Online play is outstanding, really easy to get into and oh so difficult to put down. Online competitions are fun and usually have an added special feature making it stand out from the standard game.
It's a game that really lives up to its reputation!

Score 10.0/10+ Awesome game, with some classic courses. Steering wheel a nice gimmick, but real gamers will use control stick instead. Online racing where the game comes alive.
- Not a lot, may not quite have the handling of past Mario Kart games, but comes close.

Score 9.0/10+ easy to play from the instant you insert game - suitable for any age with different levels of difficulty
- the only one is you can be in 1st places with 100 yards to go and end up last because of items or be last and end up 1st which sometimes removes any skill factor

Score 9.0/10+ Great game. Same playability as the N64 version but with advantage of being able to compete online with friends or with just random strangers. Highly recommend.
- As with any multiplayer game you need multiple controllers which can be pricey. No fault of the game though.

Mason, Wrexham , “Gamer-geek. Non-biased-reviewer. ”
Score 10.0/10+ Excellent online multiplayer (ability to have two players on one console). Deep grand prix mode with many unlockables and a star rating system that shows up when you play online. Choice of control options is perfect and the Wii wheel system is very fun. A total of 32 race tracks and 12 battle arenas. 24 playable characters (the most ever for a Mario Kart game) and the abiltity to play as your mii in two different oputfits. Incredibly easy to take online. Having played many games in this genre this is by far the best (so far) and is highly recommended.
-
Lack of grand prix mode but this was not sorely missed due to the online and very well done grand prix mode.
The game loses some minor points for features due to the battle mode as you are forced to play as a team. A free for all mode would have been a welcome option.

Euan, Leeds , “Great online game”
Score 8.0/10+ The main game is as you'd expect and you work your way through the 50cc, 100cc, 150cc and Mirror Mode. This works well and i like the transition to Bikes as well as cars! I'd say the main plus to the game is the online mode and it has to be one of the best online games on the market. Having 1 and 2 player online modes, choosing betweek bikes and cars and race or battle is all awesome! Then when you get to joining a game you see all players Mii's from around the world and pin-pointed on a map. Love the gameplay!
- Very few to be honest, not sure about the games longevity, but i could be wrong!

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.
