Kev, Manchester

Score 6.0/10

+ It's Mario Kart.

- 2-player fun has been destroyed by the removal of head-to-head battle and racing modes. Rather than give you the option of playing these modes exclusively with a friend, Nintendo has made it compulsory that you play amongst additional computer opponents. I can only imagine that they took this decision because it is easy, but I expect more from Nintendo. Previous Mario Kart games were the best 2-player games available on any console. Surely Nintendo would want to preserve these 2-player modes as an option on future games?

+ Easy to set up and use, came with the Wheel so didn't have to buy it seperately. Good background music and the graphics are excellent. Good choice of characters to play with. You can play in both automatic and manual mode, at various engine speeds and with different types of car and bikes.

- The wheel takes time to get used to using, but you can play with the wii remote and nunchuck which is probably easier if your not used to racing games or the sensitivities of the wii console.

- The graphics are okay, but could be better. My 14 yr old didn't find it very challenging but I did!

- Just can't beat the kids on any of the games - think this says more about my ineptidue than faults with game.
You definitely need at least 2 wheels for multi player mode, the wii remote just doesn't give you the same experience as the wheel.

+ It is really fun because it is challenging and you always want to see who is going to win, alse because you can play it over and over again, and you can unlock fun new roads, and cool cars.

- Once you have played it over and over again, and you win every time, it gets a little boring because if u win in every race, then u might get excited about unlocking something and if you find you dont it may get you a bit worked up. Also, if you could choose levels: Begginer, or Expert, then you could try and test yourself on a harder level to see how far you come.

Manufacturer's Description

With more racers than ever before, WiFi racing against opponents across the globe, and new characters, stunts and weapons it’s looking brilliant, and that’s before you take into account the Wii Steering Wheel attachment that comes in the box and the addition of motorbikes to the vehicle line-up!

I Kart Believe It!

We’ve all got our favourite versions of Mario Kart. Most favour the SNES original. Personally I’ve always like the N64 version. Whatever your favourite Mario Kart game, Mario Kart Wii will not disappoint.

Mario Kart Wii is the Mario Kart with something for everyone. It’s even more pick up and play thanks to the motion-sensing control and the genius decision to include the Wii Steering Wheel. It’s only a piece of plastic – but it makes playing Mario Kart Wii all the more involving, and will be an enormous grin-inducing novelty for the largely non-gamer Wii audience.
