    Mario Kart DS still my favorite Mario Kart game, but this one is top notch as well.

    game does get boring without an internet connection because after you beat all the courses and unlock everything and your friends are bored of it you are out of luck

    wii wheel is great expirience but believe me wii mote with nunchunk is way more easier to use. i mean i raised my points to around 8800 with the wii mote and the nunchunk. i was negative about it at first like most but it is really better.

    if you have never heard, played, or even touched mario kart wii.... something is wrong with you... this is THE game to have if, or when you get a wii.... id give it a 9.9, cause the controls are a bit odd when you first play... such as if you turn the wii steering wheel too much u will completely turn around in the game!!!

    a bit hard to get to terms with at first but all round a great game!

    I liked the game, but I felt there was a bit too much emphasis on items this time around.

    Good game, good review, but i suck at it, so think ill go back to the games on xbox 360 where you pick up a gun and kill people.

    Best Mario Kart.

  • raphaelcoelho15

    Mario Kart Wii is a fun game, this is one of the best racing games ever. It's obvious that after playing all the courses this will get bored, that's why they put the online play, to the people play it over months or years.

    The only thing that missing is a Track Creator. I miss the characters Specials and some characters that was in Double Dash. I think that if nintendo join Mario Kart Wii with Double Dash, with the option to choose one of the modes and the possibility to mix cars with 1 character and cars with 2 in a race on Solo mode or on Multiplayer and Online matches, it would be better. This means more cars and motorcycles, all the characters that already appear in the series of Mario Kart, all items( including the Special Items of the Double Dash) and a perfect gameplay.

    If in the next title Nintendo put a Track Creator and join Mario Kart Wii with Double Dash, the score will be certainly 10 !! The rest, Nintendo does not need to change anything.

    @FirstDiscovery
    He overrates everything similar to what he played when a kid on nes/snes/nintendo 64,
    So pretty much all nintendo and old franchises.
