 A Mario Kart noob chimes-in... May 12, 2008
The last mario game I played was Super Mario Brother for the NES in the late eighties.... really.
I was exclusely an xBox and PC gamer until getting a Wii earlier this year.
Mario Kart Wii has accomplished nothing else for the Wii other than Wii Sports has: it has captured the attention of my wife.
I won't repeat what has been said already except that this is a great game and a lot of fun. Easy to learn, hard to master.
Also, you can unlock the ability to drive as your own Mii! Lots of fun seeing your own character interact with Mario and company.
 Game = great, Wii Wheel = disappointing May 12, 2008
My wife and I love the new Mario Kart. Well worth the money for the enjoyment. We love the new tracks and the new bike is fun to use. We were both very disappointed by the new Wii Wheel. It is so sensitive to movements and since there's no resistance on the wheel it's too easy to turn. We didn't buy the game for the Wii Wheel, so I'm not bummed out too much.
adicting May 12, 2008
This has to be the best game that I bought for my WII system yet. I'm a huge Mario Kart fan from when it originally came out with SNES. The only issue I have is that its addicting and leads to many late nights racing people from around the world. The wheel is a little tricky to get used to if your used to the old controls on past systems, but the controller and nun chuck combination works very well. I would recommend it to any Mario Kart fan.
Killer App for the Wii May 11, 2008
Are you a burnt-out husk of a human being who can no longer experience joy? If so, avoid this game. Everyone else should enjoy it immensely.
I'm coming to this game as a very long time fan of Mario Kart 64. I also enjoy the DS version. So what's great/special about this version?
1. The Wheel - or just motion control in general - makes this game a whole new "thing". Reading various comments, I was worried that it would be like trying to steer a sled through mud. However, I can honestly say that the wheel is very responsive and feels much more natural than a joystick. The pudding-proof comes when playing old N64 courses...nothing is lost and much is gained.
2. Characters and Karts galore, with many unlockables. It will take weeks just to see what each character/kart combination can do. You might find some surprises...Baby Peach anyone?
3. Motorbikes - they aren't just 2 wheeled karts - the feel is entirely different and the challenge shifts dramatically. It's almost like having another game within the game you thought you were buying.
4. Stunts - the secret to stunts is to shake the controller when you hit the jump, not as you fly. Your reward will be a boost of speed that you must be prepared to handle. Again, this seems like a minor throwaway inclusion but turns out to nitro-inject fun.
5. Tracks - all the new tracks are great and justify their inclusion (i.e. they aren't just yet another variation on a circuit). The retro tracks are well chosen and of course well done. But as you explore the new tracks you find more and more little touches - hidden routes, corners cut to accomodate bikes, jumps off the main track for a stunt boost. A lot of TLC went into honing these tracks.
6. Pro ghosts - the WFC lets you find ghosts that are slightly better than you or watch ghosts of the best players in the world. It's always fun to watch somebody who is tops at a skill, even if they are eschewing the wheel for glory.
The 150cc race is a bit much, as amply reported. However, the 50cc is almost the exact opposite, and you can unlock all the tracks just by putting in the time on 50cc. I never even knew N64 had Battle mode, so I am not suffering the day-ruining disappointment reported by others. The WFC is not something I'm too interested in for much beyond ghosts and confirming my own mediocrity.
The best recommendation I can give this game is that it is the first game I would almost force anyone to sit down and play. This truly is the realization of the "for everyone" promise of the Wii.
What a Ride! May 11, 2008
This game is all I hoped it would be. I wanted some new challenges but also some of the old features as well. This game does it. There are old courses from the DS, SNES, and Game Cube, and some new ones as well. Old features that were missing from Double Dash were added (like trailing an item) and new ones were added (like the ability to do flips after a jump). An overall great game.
