5 Stars Excellent
I got this game as a gift and the 8 year old enjoyed playing with it. Its very realistic and fun for the whole family. The 2 year old seem to enjoy the most!!

2 Stars Strictly a multiplayer game.
Yes, the fact that I have to play this to no end to unlock players that should already be in the game is quite annoying. I’ve found that playing with the nunchuck is more enjoyable, more controlling, than with the wheel. Also the ridiculousness of coming in late in a race when it is practically in the bag is just too much. It’s a good multiplayer game. That’s about it. It was a much better game on 64! Might as well buy that system and the original if you want to have fun.

5 Stars Yes, it is the best Wii Game!
FUN, FUN, FUN!! We’ve had this game for 5 months. My husband and I, who don’t even like video games, play this with our kids at least a few times a week. (And we’ve both been busted sneaking off and working on our personal “driver’s licences.” We got the Wii and this game for the kids, and we love it as much as them… the best is doing it all together. We have 15 Wii games and this one gets played WAY more than the others combined. If you only have this one game, the Wii console is totally worth it.

4 Stars Geat game!
It’s a great game! If you like racing, You’ll love this game, but when you first get the game, you don’t have all the tracks. It is cool because when you have a dirt bike, you can do “pop a wheelies”. And sometimes, baby carriagages rock because I’ve gotten first place with a baby carriage! I like racing with my friend G.B. except when he crashes into me. If you’re thinking about buying a racing game, I would buy this one. And, if you only have one steering wheel, and you want to race with a friend, you can use the remote by it’s self. You have a choice of characters to choose from and each character has their own selection of vehicles.

4 Stars fun driving game, but not a driving simulator
Great game for kids. Buy an aftermarket wheel to complement the one that comes with the game and play in 2 person mode for even more fun.

Game Features:

  • The Wii Wheel transforms the Wii Remote™ controller into a steering wheel that feels natural in anyone’s hands, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk™ controller offer a classic control style for the Mario Kart veteran. In either configuration, players can perform speed-boosting tricks with a shake of the Wii Remote.
  • Players can race as their favorite Nintendo character, or even as themselves! Mario Kart Wii lets players race with their personalized Mii™ characters. And racers will see other Mii characters they have created cheering from the sidelines on some race courses.
  • Players can compete with up to three friends in their living room. Or challenge up to 11 opponents via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in the biggest Mario Kart race yet. All tracks and modes of play are available via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, and players can visit the Mario Kart Channel to compete in tournaments, check rankings, see when their friends are playing and download ghost data.
  • Cruise new tracks and arenas or tour classic courses from Super Mario Kart™, Mario Kart?64, Mario Kart? Super Circuit™, Mario Kart? Double Dash!!™ and Mario Kart?DS. Tired of riding on four wheels? Bust out one of the new motorbikes for special tricks and techniques.

Characters
Nintendo favorites Mario™, Luigi™, Peach™, Yoshi? Donkey Kong? Wario™, Bowser™ and Toad™, plus a host of new faces-including your own! Get into the game and put your Mii™ character behind the wheel.

Special Powers/Weapons/Moves/Features
Whether racing around an obstacle-filled track or battling in an arena, drifting and tossing items are the keys to Mario Kart success.

5 Stars Mario Kart Wii
I really loved this game and my dad was thrilled to receive this for his birthday. It definately has added fun time to our family gatherings. The delivery was quick and I am glad we got an extra wheel!!!

5 Stars Mario Kart for Wii
Two wheels are better than one! Race against family members and friends. Fun races and graphics.

5 Stars Mario Kart
The Mario Kart game provides hours of fun and entertainment.. I get a kick out of watching other people trying to navigate the games. I give it two thumbs up.

5 Stars Great Deal for a Fun Game!
Me and my wife found this game extremely fun and have no complaints about the price. Its what you are going to pay for a game that is becoming hard to find in public stores.

I couldnt be happier with the turnout of Nintendo’s new Mario Kart! Such a blast and the online play is awesome!

Now if I can just get as good at it as I was with Mario Kart 64, we would be talking smiles! Haha!

Get it, you wont regret it!

5 Stars Mario Kart Wii With Extra Wii Wheel
This is a great game but to be honest with you the “extra wheel” that comes with it is joke. In order to get setup to play this game (pick your player, pick your car, and get started) you need to have the Wii remote out of the “extra wheel” because there is no hole in the wheel for the sensor to access the Wii Sensor Bar. Since there is no hole in the “exra wheel” you can’t point the Wii remote at the Wii Sensor Bar to go through the game setup. The extra wheel is very poorly designed and I feel that I was ripped off because I paid more for this extra wheel.

EA has done what’s known in the trade as a Roman Bednar, sneakily nodding home a never-saw-that-coming winner in injury time to steal the top slot in the All-Formats Top 40 from Call of Duty: World at War and Mario Kart Wii in third. It’s a moral victory for Nintendo’s mascot, though, as he was competing on a single console against two releases across multiple formats. Still, FIFA’s rise - up a whopping 89% in sales from last week, besting Mario Kart’s 40% improvement and COD’s 13% rise (whi

I’ll be the first to admit that Wii hasn’t had the best year ever. Nintendo has tested large sections of its core fanbase this year - certainly in the last six months - with very few first-party titles which appealed to a non-casual audience. While Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl - among others - meant Wii got off to a great start this year, the fact that Animal Crossing was considered to be Nintendo’s big Christmas game for the hardcore gamers (at least, according to Reggie Fils-
