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...

Including some of the most imaginative yet
Deeply integrated online play

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

Abstract: One may wonder why Nintendo would add motorcycles and dirt bikes to the game series that popularized, if not invented, the genre of weapons-based go-kart racing. If youre one of the fans who balked at the inclusion of two-wheeled vehicles, a midair st...
Abstract: If you thought the aroma wafting from Smash Bros.' warmed-over Wii appearance seemed stale, try a whiff of Mario Kart Wii -- it's so predictable that it's practically vintage. But don't think for a second that this latest iteration isn't still a stella...
Abstract: There are times that I look at the Mario licence and think, heres a series thats only two shakes away from complete dissolution; falling into the same void that currently holds back SEGAs Sonic brand. Then I play a game like Mario Galaxy and that fe...
Abstract: Its you vs. the world (and the blue shell), and this time it works. With five previous instalments spread over as many platforms, Mario Karts arrival on Wii was only ever a matter of time. However, given Wii’s revolutionary features and runaway succ...
The new Mario Kart will please the Wii's casual audience better than Nintendo's hardcore fanbase, but relax, enjoy the new features and the nostalgia factor, and it's still an exemplary racing game....
Abstract: Mario Kart Wii revisits Nintendos well worn series and successfully manages to both cherry pick and balance the best bits so far. Certainly not as honed a single player experience as previous karting highs, but the online multiplayer along with the we...
Excellent playability, A lot of fun, especially with other players!, Motorbikes offer an interesting addition, Multiplayer up to 4 players or online
AI is annoying, Graphics haven't advanced, Steering wheel dispensable
Particularly fun among friends and to a lesser extent in one-player, Mario Kart Wii won't revolutionise the series but does introduce some good additions. Among them, the motorbikes are a nice surprise, while online multi-player mode allows you to incr...
Abstract: Mario Kart needs little introduction. The game first appeared in 1992 for the SNES as Super Mario Kart and a version has appeared on every console Nintendo has released since. The Wii version brings a few new features to the plate along with brand new ...
