It's awsome!! There are so many tracks to race on, even old ones. There is also new characters that weren't even on the other Mario Kart games. It's very interactive and fun. Oh, you can also do Wi-Fi and race other people around the world!
What's great about it: There are so many race tracks and so many characters!
What's not so great: Racing the ghosts are really hard.

This is honestly one of my most favorite games ever! I can play it for hours. You can choose the skill level of the other characters you're going against. So if you want the race to be easier, just make the other characters bad at driving. There's so many places and characters to unlock. And they give you so many choices of stuff to do! You can play with people online, play against the CPU's, play as a team, or play battle mode. I personally find that the game isn't either too hard or too easy. Sometimes I win, sometiems I lose. :D
What's great about it: fun to play alone or with friends, lots to unlock, big variety of characters and race vehicles to choose from

Mario Kart Wii is way better than the DS verison.It still share some of the similar features such as racing through WiFi, but the Wii verison give you more chartaters and rides. It is really fun to play in groups or alone. the price may be high, but its worth it for Mario Kart Wii!

Wow. This game never gets old. It gets played very often in my household (ages: 41, 34, 22, 17, 13) and by our nephews (ages: 9, 8).
Don't use the wheel! For us, the biggest problem with this game is when we try to use the "wheel". Unfortunately, the reaction time of the Wii remote is so slow and uneven that racing with the wheel (that is, just using the Wii remote alone) is impractical and infuriating. However, once you attach the nunchuck or a classic controller, the control sensitivity increases and game gets really good!
This game already has a multitude of excellent reviews, so I won't add too much more except to say: Best game ever!
What's great about it: Great racing fun, once you get the hang of it.
What's not so great: Don't use the wheel! Use the nunchuck or classic controller instead.

This is a really fun game and you can get hours of gameplay from it. There's a few new features like boosts, in-air tricks, etc...but other than that, it is pretty similar to Mario Kart Double Dash for the Gamecube. I was kind of disappointed about the lack of upgrades, new features and such, but I'm still satisfied with the game and still play it from time to time even after having bought it over a year ago. One thing I do not recommend for this game is the Wii Wheel. If you want to be cool or whatever by saying you only play with the Wii Wheel, fine, but you'll probably get dominated. It is much more fun and efficient to simply play with the Wii-Mote and Nunchuck or the Gamecube Controller. The drifiting aspect in this game is awesome, and you really can't do it with the Wii Wheel. Another disappointment is the new stages; there are a few fun ones, but other than that I consider them to be pretty weak. Overall, it is a fun game, probably worth buying if you really like the Mario Kart franchise. I'm looking forward to a new Mario Kart game, though.
What's great about it: Easy to Pick Up (at least I think), Tons of New Characters/Vehicles
What's not so great: New Stages Aren't Overly Impressive, Wii Wheel is Somewhat Worthless

This game is great for 5yr olds & up. My daughter tested the game out in the store when she was four, but I waited for her to turn five to give it to her. Wish I let her play it earlier. So... I'm sure that four year olds can play this game.
If you like Mario then it is a must have! Perfect game for beginners and all Mario fans. There are several different characters to pick from, different karts and bikes. Even though the game was not very challenging (for me) I still love the game, loads of fun and really cute. Can't go wrong with this game, it is a must have and you will not be disappointed. Even though my daughter has won all the cups in the grand prix she plays it over and over again. It's her favorite game. Then you can do timed trials and race against a ghost or race on teams (blue or red) to collect coins and or question marks. The team with the most coins wins.
What's great about it: Anybody can play, even 5yr olds. All the characters, different bikes and karts.
What's not so great: Not very challenging for gamers/adults. Great for kids & adults w/ lil gaming experience.

This is definitely the best multiplayer game for the Wii. There are lots of fun, different courses, plenty of different karts and bikes, and lots of characters (it's great that you can play as your Mii). It's easy to pick up and play for first time players who will get help through better items if they fall behind. It is also a challenge for more experienced players. The multiplayer, both online and local, is the true strength of this game though; it's really great! A must-have game for the Wii!
What's great about it: Really fun to play with friends and family plus it has great online play.
