had but it seems like either this game does not have the same problems or that nintendo was able to fix these problem within the month that it's been since Brawl came out.
The only real problem I have with the game is it's catch-up logic on 150cc single player. The other computer controlled characters seem to get every power-up it needs to make sure you don't win the race. It takes a lot of luck and some really masterful driving to make sure you can pass 150cc with an "A" rating. But, it seems like Nintendo found this problem and fixed it on multi-player which is a plus.
Overall I think this game is great and should belong to all Wii owners whether they are seasoned veterans of Mario Kart or first time owners.

Just like the previous versions of Mario Kart this GAME lives up to them all and passes them. The graphics are nice, the incorporated old tracks and new tracks are sweet and the new playing characters. PLUS playing online is WAY more fun than regular play because you are racing against other people :), My Boyfriend passed the game so I use his license to race online lol but it wasnt a easy game to pass it took some time!

KART RACING AT IT'S BEST!!!!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I'VE BEEN PLAYING THIS SERIES SINCE IT BEGAN ON THE SNES. WHILE GRAPHICALLY, THIS GAME HAS MADE SOME LEAPS AND BOUNDS OVER ITS PREDECESSORS. HOWEVER, THE FUN AND SIMPLE GAMEPLAY REMAINS. THERE ARE PLENTY OF FAMILIAR TRACKS TO CHOOSE FROM. IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE SERIES, YOU'LL INSTANTLY RECOGNIZE TRACKS FROM PREVIOUS GAMES THAT INVOLVE THE HAUNTED HOUSE, BOWSWER'S PALACE, RAINBOW ROAD, PRINCESS PEACH'S CASTLE AND VARIOUS OTHERS. THIS GAME CAN BE PLAYED BY ALL AGES AND IS A GREAT PARTY GAME. THIS CAN ALSO BE PLAYED ONLINE VERSUS UP TO 8 PLAYERS. NINTENDO BROUGHT BACK MANY OF THE WEAPONS THAT WE'VE COME TO RECOGNIZE AS SERIES STAPLES ALONG WITH A FEW NEW SURPRISES. BATTLE MODE IS ALSO BACK IN FINE FASHION. I SHOULD ALSO ADD THAT THE INCLUSION OF MOTORCYCLES ON TOP OF KARTS ADD A SLIGHT TWIST IN THE PLAY MECHANICS. THE GAME DOES COME PACKED IN WITH THE WII WHEEL THAT YOU PUT YOUR WII-MOTE INTO. IT IS A LITTLE HARD TO GET USE TO, BUT I'VE GOTTEN THE HANG OF IT AND HAVE BEEN PLAYING WITH IT SO FAR. THERE ARE PLENTY OF UNLOCKABLES, BUT THE ONLINE MODES ARE WHAT WILL KEEP YOU COMING BACK FOR MORE.

One of the best Wii Games

I love mario kart Wii. And using the wheel I am so much better than I ever was on any of the previous versions. Although I'm told if you're used to racing games with a normal controller the wheel can be a hard adjustment, but for only an occasional game player like myself it is great to use. Its so nice to be able to met up with friends and play online or just play with random people worldwide.

This one of the best Wii games I have found. A great feature is the wheel, which lets you feel like you are actually steering the car. There are so many cars and bikes the choose from giving endless combos and gameplays. And the unlockable features are great and keep you playing forever. This is a game the whole family can play!!! I only hope they make a sequal for the Wii

Great Family Game

This version of Mario Kart is a great game as the previous versions for the other Nintendo systems have been. It is great for the family and it is a game that just about anyone can play.
That being said, it is very similar to the previous games with a few added features. The online capability makes it great because you can find someone to play with at almost any time. There are motorcycles added to this game, but it seems strange driving them with the wheel. You can play the game with the Nunchuck and Wii Remote if you prefer more of the old school driving mechanics.
Overall, I would say this game is a good purchase for any Wii owner - and a must have for Mario Kart fans like myself.

This is possibly one of the best mario kart games in history! It really is awesome, since there are TONS of tracks to play, including old ones, and new ones.
The Wii Wheel really brings a new aspect to the game, sure you can play it with a gamecube controller, but the wii wheel makes it much more fun, and enjoyable for everyone! I definitely recommend this game!

If you liked any of the previous Mario Karts, this one surpasses all of them. There are a ton of playable characters and tracks. The Wii wheel seems to be a hit or miss. I personally love it. It adds a great new element to Mario Kart. Some of my friends don't like it but the good thing is that you are able to use the remote by itself or the classic controller. Another great addition is the Online play which is fantastic.
The only negative seems to be the graphics are terrible. After playing Call of Duty 4 on XBox 360, going to play this game seems like you are playing on the SNES. However the gameplay makes you forget about it very quickly.

this is the best game ever. i loved it because it was really fun to play with my friends.i liked the way nintendo put all the classic stuff on this game. you should buy this game.you will have lots of fun with your family and friends.if you don't have the wii, get the comcast triple play and they will give you a free wii!I love this game and i'm sure that you will love it too!!! mario kart has-SynopsisBrace yourself for a new set of tricks, tracks and ways to race. The included Wii Wheel transforms your Wii Remote into a steering wheel that feels great in your hands, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller supply a classic control style for veterans of this racing series. Either way, you'll be able to perform impressive speed-boosting tricks, such as jumps, flips and wheelies. You can zip through brand-new tracks and arenas, and also tour classic courses from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash and Mario Kart DS. There are even options for trying all-new motorbikes that have their own special tricks and techniques. The action gets fast, furious and funny when you race in Mario Kart Wii.u should buy it!!!!!!!!!!
