4 out of 5 stars Best Mario kart game since Mario Kart 64!   August 23, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

It took me AGES to find this game, because it was sold out in almost every gamestore I went to! Luckily one day, someone JUST brought in a box full of them, so I quickly bought it and played it at home.

This game is a HUGE improvement over Double Dash!! in my opinion. There's a HUGE roster of characters (the main screen uses some of their previous model poses from Double Dash!! though), there are more tracks to choose from and there's some great online wifi multiplayer too! The Wii wheel, the peripheral that comes with this game works like a charm, but you can play with the GCN controller if you want, and others.

The only downsides to this game are that it isn't exactly easy, the graphics are alright but definitely not as amazing as Galaxy's, and the Time Trial missions are VERY hard.Oh, and not to forget they have toned down Balloon Battle drastically.

But don't let that put you off! By all means this is the best racer you can get on the Wii, so I definitely recommend it. ^^



2 out of 5 stars I don't like it..   August 18, 2008
 2 out of 8 found this review helpful

After all the press attention this game is getting, I did finally decide to buy it.

Unfortunately I was completely underwhelmed. I have never played any of the previous mario kart games so I can't judge if its a vast improvement, but I have to say the graphics are very poor, as is the general presentation.

Undeniably it is quite good fun when your playing 4-player sessions, but I have no idea how to play online!! If any one can help me in doing so I would be grateful, as i'm sure that would be quite fun.

Overall, I find the game to be overrated and no good for just the 1 player. Don't know what all the hype was for, to be honest.



5 out of 5 stars Best car game for the Wii   August 14, 2008
This has to be (as my review title says) the best car game for the Wii. It is brilliant fun and I haven't been able to pull myself away from it since I received it yesterday. It was certainly worth waiting for it to come back into stock!
The grpahics are very good and there are lots of characters, cars, motorbikes and tracks to choose from. You can also play against a maximum of 3 other players in the multiplayer mode or connect to the internet and play with others from across the globe.
I would highly recommend this game as one to add to your Wii collection - it is worth the money!



5 out of 5 stars A must buy for the wii   August 13, 2008
5 Star. This game is simply brilliant.

ONline, it works with no lag. you can play your friends or 12 strangers. You play for points in each race, so it keeps you wanting to race again and again to better your online score.

Also, another great point about online play is that two of you can play at once from the same machine. In most games, only you can play online from your own console.

Single player, it's geat. Loads of courses to do etc. Loads of characters to unlock. you can also compare time trial results with your friends and anyone from around the globe. It's amazing. you can also race against ghosts from strangers. you can send your ghosts of your best times to your friends and when they beat you, then send them back for you to beat.

The wheel....actually works! I assumed I would need to use the gamecube controller to control it properly and accurately enough to get the best results, but not true. The wheel works and makes it even more enjoyable.

I always found the original snes mariokart to be the best version. Finally, I believe this is the best. I think it has changed so much since the classic snes version, that it is now a whole different game.

everyone should get this game I think. I don't know what it is about mario kart but it truely is so so addictive.

I can't think of any bad points about this gaame. I suppose they could have included every single track ever made. I'm sure they have enough space to do that. Maybe they could bring out a package that people could download. I'd love to play ALL the tracks




4 out of 5 stars A Review for Mario Kart Nintendo Wii   August 12, 2008
Mario Kart is a fun game about racing other Characters around serval different tracks which you can pick which one you want to explore. Suitable for all the family from young to old. You can play solo against everyone, you can play as a team, you can play with family or your friends that are at your house (if you have two remotes)Or you can do the mario channel which is when you play against other people in the world. If you manage to grab yourself and boxs with a ? then you get a special item whith could make you win or could make you lose.
