A fun game for all ages
PostedAugust 14, 2009
When I brought this game home it was instantly a hit throughout my family. My brother and sisters like playing it as well as Mom and Dad. It is fun for the whole family as well as for one person. This game is unique in many ways. Items help you go from last to first in seconds, and the separate difficulty levels make the game fun no matter how good you are! I enjoy the wide variety of tracks, characters and vehicles. Although I am a bit sad at what they took away from earlier games, I like the new ideas that have been added on in this one. I am close to beating the game completely, but I continue to be challenged by the opponents and tracks that I have to race. I am not new to Mario Kart, but I still think Mario Kart Wii is the best Mario Kart yet.

Good old Mariokart
PostedAugust 7, 2009
This game is a really great game to have. It never gets boring and theres is always something new to try or somones record to beat. The game is really fun for any kind of gamer at any age. Ive found adults sometimes like to play it and little kids love this game. The online play is great, you can choose to play with people from around the world or people closer to you or even just people you've registered as wii friends. You can battle or race people from around the world, and there are tournaments to compete in which i haven't participated in but Ihear its fun and i've watched people play it and it looks fun. There are time trials where you can try to beat people's records or beat your own record. The controls are great because you can choose from a couple different ways to control your racer like the wii wheel, the gamecube controller, or the classic controller depending on your reference. Overall a great game and i definitely recommend it to any fan of mariokart or racing games.
Introduction: I like all the Mario Kart games especially the one for N64. Pros: This game was really good in my opinion. I really liked how we actually can use a steering wheel, which made the game feel real. I like the stages because they were very fun and creative. Their were so many items in the game that their was so much opportunity to win the race. The short cuts were easier to access and I think the game was very fun. Cons: A few of the stages were a little bit hard and sometimes the steering was a little off. Other than that the game was really good. Also, I wish that we could have customized the vehicles to suit our driving style. Overall: This game has plenty of reply value and it is very fun to play online. I would recommend people play it.

The Best of Mariokart
PostedAugust 1, 2009
Well, let's see. I really love this game and I've had it for 6 months- 1 year. It's great for hardcore gamers and occasional players alike. You'll find it easier and more fun if you've played it before. I applaud Nintendo for allowing many methods of controllers, if the Wii Wheel has too slippery control for you. I like that they've put more female characters in the game, so that it'll attract more girls to try it out. Now, if you've never played Mariokart before, you'll have to learn basic controls and secrets. I also applaud Nintendo for putting bikes in the game, and giving the options of wheelies, super boost after a drift on karts and pulling tricks on ramps. This is a pleasant surprise and I hope they put this in future games. Now, for the downsides. Once you unlock the courses, they might become a bit boring after a lot of playing. And the unlockables can be a bit hard to obtain for average people playing for fun. I've obtained most unlockables, some with ease and some were a challenge, but I've had past experience. The game will also glitch on occasion, although that's not a rare thing, a lot of games do that. Those are really the only downsides I can think of.
