I bought this over a month ago and I'm still having a lot of fun playing it. It's a great game to play with people and actually works well as a social video game. Single player is also fun and get difficult enough to keep it interesting. Racing is definitely a lot better than battle mode but it still is a great game. Playing online is nice touch as well. The only problem is the learning curve when using the Wii Wheel. It takes a little time to get used to but it's definitely a fun way to play the game.
What's great about it: Multi-player is great, doesn't get boring easily
What's not so great: Learning curve using Wii Wheel
