Players, start your engines. It's time to once again get on the racing circuit and compete against characters from the Mushroom Kingdom that you know and love. For the first time on the Nintendo Wii U console, you get to experience the racing action that has been a fan favorite for years, with a few added features to keep things interesting. So buckle up, push the pedal to the floor and get ready to turn this classic racing experience upside down.With new racing circuits, new gameplay features and a stunning new look, Mario Kart 8 certainly lives up to the legacy. The new anti-gravity feature will have you suddenly finding yourself racing on walls in a haunted mansion or upside-down over Princess Peach's castle ~ not to worry, the wheels on your kart will automatically rotate and shift into antigravity gear for an awesome racing element that allows mind-blowing new circuit designs. The previous games in the Mario Kart franchise introduced some amazing features, so they're back for more in Mario Kart 8. You can still see who's got what it takes in 12-player online competitive play. Hang gliders and motorbikes are back, as well as underwater racing and mid-air tricks, while Waluigi and Toadette rejoin the cast of characters. As the icing on the cake, the crisp, high-definition graphics and 60-frames-per-second frame rate of your Nintendo Wii U ensure a visually stunning and vibrant gameplay experience that you won't soon forget.

If you love other Mario Karts chances are you will love this iteration as well. Typical characters and courses but its a lot of fun especially with other people. The game looks beautiful with its new graphics upgrade as well.

Enemies will fall at the wave of your hand. Goals will be grasped with the reach of your arm. Sports tournaments will be won by the twist of your wrist. Your gaming destiny is clear when you're armed with the Wii Remote Plus controller. Hyper-sensitive to recognize your slightest movements, the Remote Plus eliminates buttons and joysticks and replaces them with the natural, fluid gestures of your body.A controller has never been so simple to use. Integrated MotionPlus technology intuitively recognizes every swing, twist, swish and blow and reproduces it on the screen with unbelievable accuracy, taking your mind off the buttons and into the battle, tournament or race. With this Mario-inspired controller, you get the red and blue colors of the classic character to add a bit of nostalgia to all your games. When your controller no longer controls you, the reins are yours to take ~ steer your way to success.

Not a fan of Wii type controllers

I am what some might say is a hardcore console gamer. I like my controllers to be typical but for what you use this controller for it works and responds well and is also built well just like most Nintendo products. I just prefer an Xbox 360 type controller over something like this.

Well I am a huge football fan but this game just feels the same year after year. They need to make bigger improvements to the gameplay if they expect people to buy it every year.

It is 1715. Pirates rule the Caribbean and have established a lawless pirate republic. Among these outlaws is a fearsome young captain named Edward Kenway. His exploits earn the respect of pirate legends like Blackbeard, but draw him into an ancient war that may destroy everything the pirates have built.

Not bad, but played better

Well first and foremost i am not much of an Assasin's Creed fan but i played and beat 3 as well as played 1 and 2 quite a bit. My favorite part of this game was the naval combat but the setting just didnt really suck me in the same way 3 did. That might just be that i am a fan of the Revolutionary War but these games in general are very repepitive.I would go somewhere else for your gaming but it is worth a rental.
