- Driving has never been so much fun....
Nintendo release another first class game that provides endless hours of fun. The graphics are colourful and game play is simple. Quite a few hidden levels, cars/bikes and characters to be unlocked.
Online gaming is very simple and lots of fun as human opponents are unpredictable.
Got a Wii? Treat yourself to Mario Kart.

- Great game let down by delivery
First things first the game. Its great and the wheel works really well, I strongly recommend it.
My mark down is for the age old problem with purchasing these things from Amazon. The free delivery option when it somes to buying new release items stinks. It took a week for the game to come, not because of the courier or deliverer, but because Amazon did not process the purchase for a few days.
I just don't get this mentality. What's the value in buying a game that's the same price with other vendors, but that Amazon deliberately choose to hold onto because you haven't paid their extra fee? If it was processed and the courier took the time I would understand, but that's not the case here.
Salt was rubbed in the wound when I went into Woolworths at the beginning of the week and the game was there and cheaper!!!
I ordered this product before release so you'd expect that would count for something. I like Amazon on the whole but i'm going to be a lot more selective with my purchases in the future.
Rating: - If you own a Wii and have friends you really should get this game!
I had been waiting for this game since I first played Mario Kart games for the N64, to have the chance to use a steering wheel on Nintendo courses against my friends. I got this game on the day it came out and played it all weekend on multiplayer and have to say that I have not been dissappionted. Not completely anyway...
The steering is brilliant, easy to use and the most accessible of all Mario Kart titles to date as there is very little to remember and learn regarding the controls, you push up or down to use weapons and keep hold of 2 and steer. Thats it! There is a large number of karts for each character, all unique with levels of handling, speed, stregnth etc and three types of bike for each player too. There are new items to use and you can even play as your own mii when you have unlocked that ability. there are courses to unlock just like the DS version of Mario Kart and also new characters such as Mr. Boo.
The 16 new courses are brilliant and take a while to master which is a good thing as it makes it more exciting and races are also much closer due to the weapons being distributed in favour of those nearer the back but that is a good thing as even races against the computer are competitive. There are 16 retro tracks too, but to me this is one of a few minor issues that stop this game from being a perfect 5 star.
The 16 retro tracks are a bit of a rip off to be honest. The banana cup for example uses 3 DS tracks, some which the DS used as its own retro tracks. These tracks have been updated graphically, but this takes away what would be retro charm, replacing it with what looks like poor rushed tracks.
It is also an expensive game to fully appreciate. you need two wheels to get the minimum enjoyment, one generously a free gift with the game, extra official wheels for £8, expensive for a bit of plastic. to use this you need another wii remote, they cast £30. Thats just for two players so it could actually cost around £120 extra to play 4 players unless your friends bring their own wii remote and wheels. This depends on circumstances outside what is actually a fine game though, and the wii remote costs are understandable taking the advanced tecnologies into consideration.
This is a brilliant game, that was so close to being perfect and its flaws are circumstantial and to be honest i really am nitpicking! It is one of the greatest multiplayer experiences i have ever had, including Halo, Call of Duty and WWE games and deserves to be shared and enjoyed amongst friends and family of all ages, I do believe anybody would love playing this game and can not reccommend it highly enough.

Rating: - Brilliant!
I recommend this game to all wii owners, old and young! I got this game today, and have only got off of it to write this review to encourage others to get it as well! The use of the wii steering wheel really makes the gameplay better, the main game is just as fun as ever, and the online play, well, games are all the more fun when you're playing real people from around the world. I can already see this being my favourite wii game for a long long time! Make sure you buy a steering wheel for this game if you don't get one already with it as really does add to the effect of the already brilliant game!
Rating: - So much fun!!!
I'm generally hopeless at any kind of driving game so I was reluctant to buy this but after a bit of persuasion from my boyfriend i relented - i'm so glad I did! This is one of the most entertaining games that i've played on the wii, and the variety of tracks and simple controls make it much simpler to get the hang of than other driving games. The wii wheel is a brilliant idea and makes the gameplay even more fun, though it might take a bit of getting used to - I kept pressing the directional buttons to steer by accident when I first started playing!
