The Best Racing Game Ever!!!
PostedJune 8, 2010
If you love racing video games, look no further. This is the best racing game ever! The reason that this is a great game is because the Mario Kart series have been at it for a while starting with SNES then going to the GBA then the N64 then the Gamecube then the DS and now they unleashed the best of their ideas on the Wii!! The graphics and racing is outstanding! Not only do you play at brand new tracks, but you can also use old tracks as well. They handicapped this game to make anybody be able to play it (I wonder why my siblings aren't so good at the game). Nintendo really knows how to make a franchise and their best games include Mario. When you get better and better in the Grand Prix, you unlock more characters. Sooner or later you will unlock your Mii. The best part about this game is the online gameplay. The Wi-fi connection with this game is what makes this game a top seller.
Mario kart is like a racing game for kids or adults. There are a good many different tracks and even more race cars. from small carts to speedy motorcycles, this is just a great game. There is no language or blood or gore like just about every other new game that has come out in the past few years so it is perfectly fine for kids to play. This game is also very fun for the adults, it is a bit strange that parents can get into video games. Another great thing about this game is the fact that you can plug in the wii remote into a steering wheel and drive it just like a car. no gas or brake petals though. You can also race online in this game, so you can race against real people once you think that you are good enough. so if your looking for a game thats fun for the whole family, mario kart is the way to go.

My favorite kart racer

I just got mario kart wii yesterday, and after getting used to the wheel i love it! To start out you got a good variety of characters to choose from, and you can unlock quite a few as well. The amount of vehicles to choose from is excellent. I believe its 3 or 4 karts and 2 to 3 bikes. So you can choose one that fits your style since they are all balanced differently. The graphics are great for Wii. The tracks are unique, each one with different obstacles or challenges to keep you from just speeding by everyone. The weapons are unique as well, allowing you to either get ahead easily or causing you to lose the race. My complaints about this game are the respawn times, you can be in first place, die, and respawn and potentially be in 12th place depending on how close it is. Another thing is if your getting this to race a friend, wait to buy an extra wii wheel, because its not the easiest to use and you may not like it. I recommend trying it out first and buying another one if you like it. I would recommend this to anyone a fan of kart racing games or mario or just having fun.

Mario Kart wii is one of the most addicting race games i have ever played. I was a Wii skeptic for a long time and i finally broke down and purchased one since they released the new bundle that comes with the motion plus device, and sports resort. Let me tell you, this is a must have if you own the wii. The races are challenging and fun, they range from super fast paced 150cc races, to 50cc more casual ones. The online play is addicting you can race with friends and people from around the world. The variety of controllers you can play this game with blew my mind. You can use the wii wheel, the game cube controller, the nunchuck and wii mote, or you can use the classic controller, or my personal favorite - the classic controller pro. With all the different controls and game types the replay value of this game is tops. If you have played mario kart on the nintendo DS, this is like a beefed up super version of it. I would reccomend this game to anyone. Its amazing and fun. If you are new to wii or nintendo at that. This is a perfect place to start you cant go wrong!
