Another Kart Game!
I have been looking forward to this game for a long time! I was impressed with the controls. It was very addicting no doubt. But I was disappointed when I did 3-4 player games. It was confusing and hard when I saw these small squares with no space at all. But Mario Kart Wii makes up for that when I played the Wi-Fi it was terrific multiplayer across the world. So really Mario Kart Wii can get boring, I was disappointed but it is an awesome.

Mario Kart Wii
I love this game and why is because well for 1) it has great controls and picking from Wii wheel, to the Wiimote and nunchuk, GCN controller, and finally classic controller.
Graphics are good I have no complaints and i rarely ever see glitching even online! The game also has a great roster of characters from mario to luigi, dry bones to dry bowser.
The Motorcycles in the game bring variety to the table which is never a bad thing. As for the online, you may have a dropped game now and then but its sorta rare. Playing with friends or just random people you can have up to 12 people playing at once! I love full games because I usually smoke them especially on SNES Ghost Valley 2.
Only complaint I really was there wasn`t no 2 characters to a kart like in Double Dash *sigh*.
Overall Mario Kart Wii is pretty far from disapointing and pretty much the best and most advanced in the series and that why I gave it what I did.

The Best Since N64
I never really cared for the SNES version that much. I mean, it was OK and all but it got rather annoying to me. I guess it was the graphics of it then.
PMario Kart Wii takes the best elements of the N64 version and GC version and tweaks it just right. Add in bigger tracks, online play with leaderboards and it's really a no brainer. If you like fun well made games you have to check this out.
The only bad thing to say really is on 150cc mode the A.I. can be super cheap. It makes it more based on luck winning than skill.

The Kart of all Karts
Wow, i was waiting for this game to come out for the longest time, and when it finally did i was amazed at the amount of fun it was to play both alone and with friends. The online play is pretty cool as well. The only downfall are those stupid blue shells. Over all this game is very cool. I am only slitely addicted to it, so send me your friend codes and ill give you a run for your money.
