    Best Mario Kart.

    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.

    is it just me or does this guy seem like a stereotypical nintendo fanboy? not saying that this game isn't deserving of its score

    @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.

  • FirstDiscovery

    Does he have to overate EVERYTHING on the Wii?

    Awesome review Lark, very well summarised. I agree with the annoying addition of the new items.

    Just about fine. The game has not changed much from its predecessors.

  • blankshore

    Posted Dec 25, 2008 9:13 pm PT

    This game has some seriously great online! Some of the best I've ever played. Not sure I like the jump from 8 players to 12 though. Makes things just a little too random for my taste. Still a fantastic game though

    yeh man this game is awesome i like it

  • gringbot

    Posted Dec 1, 2008 7:32 pm PT

    "these new items, for the most part, fit in quite nicely. tho the inclusion of yet another item that hits multiple racers and punishes a good performance, seems a bit... unnecessary."

    this is why i cant stand playing this game a lot, i KNOW im a better player then the friends i play with. they dont even use manual for christs sake as its "too much" for them. yet they will beat me through some mega loop hole, and then its "OMG I BEAT YOU HAHAHA IM SO GOOD RIEGHT!?" no, your still bad, your just given the illusion your good. and i wouldnt mind so much if the people i was playing could comprehend the real reason they won, but they like to just think it was SKILL.

    this is the biggest problem i have with nintendo games lately, is their handicaps end up really hurting skilled players the most, mainly because its SET UP THAT WAY. this really is not a racing game because the item system eliminates so much skill and reduces most of it to chance. go play diddy kong racing, then tell me that mario kart wii is based on skill.
