The mario kart we all know and love with some new additions. There are more jumps and you can perform tricks when going off a jump. I think the best part about this game is that they incorporate levels from previous games, including the SNES version!
This game is a lot of fun, especially if you have a large group of people playing. Online play is also great, but if you play with a friend online, only one player can actually be rated based on their win/loss.
If you liked any of the previous versions of mario kart on other systems, then this is a must buy.
What's great about it: Easy to get into, great for groups, online play
What's not so great: hard to play without wii wheel
