Another HomeRun by Nintendo! Graphics are Superb. Racing is done with pure finesse either via wii mote & nunchuk ( my fav), steering wheel (great peripheral) or game cube controller (nice touch) ANOTHER MUST BUY. WELCOME ADDITION TO LIBRARY

mario kart wii feels very much like a singles mode of double dash, which isn't a bad thing. but it doesn`t seem like it`s moved on much. all previous versions were a step forward for the game on the initial release on their rsspective consoles. but the new mario kart tracks seem to be much the same as before. with that said it`s a good game, very enjoyable, and the online games are very addictive, which will certainly the longevity of the game. 4 stars

Not to bad of a game.Great tracks,pretty good graphics,nice choice of characters even though they could have done without a couple of them.For example Baby Daisy? Geesh. Should have been Baby Wario. What ever happend to Wart from Super Mario Bros. 2?

The classic series makes a classic return! The new tracks are great and even bikes are a welcome addition. The online mode is the best on any Wii game as you can play people from all around the world with no lag, even when it's 12/12 racers! Just one bit of advice, give the Wii Wheel a try because it is an interesting concept but if I were you I'd revert straight back to Wii Remote and nunchuk because it is greatly superior.

it's mario kart,it rocks its the best online game from nintendo without question,12 ppl playing online no slow down,the sending/receiving of TT challenges by friends,the fact you can check your ranking around the world,this game has too many good points to list,a few not so good points:you only have room for 30 friends codes,the battle mode is team based,you cant customise the item boxes in the races,eg turn off blue shells,the 150cc mode is hard.rubber band racing the more you pull away the harder they hit.other than that i think it's a must buy...

This is the Best Racer on the Wii. The Graphics are Fantastic, as well as the Controls. Depsite Popular Belief, the Free Wii Wheel is Great, and is easy to pick up and play with. The Tracks are all superb, as well as the Character Roster. I do feel that the Babies were a bit much, but I have no room to complain, as I love to play as Baby Mario. Anyway, Mario Kart Wii is awesome, challenging, well put together, and an overall blast to play.

I will give this game 5 stars because its the closes nintendo will come to Mario kart 64. If you like mario kart 64 you gonna love this, the best part is you can play on internet, but also play some old retro stages.

What video games are all about to me - what the xbox 360 still cannot reproduce - an amazing fun title that is so simple to pick up and so hard to stop playing! The wheel that comes with it makes it so much more fun i wouldn't have thought it possible - if my friends and I had been young when this came out we'd have never gone out!

This game is incredible! Seriously, it's up their as a must-have for the Wii! The online is particularly special but I know that both single and multiplayer will occupy me for months! The online will be great for years though! The Wii Wheel is exceptional fun too! Anyone can pick it up and play relatively well (with the help of a few items, obviously!)and that's what the Wii is about. That doesn't mean it's basic though, as there is constant room for improvement! In actual fact, this may well be the best, most enjoyable Mario Kart I've played (I've never played MKDS though?) but aren't they all fantastic!

This game is fun & addicting until you get all the characters then the only thing you "Should" do is play wifi & half the people in my region suck, and they are the only ones playing.

ok look i liked this game, but it feels like it got slowed down or something, i mean come on why cant i pick between 50cc and 150cc when im playing online, this games has alot of people to pick from and likewise on the motor selection, but look, it is really hard to play this game with 4 players in the same room, and dont get me started on the hunk of junk plastic that dosent do nothing but make the game harder, and they changed the drifting to where its sharper or something and it makes you crazy mad when you hit crap, but i digress. overall this is a Buy

Yes it is an upgrade from the previous mario karts with the new karts an bikes and new courses block items characters etc..but it just doesnt function like the "oh so great" MK64. Even the wii wheel doesn't quite cut it. It feels unreal and life less. The wheel should have a base to support it. Within the game itself theres many things that takes away from the Mario Kart I known to love. While others are improvements. I like bullet bill and the big mushroom. But the star seems to be not as fast anymore. The lighting cloud and the squid are really annoying to the point that there are no point to them. The spiny blue shell comes up more than ever now and it punishes youfor being in 1st every single time. The grass and off road terrain and the wall seems to completely stop you as soon as you touch it even at top speeds. These are not the way MK is suppose to function. You can add new reasonable things to it but the basics should not change and not we must adapt and deal with annoying parts to this MK wii. The game is still fun and thats why I rated it a 4 instead of 5 stars. I will always love Mario Kart my favorite game. But lets stick to its foundations.

This is the best Mario Kart in the series! The tracks, graphics, characters, and vehicles are just awesome!! I finally have this and I have wanted it for a long time! I recommend this game to anyone who wants a challenge, likes kart racing, and who just want to have fun! I think I am going to enjoy this game for many years to come!

This game is a good game, but they could have done so much better.You don't want to play this game by yourself, it gets boring. They also should have made special attacks for each character. They did this in Mario Kart double dash, why can't they do it again? They also should have made more characters and more Karts. Those are just little things I guess, it is still a good game.

So much fun! Use a Gamecube controller to unlock everything first before you get yourself accustomed to the Wheel...

MMMmmmm i have mixed feelings about this game id give it a low 4 star its not bad in fact its fairly good, its just frustrating how in a sense there is no real skill involved with the person in last position taking out everyone with a powerful weapon and winning the match. The n64 levels are awesome but some are lacking in design. All i wanted was a online remake of the n64 version now that would be awesome. Hats off anyway to nintendo for having a decent online racer although the friends aplication is a bit frustrating considering how easy it is on xbox live.
