Mario Kart Wii is less cartooney than its previous incarnations, especially in the menu design. Also, the control of the carts and motorcycles take some getting used to if you're used to the previous titles.
However, what is awesome here is fantastic track design, and lots of tracks to play on. With retro tracks offering favorites from games past, you are getting double the amount of tracks usually on the game.
Also, the online alone is worth the price of the game.
The WiiWheel stinks. I don't use it. However, Nintendo made a fantastic decision in allowing multiple control schemes, so it won't slow you down too much.
In the end, a very enjoyable title. Definitely a must buy if you own a Wii and have enjoyed Mario Kart titles in the past.
What's great about it: Online is awesome, very creative track design, lots of tracks
What's not so great: WiiWheel stinks. Controlling is odd, different from previous titles. Miss having 2 drivers/objects. Menu scheme odd.

Mario Kart wii is a great game. If you're a fan of all the old Nintendo series (Super Mario, Mario Party...) you will definitely want to buy this game. Its a great game to sit around with some friends and play. The inclusion of the wii wheel is a great deal, and yes, it does make a difference whether you use it or not. A lot of the old maps are included, as well as my favorite battle map, sky scrapper. Although there isn't much of a difference between this and double dash, besides the multiplayer and motion controls, it's still a must buy.
What's great about it: Wii wheel, many maps including retro maps, wifi and local multiplayer
What's not so great: Nothing much to make it stand out from the other mario karts

This is a great all around game, especially if you want to entertain people who might not play this game or video games in general. Even though the game is lacking on the graphics end, and isn't the most in depth game ever, its game play is so superb that it easily makes up for it. The phrase, "keep it simple stupid" really is represented here!
What's great about it: Easy, fun gameplay
What's not so great: Graphics aren't that great and game lacks large amounts of depth
