At first I wasnt to sure if I wanted this game but while I was at my local best buy store I played the demo provided there. I really really liked it. Luckily there was one copy left on the return shelf! I had to take it. I played it at home and it was great fun. It is really fun to play with other people too. The Wii wheel isnt really needed to play the game though... but it does give it the feeling that you are actually driving. I have the Mario Kart DS version and I find it prety similar other than of course the driving method.
What's great about it: Character Choices, New Baby Characters, Kart selection, Many places to race on...
What's not so great: Some things in the game I find way to hard such as getting "expert staff ghosts"
