Players, start your engines. It's time to once again get on the racing circuit and compete against characters from the Mushroom Kingdom that you know and love. For the first time on the Nintendo Wii U console, you get to experience the racing action that has been a fan favorite for years, with a few added features to keep things interesting. So buckle up, push the pedal to the floor and get ready to turn this classic racing experience upside down.With new racing circuits, new gameplay features and a stunning new look, Mario Kart 8 certainly lives up to the legacy. The new anti-gravity feature will have you suddenly finding yourself racing on walls in a haunted mansion or upside-down over Princess Peach's castle ~ not to worry, the wheels on your kart will automatically rotate and shift into antigravity gear for an awesome racing element that allows mind-blowing new circuit designs. The previous games in the Mario Kart franchise introduced some amazing features, so they're back for more in Mario Kart 8. You can still see who's got what it takes in 12-player online competitive play. Hang gliders and motorbikes are back, as well as underwater racing and mid-air tricks, while Waluigi and Toadette rejoin the cast of characters. As the icing on the cake, the crisp, high-definition graphics and 60-frames-per-second frame rate of your Nintendo Wii U ensure a visually stunning and vibrant gameplay experience that you won't soon forget.

It's fun but you'll lose friends

I played this with my boyfriend and I got super mad. On only 100cc. I'm scared to go up any further. But the carts are cute and the characters fun. The tracks are varied and if you get the bundle for extra tracks you'll enjoy it more. Online play is very competitive.

Very funny - surprised me

This movie surprised me to no end. If you watch the unrated version, there's some jokes in there that certainly should not have been in theatres, or some jokes go on for way too long. But she is funny. And that's why you're watching it.

Looks fuzzy on WiiU
on December 28, 2015
Posted by: skyroodv
Verified Purchase:Yes
The 3.0 update looks fuzzy on Wii U. not sure if it runs better on other systems. This play pack is interesting. They added little side missions you have to do for the main quest but with 2 players it doesn't show the same objective on both. Can make it fun so you can do one objective while your friend does another.

The figure looks super cartoonish, but it looks like Chewie. And the ingame avatar sounds like him. Hard to not sound like him.

You've searched castle after castle for the princess, slid through too-many-to-count number of pipes, ridden Yoshi on thrilling adventures and tossed fireballs, flown, stood still like a statue and swam underwater. You've completed every level, found every warp world, battled with Bowser every time. You know the iconic levels so well, you can complete them with your eyes closed. Well, not any more.Get ready for the most creative, exciting and challenging Super Mario game to date with Super Mario Maker. Design, create and play your own levels on your Wii U GamePad, and then explore those levels created by Nintendo and players from around the world. Use your GamePad's touch screen to add enemies, blocks, pipes and more. Combine enemies, traps and items into unexpected twists to break conventions and add unique challenges. Choose from four distinct themes, such as Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U, each with unique art styles and features. Drop in the Mystery Mushroom item to transform into different characters at random, and unlock additional characters by completing 100 Mario Challenge mode or tapping in compatible amiibo figures. Are you ready to speed through courses in record fashion, battle Piranha Plant-shooting cannons, boost your abilities with powerup-tossing Lakitus and take on the Hammer Bros. riding on Bowser while bouncing on trampolines? Better yet, do all that, and then show off your own ideas.

Surprised me

Verified Purchase:Yes
I only got this for my boyfriend, but when I saw him start building levels and how easy it was and how fun it was to make some, I started making my own. It's so simple of an idea but it really executes it well. If you like Mario, don't wait for the next one to come out - jump in and play other's ideas.

They found their formula

They found their formula with Ghost Protocol and stuck with it. It has humor and action throughout. They have a smidge of a romance in there, but give it up about halfway through knowing what the people would want to see.

Buggy mess, but really fun

Destruction. That's all this game is about. And the different ways you can destroy stuff, the higher your points are. It's like an FPS mixed in with Burnout haha. It's really fun, but is very buggy. I've had the game crash SEVERAL times in only a few nights of playing.

This game is garbage

Verified Purchase:Yes
I only bought it because I fell into the hype. This game does not hold your hand and makes you learn everything or have to buy the game guide to find out what you need to do. Either way, I keep jumping back into it. If you liked Skyrim (I didn't) then you'll like this one.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III is the ultimate 3-games-in-1 experience. In Campaign mode, you must navigate the hot spots of a new Cold War to find your missing brothers. Players can play the campaign cooperatively or solo and are now always connected to the intelligence grid and their fellow operatives during battle. Multiplayer features a new momentum-based chained movement system, allowing players to fluidly move through the environment with finesse, using controlled thrust jumps, slides, and mantling. Black Ops III multiplayer also introduces the new Specialist character system, which allows players to master 9 characters' battle-hardened weapons and abilities through a challenge-based unlock progression system. No Treyarch title would be complete without its signature Zombies offering. "Shadows of Evil" has its own distinct storyline right out of the box, set in the fictional 1940s Morg City, where four particularly troubled individuals ~ the femme fatale, the magician, the detective, and the boxer ~ star in this film-noir inspired horror story.

It has a few new gimmicks that make the multiplayer a bit more varied, but essentially you still run and shoot and win. Nothing new.

A good restart of a good game
on December 28, 2015
Posted by: skyroodv
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's a fun game. The fret button layout change definitely feels more like a real guitar, and the harder modes can really make it feel confusing. The hokey cheesy on-stage with live video is a little bleh. You're too focused on the game to worry about what the crowd is doing or your band mates and every venue you're in a different band. It would have made more sense if your prestige travelled with you. Live mode is where it shines. Although you have to buy plays with tokens (tokens are earned through play throughs of songs) you'll usually end up playing a few you know you enjoy. Overall a fun game.
