Hardly considered a racing game.

User Rating: 7 | Mario Kart Wii (w/ Racing Wheel) WII
I have been playing Mario Kart Ds for the past two years, so it was hard to transfer over to the Wii. If your making a choice of Mario Kart Wii or Mario Kart ds, than I highly reccomend getting the one on ds, but im not here to talk about mario kart ds....

Mario Kart Wii is a very nice game to look at, the graphics are very smooth (much better than the glossy looking graphics on Gamecubes' Mario kart double dash) You would think playing with the steering wheel would be high tech, but it doesnt set a good medium because the gameplay isnt the greatest. In my opinion this game has plenty of things to pick at....

Mario Kart Wii has abused the item factor of the game to the limit, it takes the skill out of the game... Way to many blue shells. In some cases there are a series of blue shells and lightning bolts and etc coming at you from every angle!, u feel like you are trying to escape from a war!!

The controls arent the best either, that being said its way better control than mario kart double dash. So its a step in the right direction.
If you are a fan of the mario kart franchise than i reccomend getting this game. Just remember it has some flaws that can ruin the gameplay, but its atleast playable (unlike mario kart double dash).

The wifi aspect of the game can be real fun, something about racing people from around the world is exiting. Though like i said above, the item abuse takes most the skill out of the game...

Mario kart wii is a great installment to the mario kart series! Ill be looking for you on Wifi...
