BEST Mario Kart Ever!

I have been a Maio Kart fan since the Super Mario Kart first came out on the Super NES. Then I was a fan of Mario Kart on the 64. Then I was a fan of Mario Kart on the Gamecube. Now there is the Mario Kart Wii.
Big selection of characters to choose from, great control with the Wii Wheel, all new power ups, tricks, tracks, carts and the motorbikes! The game makes really good use of the Wiimote.
The graphics aren't that much better than the gamecube, but that really didn't bother me. The sounds are what you would expect from Mario Kart.
Better yet, the Wii version is online ready! Join the WFC or play against a buddy over the internet. The WFC puts players against total strangers all over the world to compete.
What's great about it: New courses, new vehicles, new power-ups!
What's not so great: not enough time in a day to play
I would recommend this to a friend!

Driving Like a Madman and Loving It

I'd only tried MarioKart for Wii once before, at a relative's house, but could immediately see how it could become addicting. Not surprisingly, when I received a Wii of my own, one of my earliest game purchases was MarioKart.
With its vibrant colors, cute characters and cartoonish approach to competition, MarioKart Wii upholds the stellar Nintendo approach of creating games that everyone can enjoy together. It would be impossible to summarize all of the individual elements of a game on a review site like this, so let's focus on the major themes.
Usability
A 7 out of 10 here. WIth every new generation of console, it seems new versions of games (and Mario Kart has a history spanning several platforms) need to pack in new features to show the capabilities of the new platform. That's all well and good, and the end result with Mario Kart Wii is a mind-blowing array when you combine the (1) multiple race course options, (2) features/obstacles you encounter on the courses, (3) race car options and (4) ways to play (one player, multiple players working as a team or against one another...not to mention the online versions). It's not that fewer options would necessarily improve the game, but what would help is the ability to turn some of that off and on based on the skill levels of the player(s).
Appearance
10 out of 10 (maybe 11 out of 10, really). The visual detail is remarkable (keep in mind, this is coming from soneone whose game playing days date to the Atari 2600, to be fair), and looks like a crayon factory exploded onto the screen. Bright, eye catching colors with clever design touches make this game as much a feast for the eyes as the mind.
Family Appeal
9 out of 10. The very young and those with little to no familiarity with video games will find it hard to play along, moreso if you have an experienced gamer who ends up leaving the less talented in the proverbial dust. But if everyone playing can keep in mind the mantra that it's just a game, and has some fun when they drive their car into the middle of the ocean or off a cliff, Mario Kart Wii can be a fun bonding experience for everyone.
All in all, there's a good reason Mario Kart Wii remains so popular. It's quite simply an amazing game that showcases the Wii system in all its glory, and helps explain why Wii is as popular as it is.
What's great about it: Family friendly fun that offers ample opportunity to explore and learn
What's not so great: Can be overwhelming to understand initially.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought if for the kids who are 5 and 6; but found myself playing when they were finished. This game is fun for the whole family. There is no violence or mature themes. There are a lot of different options that keep the game from getting to repetitive and the courses are pretty challenging.
If you are looking for a "realistic" race game, this is not it; however, this is a "fun" game and is not meant to be serious.
What's great about it: Fun to play with the whole family.
I would recommend this to a friend!

easy for kids to use, set up time is quick.
extra dedicated controller in the wheel [s], a definate time saver and plus. then the kiddos don't have to try and install them or take them out to play another game.
varrious levels of tracks to play on from the beginner, to more turns for those that have played a bit more.
I would recommend this to a friend!
