good fun, while it lasts

This is a fun game that's gameplay is identical to mario kart in almost every way. It doesn't support the wii wheel. For a budget title, this game is quite fun. Then again, when u finish any set of races it just ends with no cutscenes or sense of accomplishment. Extremely shallow, will be fun the first week you have it but has no staying power like mario kart. But it's worth every cent of the $20 pricetag.

A Fantastic Game But Not The Best

This game is fantastic because you feel like you really driving a kart. I liked to drift so much! You will have more fun using the wheel but it doesn't help a lot.
But you will have a little bored after you play for a LONG time. It can be better if you can create your own kart and a own course.
But it's still good because you play online! You play with experts around the world!
You can drive bikes!

Pros.:
Feel like you are really driving a kart
Many different items, karts and courses
Can play online
You can drive bikes

Cons.:
Can't create karts and courses

Don't waste your money

It was very difficult to control the kart. The design is dark and boring. There is no hint or instruction on how to advance to next level. There is no instruction on how to unlock tracks and karts. Time and money wasted totally. If you want to feel frustrated, play this game.

Why do they hate us so much?

That's the only thing I could think of. M&Ms hates us all and never wants us to play video games again.

The controls are terrible. The tracks are a mess. You get caught on every little thing along the edges of the tracks and guess what? No reverse! You want to fling the Wii remote at the screen in rage after just a few attempts at making a circuit. The graphics are uninspired and the audio is wretched. My kids refused to put it back in after one play session.

Save your money! Save your sanity! Save yourselves! Do not buy this game!

worth the purchase

This was a great game to help my son with his eye hand coordination. He absolutely loves it. I also recommend the Mario Party 8. Even I have to get in on the action. Easy to use controls. Only one area of diffulty for my 5 1/2 yr old.

Mariolover

great game for everyone in the family. graphic are fabulous. very fun and exiciting. will spend hours playing. able to connect online with others to play along.

Finally Online Mario Kart!!

This game is fun. The online play makes every race intelligent and challenging. While the traditional single player is a great challenge it's extremely difficult because the computers cheat. Of course they've always cheated since the original Mario Kart, but this time they cheat even worse.

Now the online play is what makes this game great. You can always get anywhere from 7 to 11 competitors at any time of the day or night. These people are tough, but it's always a blast ramming and slamming them as you race for the finish. Its so much more real when you get those pesky computers off thet track. You ram them and they feel it in their hands, it doesn't get better than that.

The way the online play is set up is very slick. Nintendo picks players from either your country or around the world. They introduce them to you as a Mii waving in their locality on the globe. Sometimes you might race the same people 10 times in a row so you've got that opportunity to make it personal.  more

REALLY FUN

I GOT THIS GAME 3 YEARS AGO AND IT IS FUN. THIS GAME LETS YOU HAVE TWO
CHARECTERS IN A KART AT ONCE. THE GAME HAS ABOUT 21 PEOPLE TO CHOSE FROM.
I LIKE TO PICK FROM BABY MARIO AND BABY LUIGI.IT IS REALLY FUN

Very Pleased

I am a regular nintendo wii player and an avid overstock shopper. This game was a great deal and I have not been able to stop playing it since I got it a few days ago. I like the remote method of playing better than using the wheel it comes with. It is easier to control. So before you go and buy a second wheel for the other player in your home test out all methods of using the remotes. Def buy this game!!!

Mario Kart does not disappoint!

Mario Kart lives up to all the hype it has had this year--and then some. It's a fun, age-friendly game that then entire family can enjoy. For Wii owners, this game is a must have. Mario Kart Wii is easily the best game to come out on Wii yet, and one of the best games of all time.

