 Mario Kart Wii Game July 1, 2008
Great game for all ages. In fact, bought it for Father's Day! One of the best games out there especially for the price! My husband and 7 year old loves playing it together and with their friends online.
 Keeps son happy July 1, 2008
I ordered this for my autistic son and he has had a blast with it. He loves to race using the wi-fi option and has to be pried away from it.
 Mariokart for Wii-maybe not the funfest you expected June 30, 2008

OK, there are lots of different types of competitions - time trials, Grand Prix, multi player games, and the WII trademark ability to play a multi player game with your grandson who lives 1100 miles away. That's enormously cool! The game also uses your MII characters as race fans and, in the mall race track, as obstacles who are parking their cars in your way on the final stretch.
But the old stand by Mario Kart just seemed to be more fun. This one has all the old racetracks to choose from, but lots of them feel old - not reworked, just more finely pixeled. Just my opinion - I still enjoy the game.
Nintendo delivers again June 30, 2008
Here are just a few reasons you should get the latest Mario Kart:
-Online: I personally am not an online gamer, but lots of people are. If you're one of them, rejoice, because a console Mario Kart finally has online play. I tried it and wow...it's fun and easy (if your Wii is connected to wireless internet).
-Courses: Sixteen chaotic and creative new courses. A gold mine, a factory, a snowy mountain, and an active volcano to mention a few. Sixteen more courses were brought back from every previous Mario Kart game (including SNES!). I was disappointed that Wario Colosseum from Double Dash (my all-time favorite) wasn't included, but this is a great selection. And they may not be exactly the same as you remember...watch out when you're in Bowser's Castle from N64!
-Steering: Don't cop out and use the classic controller or a Gamecube controller to steer. Stick with the wheel from the beginning and learn to use it, just like you once had to learn how to use a joystick. It doesn't take long for it to become intuitive, and you'll wonder why you ever played a racing game with a control stick. You can choose to make the drift (like when you held L or R to make a sharp turn) automatic when you first begin, then when you're good with the wheel go back to manual drift. Oh...and you don't have to attach the wheel to steer with the wii-remote.
-Characters & Vehicles: Lots of Mario characters to choose from, or your Mii, and lots of vehicles too, including motorcycles, making steering with the wheel even more fun. Each race now has 12 racers at once.
-Battle: The multiplayer battles allow computer opponents if you ever find yourself stranded, and they are now team-based with 8 vs. 8 racers. Instead of a survival-match where the last one with balloon(s) wins, they are time-matches where the team with the most points at the end wins.
Bottom line, this is another Mario Kart game with all the patented quality that name carries.
Yet another reason to buy a Wii! June 30, 2008
I was never much of a gamer growing up, and you could hardly say I'm a gamer now...but I love Mario Kart!! It's a game that is accessible to all ages and it is one of the best multiplayer games on the market. The original Mario Kart for N64 was what started it all, and Nintendo has wisely gone back to the roots with this latest MK. The levels are amazing, there are more vehicle selections (including motorbikes!), and you race against many more characters. You can also unlock many additional levels! Such a great game!! One note though, using the Wii wheel make take a little getting used to.
