Mario Kart Wii (Wii)

Super fun!I really enjoy playing the game. it's a must have for Nintendo Wii! Not really much more to say except, really fun!

Bought this game because it is so much fun. We use to have it with our nintendo system and enjoyed it. It is so much better with our WII. Probably one of the best games I have purchased so far..

Very Entertaining. Loved the steering wheels. Feels like you and your family are in a arcade. Love it.

If you are a Wii fan, then you must own this game for sure. We have played Wii since early 2007 and been kind of bored and upset for some games already. Now, Mario Kart Wii for the Nintendo Wii, brings in all that fast-paced excitement racers have wanted and even more. Both my 5-year old boy and wife really love it and rate it as one of the best Wii games.

Graphics: A+

Sound: A-

Control: B+ for the Wii Wheel, but A+ for my boy

Fun & Enjoyment: A for solo gamers; A+ for multiplayer action

Especially, Mario and his friends are back and ready to race once again in Mario Kart Wii! Experience new tracks, enhanced Wii graphics, extraordinary gameplay and the addition of motorcycles surprisingly working well. Also, place first in Grand Prix circuits or clear skill-based missions to open up increasingly difficult and thrilling circuits. Besides, the game as a whole is easy to get into, the online play is well done, the items are imaginative, and of course, the multiplayer is spectacular fun. Now you can feel like your Mario and steering to avoid obstacles and doing incredible stunts - in the safety of your home of course.

All in all, Mario Kart Wii is a must buy for the Wii collection.

works great with your remote.Enhances gaming experience.Just like driving a real car.Very precise with the amount of turn that you do with the wheel.To try and accomplish the same thing with nun-chuck and remote is a hassle.Very much worth while the money.

This game is a must have for any Wii owner!!! Great graphics and great racing all in one place! Love the way you can chose who to race with and the choice of being able to race worldwide or with your own friends!! A++ nintendo!!
Keep making Great Mario GAmes

I am not the biggest fan of racing games in general, but Mario Kart Wii is an exceptionally fun game.

If you play games at all, you should try it.

Bought it for my kids, but now I play it more than them. Love the graphics and sound and the intricate detail.
I do find the wheel not as user friendly as the nunchuck.

This is a great game and you can play against anyone, anywhere in the world. If you have friends that play this game, you can set it up to play against them from their homes. It is like playing on your computer games and a TV game all in one. It comes with it's own wheel for driving. We just bought our Wii and it looked like something fun to play and it was different from the other games. We love the Wii because your whole body moves, not just your thumbs as with other games. I look forward to getting the Wii Fit when it is released because I hate to exercise and this looks like lots of fun and still exercise.

I LIKED EVERTHING ABOUT THIS TRANSACTION.I LOVE HOW THE GAME CAME OUT ON A SUNDAY AND I GOT IT ON MONDAY!!!.I DIDN'T DISLIKE ANYTHING.I WASN'T SO SURE OF BUYING IT BECAUSE I HAD NEVER BOUGHT SOMETHING PRE-ORDERD BUT THIS EBAYER MADE IT ALL SIMPLE. THANKS!!!!

This is one of the best Wii games I have bought, I dont like the steering wheel so much, i prefer to play with the classic version type of remote it's easier to steer, i would highly recommend this game to all, it's fun for the entire family

Bought the Wii just for this game, and was not let down a bit, awesome new charters, new tracks and also new TRICKS.... and the special powers you get when you run into one of the boxes... KICK SERIOUS BUTT... this is the Game of the year..dont get better then this. pick yourself up an additional Wii wheel, you won't be disappointed.

This game is great. It is a game that the whole family can play. Controls are simple enough a six year old can play. At the same time there are challenges for adults. Fun for all

There is NOTHING that I dislike about this game! It is the most fun I have had playing my Wii yet! This game is LOADED with goodies and the gameplay alone is well worth it. Anyone who has played this game with me instantly LOVES it. I spend alot of time racing online with people around the world, such a blast! Do not hesitate to buy this Nintendo Gem.

Long have we been waiting for it, finally it's here: the latest installment of Mario Kart has just arrived for the Wii. And to just make it clear in the beginning: those who've liked the previous versions of Nintendo's top fun racer will also like the Wii version.

As it's been the case since the SNES version, characters from all around the Mario universe come together and make out the top driver among them. After creating your driver profile, choose your game mode, your favorite driver and vehicle and finally the race type. Now the fun starts - you'll steer your driver through different courses, collect items such as mushrooms, shells and bananas granting you the ability of quick turbos or to hit your enemies, beat your own track times or fight a big battle royale for balloons or coins alone or with friends.

The first thing you'll probably tackle in one-player mode are the Grand Prix races. One of these consists of four tracks with three laps each. Difficulty increases with increasing motor power, from 50 ccm to 150 ccm. While the 50 ccm cups are rather easily won, the 150 ccm one will also require a lot of luck (or hours of training). By winning the available race cups you'll unlock new ones, just as one would expect. By fulfilling certain requirements - mostly being fast enough and winning cups - you'll not only unlock new courses but also new drivers and vehicles. Overall there are sixteen new tracks and an additional 16 remade older tracks from previous Mario Kart games. Pure nostalgia! Add to this some new and old multiplayer stages, twelve initially available and twelve unlockable characters with three car options each, you get yourself a big heap of options and fun.

The controls and basic gameplay pretty much work like they always did with two buttons for acceleration and braking/going backwards/initiating drifting and the the direction pad for item usage. For the actual steering you can either use an analog stick or the motion sensing of the Wiimote. Nintendo did an excellent job implementing all possible control pad devices, from the classic controller to the Gamecube one and the Wii remote in two configurations. The most fun, of course, is the steering wheel that's sold with the game. You plug in your Wiimote and get started. Even though it did take me a bit of time to get used to (it's been my first experience with that peripheral add-on), this is probably as close as you can get to simulating a fun racer with no claim of real-life physics. If you want to go for the best times, however, either the Gamecube pad or the classic controller offer the slightly better reaction time of the analog stick compared to the motion sensing of the Wiimote.

Now what's new in Mario Kart Wii compared to the previous versions? Drifting is still in the game and an important technique, but it takes longer until you get a small speed boost, so the infamous 'snaking' technique is less easily doable. To make up for that, you can perform stunts (just flick your Wiimote) whenever you leave the ground, e.g. make jumps over track obstacles, which nets you a small boost. The same goes for driving in an opponent's slip stream. And there's a new class of vehicles besides karts: namely bikes. They allow you to perform wheelies to gain a speed boost. But take care, while you drive on your back wheel only, steering is almost impossible and you're more vulnerable to hits from enemies. Unfortunately, in my opinion, jumping was not brought back.
