Mario Kart Wii on Wii

Am I missing something?

BrightonBear from Brighton [Highly rated reviewer] , 07/05/2008

I had read all the hype and had spoken to friends who could not wait for it to come. I was very pleased that received it soon after it was released.

I sat with my partner all ready to have the time of our lives. After the first game we looked at each other and decided it was going straight back.

Maybe its that I just don't get the Mario thing????

However being able to race with people from around the world is very good and easy to do. I wish you could do this when playing tennis.

For those who love Mario, you will find this game a dream.

The best racing game on wii

PrehistoricDevilCreature from Harrogate [Highly rated reviewer] , 19/04/2008

Mario kart wii is an incredible game. Anyone new to the series can easily pick it up fast and veterans will still be able to play just as well thanks to the different controll methods. You can use the wheel, the wiimote, the wiimote and nunchuck, the classic controller or the gamecube controller. By including so many ways of playing anyone can play! The single player mode is brilliant fun, the races are fast and action packed. However the battles let this game down by being no fun in single player. Furthermore doing time trials isnt that fun and to unlock some content you will need to do this. But none of this matters because the multiplayer is what this game is all about. You can play with a friend sitting next to you in up to 4 player races which are great fun, but where this game really takes off is it's online connection. It does not lag and you can quickly find people to play with around the world. Its quick, simple and most importantly fun. However the lack of voice chat on Wii means that you can only chat with friends in a room whilst waiting to race. And to increase annoyance you can only use predetermind phrases. But you will forgive all this when your playing as it's so addictively fun. This game is easily one of the best games on wii and i highly recommend renting it.

The best Mario Kart game ever, but the Wii wheel is just a gimmick

shitbreak from Manchester [Highly rated reviewer] , 27/04/2008

I waited for this game for ages ( even longer as HMV sent it to me a day late) and then when it arrived I fought off my kids to have first go, and the first thing I noticed is that the Wii wheel is very well made, but during my first go I was either under or over steering, and even after half an hour I wasn't much better, even though I am very good at the other Mario Kart games. So I changed to Wii remote and Nunchuck and straight away I felt more comfortable and was winning games, so I ventured online and raced 12 people from around Europe and did OK, afterwards I went onto the Mario Kart channel and the amount to do is amazing ( I love the way you can race other peoples ghosts to egg you on). This game is amazing, the new levels vary from inspired to, some that feel somewhat familiar, but with all the options and online play this IS a Must have game for the Wii, Well until Super smash bros comes out at least!!

Genius!

MissHYip from London [Highly rated reviewer] , 27/05/2008

I was absolutely addicted to Mario Kart on the N64 and could not be defeated, and because I loved it so much i was sure that Mario Kart Wii could not possibly be better. Oh how very wrong I was! They've pulled out all the stops for this game, I've never seen such inventive tracks (like racing up the branches of a huge tree) and not only that but they've included revamped tracks from the old games (Snes, N64 and NGB) in case you're feeling nostalgic. There are more battle levels, characters and cups than ever before, it's so hard to get bored of this and believe me, it'll be hard to turn it off even when you realise it's 4am and you have to work the next morning!
