This game is phenomenal. The graphics are okay and the compiled tracks are upgraded graphics-wise. The carts and bikes and scooters are all really amazing, and the unlockable carts and characters make the game all the better. I can't stop playing this game. The wii wheel makes it all the better and more intewresting and the chaepness of a second wheel makes it easy to buy another and play with a friend. The wii wheel is also durable and easily replaceable. They are also easier to handle than a driving pedals and a steering wheel you attatch to a table. Hopefully a second mario kart comes out!!!!!!!
What's great about it: Wii Wheel, good amount of tracks, 6 different vehicles to start for every character
What's not so great: Okay Graphics, not very challenging

The games of Mario Kart have gone farther than thought possible. Mariokart Wii shows YET AGAIN that you don't need 20 buttons to have fun. The new racer comes packed with the Wii Wheel, a shell for the Wiimote. The wheel works as you would expect, but if you're a gamer you might want to stick to a Gamecube controller. The game includes 12 characters per race now, and includes bikes. The technique of snaking, which is adding so much speed that you automatically win, has been made obsolete, so nobody has to worry over those things in Online play. The new races take the old races, pound them into burger meat, and leave them to die with enough action to make you forget there were past games at all. Unfortunately, that leaves you with 16 races you want to ignore. The graphics are unchanged from the Gamecube game, except the characters all seem to shine like someone dumped a ton of grease on them. But truly, the graphics don't matter as long as you have fun, and besides some easily-overlooked shortcomings, Mariokart Wii will have you playing that Australian kid on Wifi till 2 in the morning. Believe me, I've seen it happen.

This game is a blast!!! It's fun for the entire family and for all ages. If you don't already have this game, you need to buy it.
This game is best played when you get on the WFC where you can race your other Mario Kart-owning friends. But it's just as fun to play others from all over the country or the world. But if you just want to play the game disc without the WFC, it's still loads of fun.
The only other con for me is that it can be costly when you have to by addtional steering wheels. But there are cheaper versions of steering wheels out there. Or find other games that also come w/ a free steering wheel. That way, you get another driving game.
What's great about it: Can play w/ a bunch of friends.

This game has to be my favorite out of the mario kart series!The wii wheel adds a ton!The bad news is they ruined battle by making it point based.I love how you can do tricks with your karts it's awesome!
What's great about it: Not as many first place bombs as the gamecube.The added stuff was not a mistake!
What's not so great: I wish the first place bombs were n64 style!

I'm not a gamer and so the fewer buttons required, the better for me, which is what makes the Wii perfect. However, Mario Kart for the Wii is a blast, it requires minimal button control and is fun for all ages!
What's great about it: Easy to use, very little buttons
