 Good fun the family can enjoy May 17, 2008
At some points it gets a little difficult to control, especially with the bikes. But once you get that under control, the rest of the game is a blast. I mainly enjoyed playing it with friends, and using the wii-mote and nunchuck configuration. Using the wii-mote with the steering wheel attachment was a little annoying to me, but others may enjoy. Overall the game is great fun for the whole family. I would recommend it to anyone who has more than one "gamer" in the family!

Well the game is just annoying, sure the online play is cool but that is it, its just some original mario cart levels recycled, and they picked some bad ones and ruined some good ones, you spend more time falling off the edge or fighting the maps than actually racing people. And there are too many mass weapons that hit everyone it get fusterating, and the wheel is pointless, a regular controler or nunchuck is so much better. fun for about 5 minutes. Not worth 50 dollars, 20 at most.
One of the best games for Wii May 16, 2008
I was expecting a lot from this game the way Nintendo was hyping it up. And they delivered. The game is so much fun. The wheel takes a little getting used to but after you've got the hang of it, you cant put it down. You can play online against people all over the world, or just your friends if they have the game.
The only thing I can even think to complain about is when you play with three or four players it can get a little hard to see. And I have a 52" HDTV. But that is easily fixed either tell your friends to go home so you play full screen. Or just get a larger TV.
A great game for non-gamers and gamers too! May 16, 2008
I am not a gamer. My husband is. We got a Wii a while back because we thought it would be good way for us to enjoy games together and have some fun with friends. I really enjoyed Wii bowling and my husband liked most of the sports games. But I didn't see any games for the Wii that I thought would make me a dedicated player.
Then Mario Kart Wii came out. My little sister had an N64 back in the 90s and I had played Mario Kart with her--it was fun, but I always had a hard time with the joystick controls. Out of nostalgia for that old game, I ordered Mario Kart Wii and an extra wheel. I was instantly hooked. The Wii Wheel makes it alot easier to manuver the car (for me, someone who had never gotten the feel of a joystick) and the tracks, the different characters and the cars all make it lots of fun. Now i'm working my way through the different cups at the different speeds, and I'm starting to race online using Mario Kart WFC--which I must say, really puts your skills in perspective!
My husband really likes Mario Kart Wii too. He had never played the game before and normally doesn't like racing games, but he said the weapons, different characters and zany tracks make it interesting. And it's great that it's something we--with our wildly different gaming skill sets--can play together.
I would recommend this game for someone who enjoyed earlier versions of Mario Kart, or who likes to play multiplayer games (you can always play a multiplayer game with Mario Kart Wii because of the online games), or maybe even for someone who isn't that into video games but just wants something that is lots of fun. You'll be hooked--just like I am!
Great Family Game May 16, 2008
We rented Mario Kart Wii last weekend and LOVED it. My three sons and i played it every chance we got and had a blast. It is easy enough that everyone in the family can play and have fun, but also challenging enough to hold you attention and keep the adults playing long after the kids have gone to bed. My sons are 7, 7, and 5 and they were all able to play competitively after only a few races. Even my wife who doesn't usually like racing games had a great time playing it. This is definitely one that we need to buy!
