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. Takes a little getting used to the power sliding and new items. Does differ from older Mario Kart games but what game doesn't advance? If you are looking for a new type of interactivity with video games, Mario Kart and the Wii Wheel is a great place to start. I recommend that one buys at least 2 wheels, that is one additional to the game package, in case you want to team with a friends or family. Enjoy!
What's great about it: Wii Wheel is interactive, new maps and characters, incorporates old maps
What's not so great: Can be confusing to players used to former forms of Mario Kart
