 Fantastic way to spend with Grandchildren July 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
What a Fantastic way to spend with your Grandchildren. Truly enjoyed Mario Kart. Made a purchase of 3 additional steering wheels so my 2 grandchildren and my daughter could join in the fun. WE HAD A BALL. There is NO GENERATION GAP and if there was MARIO CLOSED IT. Making this purchase was the best idea I've had in a while. I definitely recommend this product. GET WITH IT GRAND-PARENTS - make that move right now.
Fun for All Ages July 6, 2008

I have had Mario Kart Wii for a few weeks now and it has gotten a lot of use. We have several other games but this is the one that my 6 y/o son plays the most by far.
I have been a fan of Nintendo since I was a little kid but I never tried Mario Kart until the Nintendo64 and it was a blast. Mario Kart for the Wii has several new features from Mario Kart 64, most notably being the unlockable characters.
I'm not sure if it is just myself, but I do have a lot harder time sliding on the Wii version of the game than on the 64 version. I don't know if I have just gotten rusty, but I remember when I used to play the 64 that it was a lot easier to slide around corners. Now I usually just do automatic on the Wii.
Overall this game is a lot of fun, especially the multiplayer mode.
 MarioKart a Little Disappointing July 3, 2008
We received Mario Kart for Wii about 5 weeks ago. The game is in perfect condition and arrived very fast. I am a big Mario Kart fan and was really excited about getting this game. However, the Wii version is a little lacking. I was disipointed when you couldn't use multi-players to play the grand-prix. That is what we loved to do on the other Mario Karts. Besides that, the game is very fun and has some new tracks and charaters to keep you interested. If you like playing the grand-prix by yourself this would be an awesome game for you. There are the other multi-player modes so don't be discouraged if you have a group. Still a lot of fun.
Awesome!! July 3, 2008
I was wondering what all the hype was about, and when I got the game, I got the answer. It is really fun with all the different tracks and being able to play with multiple players is really great. The wheel adds to the fun! Definatley buy more than one wheel!
Mario Kart at it's best... July 2, 2008
Let's be honest here.. Double Dash was fun, but it was horribly balanced with special moves and snaking made it impossible to beat anyone who was good at it. Mario Kart has never been about driving "Skill" it's been about driving "strategy."
I'm the guy who rides in 7th place purposely waiting for the lightning bolt ;-)
Anyways the game has a single player mode that can be quite difficult in the 100 and 150 class races and there are a lot of cool player unlocks such as the ability to play as your Mii. The wheel takes a while to get used to, and i inevitably gave up on it and either use the gamecube controller or the nunchuck but it's still a lot of fun and something different. If the single player mode isn't enough to quench your thirst, there's a very well conceived online mode that let's you put your ranking up to the test in both race and battle modes. My only complaint is the really shotty online friends menus, which make it nearly impossible to set up a game with friends and really enjoy it.
Overall I think this game is a lot more fun and balanced than the previous installations, and a lot of the retro maps are included (including SNES!) That being said, if you own a Wii and do not own this game then you might as well be using to help hold up your couch.
