The best controls for the wii yet with a killer online system
let me lay down the basics:
controls:10 out of 10. These blew me away! They are super sensitive and your character never gets jerked in the wrong direction! You dont have to use the wii wheel however, you can use the gamecube controller, wii remote and nunchuck, wii remote on the side(steering), and classic controller. Still I recomend the wii wheel.
gameplay:9 out of 10. The game is realy fun with a lot of modes, but its not quit like super smash bros brawl. The matches feel realy cheap when someone wins with a lighting bolt or star, expecialy in grand prix(tournament mode). However the game is still really fun!
graphics:7.5 out of 10. This is where the game falls short. Graphics dont mean everything in the world but you cant help but snicker at some points in the game. The characters look blocky and blurry and some of the tracks have very little detail. If your looking for the wii's graphical potential I suggest brawl or zelda twilite princes.
overall:8.5 out of 10
Its mabey not as good a game as brawl but I guarantee you will love the game if you like mario. With decent graphics, amazing controls, and good gameplay mario kart wii recieves a 8.5 out of 10. A solid B
