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.

This game is great. First of all, the game runs in 480p widescreen at 60fps, so the game looks really good. The single player grand prix races are fun...until you play 150cc mode, in which the computer players are ridiculously cheap and annoying. Other than that, the online play is really good, and versus mode is also fun, the only problem is when you are playing split screen, the game drops to a noticeable 30fps. I recommend this game to anyone who likes racing games, and even anyone who doesn't, its pretty much fun for everyone.
What's great about it: Wii Wheel functionality, Great online play, Very fun
What's not so great: 150cc mode is brutal, split screen frame rate drop
