Sad.Nov 19, 2008 Really,it is sad.Ok first off the game is way to hard.You can be in 1st and then the COM will hit you with a red shell and you will be in 7th,literlay.Next theres no free for all battle,why the heck couldnt NINTENDO put that in its stupid.After that the Wii wheel is not easy to use,its not stable.I used my classic controller and the game itself is frustrating.I dont know,thats just my opinion.If you want a raceing game for Wii then get it.But if you want a mario kart game and you have a DS mario kart ds is a much better choice {unless you already have it}.If your looking for good Wii games in general theres lots of choices other than this.My favorites are Smash Bros Brawl,Zelda,and Warioware.Anyhow hope you find what your looking for.
Loads of fun for all ages!Nov 17, 2008 While not the best thing to look at in the graphics department (especially during multiplayer races), this game manages to be extremely fun. The control scheme(s) are great, and while I am better when using the Wiimote/nunchuch scheme, I find myself wanting to use the Wii Wheel most often because it adds to the fun. The bottom line here is that everyone can enjoy this game, and the multiplayer never gets old. The best thing I can say about this game is that I will be playing it for as long as I own a Wii. A definite must buy for the Wii.
One of Nintendo's best ideas yetNov 15, 2008 First of all, I give this game 5 stars because of the overall fun and playability level. You can play other people around the world in battles and races. We have probably spent more time playing this game than any other Nintendo game with the exception of Mario Kart for the N64. I love the "wheel" concept although you don't need a wheel to play. I have a couple complaints: the power ups are kind of lame compared to all of the other Mario Kart games. They are also harder to get it seems. My other complaint is that you can be in first place and end up in near-to-last place in about 3 seconds, it seems you have little control of this. It is almost a fluke if you win, whereas in other Mario Karts it was more directly tied to your skill level. Overall, it is so fun to battle and race people from other countries that I love this game. Sometimes you will be racing people from the UK, the US, France, Japan, and Australia all at once. SO fun! I hope Nintendo comes out with more games like this!
Great Fun for the Whole FamilyNov 14, 2008 Simply put, my wife and I get a kick out of the game, and our 3.5 year old son loves it. We don't really play for points, or winning anything, just mainly to have fun. And this game comes through in spades in that department. The controls are easy, which makes the game playable and fun even for younger kids. It is a must-own for the Wii in my opinion.
lots of fun!Nov 13, 2008 This game was a lot of fun and easy to figure out. I love that you can play on your own, or with up to four people and all four people are playing at the same time, as opposed to taking turns. Your characters are interactive with each other if you want them to be. So my opponent gets ahead of me, I can fling a turtle at him and temporarily wipe him out ... if I am armed at the time. Lots of fun.
