Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Fun for the family
As several people have already stated, this game is fun in a multi player race. If you play it by yourself you will get so angry you are liable to throw the wheel at your tv screen. The flying shells that blow you up right before the finish live, getting knocked off track from behind, actions like these get old really quickly, espeically when you are trying to unlock new courses. Overall, alot of fun to play with your partner or the kids, just don't play it alone!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Flawed but the best Mario Kart so far
As many have said, great game but the random nature of the 150cc races is really demoralising. Then again it does add to the lifespan because it is a lot harder to get gold on all the cups than in previous games. Hopefully with the next game they'll get rid of the blue shells and all the bloody lightning strikes that happen every single race. Great game though.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Want to buy an AMAZING game?
Well finally it's here! Mario Kart Wii! Is fun for everybody and there is a Wi-Fi connection so you can play with friends or against the world! Even though I'm Dianes' son she still thinks its' great aswell! Now buy the game, and happy racing!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great fun
As a general summary of many of these extensive reviews, Mario Kart is a fun game for anyone of any age! Fairly easy to get through each track and win trophies, was just as do-able by 9 year old cousin, though not to same level of expertise! The online gameplay continues the fun when you've mastered all of the tracks yourself too.

Great game to play alone or with friends and family, some tracks from the old consoles too which are fun to see!

Definitely worthwhile to buy! ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wii are Having Fun Racing!
After playing this game on my friend's Wii, I went out and bought a Wii and this game. That's how much I enjoyed it.

I have the original Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo. The basic game play is pretty much the same. You are controlling one of the characters from the Mario universe as you attempt to race around tracks and win. Along the way, you can pick up power ups to help you or hinder your opponents. Of course, that means they can attack you as well, so watch out.
