Brace yourself for a new set of tricks, tracks and ways to race. The included Wii Wheel transforms your Wii Remote into a steering wheel that feels great in your hands, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller supply a classic control style for veterans of this racing series. Either way, you'll be able to perform impressive speed-boosting tricks, such as jumps, flips and wheelies.You can zip through brand-new tracks and arenas, and also tour classic courses from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash and Mario Kart DS. There are even options for trying all-new motorbikes that have their own special tricks and techniques. The action gets fast, furious and funny when you race in Mario Kart Wii.

Great game makes great franchise better

This is a great game that adds to many of the fantastic titles that the Wii already has to offer. The Wii wheel adds a new driving mechanic to those who have not played some of the other driving games already out on Wii. It doesn't really make the game any easier or harder with or without the wheel but since it's already packaged with the game, why not use it? There are plenty of unlockables throughout the game that will keep you busy for a while. The addition of bikes to the game really adds an interesting aspect to the gameplay because you are no longer restricted to only driving a cart. Bikes and Carts can race together, each with thier own strengths and weaknesses. The best part of the game by far is it's online capability. You can connect with friends or with random people from around the world and race or battle against each other. There is little or no lag (depending on your connection) and games are started within seconds. Some people complained about the online problems that Smash brothers Brawl had but it seems like either this game does not have the same problems or that nintendo was able to fix these problem within the month that it's been since Brawl came out.
The only real problem I have with the game is it's catch-up logic on 150cc single player. The other computer controlled characters seem to get every power-up it needs to make sure you don't win the race. It takes a lot of luck and some really masterful driving to make sure you can pass 150cc with an "A" rating. But, it seems like Nintendo found this problem and fixed it on multi-player which is a plus.
Overall I think this game is great and should belong to all Wii owners whether they are seasoned veterans of Mario Kart or first time owners.
What's great about it: Wii wheel, New maps, new characters, ONLINE BATTLES/RACES
What's not so great: Catch-up Logic/AI can be frustrating on 150cc
I would recommend this to a friend!
