 Addictive. August 12, 2008
A great game for Wii. I couldn't stop playing it. To be honest, I prefered using the numchuck than the Wii wheel. All the same it is still a great game br / br /One problem: You're first, racing towards the finish line. You're almost there when: bang-bang-bang. You get hit repeatedly by rocks and end up finishing 3rd. When you are 1st towards the end you always seem to get targeted by other racers so watch out. br / br /Appart from that this is a great Wii game for the family.
Great fun, for a very long time August 9, 2008

love this game, bought it to play with my BF, and he loves it so much. has different level of difficulties. more than a month passed, we are still playing. i've never played other Mario cart game before, so some viewers said that this one is not as good as the old ones, i can't comment on that. i prefer to use the nun-chuck rather than the wheel, but my bf loves the wheel, and he is good at it. i can't go straight if i use the wheel, but with the nunchuck, it's easier for me. keep unlocking new cars and bikes. one more, it's great fun to play with people around the world online. some of them are soooo good, maybe they know all the shortcut. get one, you will enjoy it.

The title sums it up, I guess. I can see little difference between this game and the DS version released over a year ago, except that the DS game is a more fun. br / br /The introduction of waggle is welcome, but not perfect, and many time's I've found myself twisting my arms around each other just to get around a corner. It's about gentle movements, though this message is lost at the hight of excitement. Fortunately Nintendo had the good grace to add as many controller options as possible, so you can't have a reason to hate the game based on the that. br / br /Ultimately it takes a step back from Double Dash, the last console version, which had an option to partner up with someone else. In exchange we get bikes, which doesn't shake things up all that much. br / br /The worst part in the Single Player mode, is sometimes the best part of the Multi Player: Whilst the rubber-banding (competitors left way behind somehow catching up in seconds) of previous games is at a noticeable minimum, this has been replaced with a sometimes over-abundant use of items. You could be in first position for an entire 3 track race, only to lose position feet away from the finish line because everyone has somehow managed to get red and blue shells. It happens all too frequently in single player mode. However in multilayer mode it leads to some nail-biting, photo-finishing moments. br / br /It's hard to judge MK Wii. Nintendo have given with one hand (Waggle, more vehicles, online play), taken away with the other (Partners), and left everything else almost as it was. When one of the best things you can say about a game is that the online matching system (against strangers, not friends) works well, it has a problem. I'd argue there's less added to this game than the last iteration of Nintendo's franchises (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc). br / br /Were any other company to do this, I'm sure the reviews of others would be much harsher. It's the kind of game where you'd ignore the single player and just play online.
 This is a must buy!!!!!! July 25, 2008

Saw this is my local Tesco store, and thought why not, will give it a go, could always flog it on ebay if I don't like it. Well, if you own a Wii, then this game should be a statutory requirement. I have to say I am absolutely rubbish at it but it does not stop me from having a great time. Recently discovered the online races and battles, and find I regularly get slaughtered probably by some young kid and trail in last , but who cares!! My 5 year old regularly joins in for a race. I won't bother going into what the game does as I am sure everyone who has a Ninty will know what it is. If you are thinking about buying a Nintendo get one just for this game, its great. What I do find funny there are alot of 'Mummy and Daddy's' Mii characters online for this game, just like myself and my wife which does go to show the Nintendo really is a great family console. Enjoy!!!!!!