AMAZING

So at first I was a little skeptical about this game because I have played every other version of Mario Kart and the Wii Wheel worried me because it seemed like it would be hard to control and gimmicky. After having played it, I actually find it to be the most fun out of all the mario karts. This version is very similar to Mario Kart 64 only with additional features such as

*12 racers in the grand prix
*Online racing (This morning I raced 12 people from around the world and there was no lag and hardly any wait time)
*Tricks (that can be done with the flick of the wii wheel, although I noticed occasionally the tricks are unresponsive if you don't shake it hard enough)
*16 new courses and 16 retro courses.
*You can play as your mii

I love the courses, they are very colorful with great music and range from piece of cake to challenging
There's a ton of items you can use to "attack" opponents with such as that horrible blue shell that attacks the racer in first place. It's also great from  more

Absolutely Phenomenal

This game is a nice step up from the GCN version. The playing is flawless and the fact you can play online against a ton of people at once is cool too! The maps are very smooth. The new wheel that comes with the game has worked perfectly and responds to your every move. This is worth the price, play it and see for yourself!

Great Family Game

I picked up this game on the 26th (yesterday) from my local game store and right away the entire family started playing. The game is very simple and not much different from the other Mario Karts of past except of course for the onlilne play which we haven't tried out as yet. There are a few characters to choose from, adult and baby alike and steering is pretty easy. You race against your chose characters and your Mii's are also included in the races. You just might see your Mii pass you by. We did it without the wheel (since we only had 1) and was surprised at how easy it was. The graphics are also pretty good. You go forward by using the 1 and 2 button to go forward or reverse and B to use your special. All in all a very good game and it was well worth the wait.

Not worth it...

I have to say I was seriously dissapointed in this game. The graphics are horrible, the kart control is the worst of any kart game I have played, and because of that you are unable to win races which enable you to gain new tracks and new karts. I was hoping for much more out of this game and I will probably sell it to the local game shop in my town and get something better.

Buy Something Else

My kids (14/9/8) received this game for our Wii at Christmas. They had a very difficult time learning how to play so they did not want to play it. I sat down with them and we picked up the hang of the game. It was very difficult for me to play because of the way the game is set up. We played on a large flat screen TV and in dual mode, I could hardly tell where I was supposed to drive. Most racing games have a map feature that tracks where you are on the track and lets you anticipate the turns. This game not only does not have this, it puts messaging across the screen disrupting your view. In addition, some of the darker areas were like driving in a tunnel and I could hardly see where I was going.

The M&M characters were cute but this is too hard for younger kids to master and poorly designed to call it a racing game. Strongly recommend a do not buy.

Fails the basic goal of racing games: SPEED.

Awful. The "racing" is REALLY slow- about 2 mph. The camera angles are the worst that I've seen since Dragon Ball Z Sagas. The controls are just horrific. And the irony of the aforementioned lack of speed is that one of the about 4 or 5 one-liners constantly repeated by the characters is, "APPROACHING SOUND BARRIER!!" Last time I checked, the sound barrier is 770 mph- not 2 mph. Overall, this game is just bad and I wouldn't even recommend it to my worst enemy.

A Real Disappointment

I knew this was a suspect product based on description and price but I did not think that it would be this bad. As a kart racer himself my son was very excited to get this game as a gift. Unfortunately, the game would not load properly on his brand new computer. The kart itself was controlled by the arrow keys and not the mouse. Finally there was very little to the game. Overall, the game was not worth the cost of the paper that was used to wrap it.

The best Mario Kart ever made!

I LOVE this game! I've played all the previous Mario Karts: Super NES, Nintendo 64, GameCube, etc. - the DS version is the best! It has all new tracks for each cup (Mushroom, Flower, Star, and Special) in 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc. But it also has 4 different cups made up entirely of the most fun tracks from the previous Mario Kart games. It has lots of characters and carts to choose from, the graphics are awesome, and the map on the bottom screen is great. If you have ever liked any of the Mario Kart games, definitely get this one! You will NOT be dissappointed!

Not impressed

It's difficult to control the cars, and the many obstacles in the path of the included "courses" become frustrating very quickly. My older son who enjoys other racing games tired of this one after a few plays.

Not reccommended.
