 You can never go wrong with Mario May 18, 2008

Ever since I purchased my Wii over a year ago, my first wish was that Nintendo would rush to release an old favorite. Then the news from E3 2007 broke, Mario Kart Wii was already in the works and was slated for an early 2008 release. I watched Amazon religiously, waiting for a release date. 2 weeks ago, I came home from work and saw that beloved Amazon package on my doorstep. With as much anticipation as Christmas morning, I ripped open the box, plugged my Wii remote into the wheel, and absorbed the excitement of my new game.
Mario Kart Wii does not disappoint. Though the Mushroom and Flower cups are relatively easy, I still enjoyed the driving motion of the Wii Wheel--it's a motion I know I tried to imitate with previous Nintendo remotes, but at least now it makes sense. But if you're thinking this is your same Mario Kart from the days of yore, you are mistaken; the levels have increasing difficulty which both challenge and entertain you. I'm especially impressed with the extra moves you can perform and the different obstacles on many of the courses. I found the motorbikes more of a challenge than the karts, and it's probably just going to take some time to get used to the feel on the courses. What's more is all the new weapons that can help you move from 12th place to the center of the pack and really spice things up for those of you that usually ride in 1st the whole game.
Mario Kart continues to be a staple for Nintendo games systems. And why not? They continue to add more and more fun to this classic game.
 FUN May 18, 2008

MarioKart Wii is really fun. Especially when you have a friend over and go against 14 other people online split screen.
Negatives:
No voice chat. I'm used to XBox360 voice chat during online games. That is missed while on MarioKart Wii. But, can't complain though cause gaming online is free, while XBox Live is a paid service.
This game is way fun! May 17, 2008

It is more challenging than the previous versions which I like. The steeringwheel is harder than just using the wiimote and nunchuck but it can still be fun. You are punished more than the previous games for going in the grass or dirt. The tricks are way fun and satisfying.
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.
