My 7 year old son loved Mario Kart for GameCube and had recently beat it and unlocked everything. He wanted the Wii version. I was afraid it wouldn't keep his interest, but it did/does. It have courses for other Nintendo systems, so if you played Mario Kart of those then some courses will look familiar. It's a good game, the whole family can play. There's lots of variety. The motorcycles are awesome.
What's great about it: a lot of variety, easy to play, tough to master, kids love it
