Addictive and fun racing action — you cant play just one round.! The roster of characters is great. Just wait until you see some of the characters that you can unlock! Seriously
Its Mario Kart
People. Do we really need to convince you of how aweso...
Huge number of courses
Including some of the most imaginative yet
Deeply integrated online play
Easy to jump into for players of any skill level
Fun and strategic trick system
Motorcycles provide a great alternative to go-karts
The editors didn't like
Some of the items are way too powerful. How the blue shell made it through beta testing is beyond us. The game rewards stragglers too much. Trying to maintain a lead is way harder than it should be. The graphics wont blow you away and they get worse w...
Nostalgia doesnt save most of the classic courses from being boring
Items are more unbalanced than ever
Especially on new tracks
Battle modes are now exclusively team-based and timed
Refined kart gameplay blends old and new mechanics successfully, Great roster of tracks, Tons of characters, Smooth online multiplayer matches, Wii Wheel really does feel great
Online interface is unintuitive, cumbersome in spots, A.I. is infuriating in latter races, No co-op Grand Prix mode means lonely nights of unlocking content, Tricks are limited, $10 to $15 for extra wheels? Its nothing but plastic!
The last remaining piece of the puzzle is the multiplayer experience, which has defined Mario Kart as a series since its inception. Multiplayer heads online with Mario Kart Wii, but the developers didnt forgo the standard four-player local multiplayer...
Addition of bikes is great; online racing is amazing; great leader boards; familiar gameplay; crisp graphics, great sounds.
Some disappointing unlockables; a few bland tracks; the "chance" element can frustrate; Wii Wheel is only okay.
Mario Kart Wii plays it relatively safe. Gone are the experimental nuances seen in the GameCubes MK: Double Dash; this latest incarnation mimicks everything that was good and wholesome from the superb Mario Kart DS. Mario Kart Wii brings the same fami...
Abstract: del.icio.us | Digg This | Glink It Before there was Smash Bros., Mario Kart was Nintendo’s multiplayer ace in the hole. After two good, but not great console entries in Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Nintendo released Mario Kart DS and...
I have to admit I was pretty upset when I sat down to write this review. I had just come off a 5-hour Mario Kart session with the last hour and a half being wasted on doing the same series (150cc Flower) over and over again, trying all the characters t...
Abstract: It’s been almost 16 years since we first played Mario Kart and in that time the game has become one of Nintendo’s biggest franchises. In addition to being an important part of Nintendo’s repertoire, it has earned a reputation as be...

Abstract: Nintendo may not have a lot of street cred with the elitist "hardcore" gaming crowd but theres no denying that the Big N has established itself as a major force in the current generation of gaming.
Abstract: If you’re a fan of Mario Kart – from the SNES era to GameCube’s Double-Dash and all those iterations in-between – you’ve already played Mario Kart Wii without actually realizing it. This reviewer was initially, and for many days after, severely disap...
Abstract: For many of us, it's been over 15 years since we threw down our first banana peel, or sent our first turtle shell screaming towards the bumper of a go-kart. In 1992, when Nintendo released Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo, they arguably may hav...
