    Mario Kart seems to have lost a bit of the magic it had 0

    Mario Kart Wii is the sixth game in the legendary Mario Kart series so how does it compare to the others.Well the Grand Prix mode is now up to 12 racers instead of 8 and the game for the first time features bikes but it seems as though it has lost its fun factor in Grand Prix Mode. There are 32 tracks 16 old and 16 new and some are actually quiet boring to race on and some require more luck than skill if you are to get first epsically in 150cc. The bikes get rammed by the karts and if you are on...

    Mario Kart Wii review 0

    At first this whole deal with Mario cart wii and its motion wheel wasn't going to work out that well also with the motorbikes. How is this going to work if you wouldn't really have a steering wheel on your motorbike! I did not think this was going to work out well. I am expecting in this game for it to have some good quality tracks that attract you to want to keep on playing them I would never figure out until i play Mario Kart wii.AFTER I GOT THE GAMEOnce i got Mario Kart Wii and started playin...

    Mario Kart Wii doesn't really send the franchise in any direction 0

         I think it's safe to say that as long as Nintendo is making new systems and hand helds it will be making new Mario Kart games. Whether or not these newer games will change in any noticable way is a whole nother story. As is late its also probably safe to say they won't. Mario Kart Wii for Niontendo's new motion control system is another one of your standard run of the mill Mario Kart games. It has you compeiting against eleven other racer, four more than previous installments, in several di...

    Mario kart wii the ups and downs 0

    Since the dawn of time Mario has been exploited and forced into every title possible and has now been used in over 100 Mario games... WTF I agree that some have been amazing like super smash bros and Mario 64 which have been impressive on all consoles they have been put on, but when a game is released called Mario paint you begin to wonder who is thinking these games up. Soon there will be a Mario gardening or even Mario catches a bus game. another concept is that once Mario has found something ...

    its over 0

    Look we need to talk. Things arnt like they used to be. theyre not nearly as magical as it used to be. Youve become bland dry and distatsteful. Those very same things i loved about you are no longer true. maybe its not you. Maybe its me. Your single player is bland and well dumb.  why does it seem as soon as i take first place you always seems to have an array of blue turtle shells and everything else all aimed at me but when I'm falling behind I always have the golden mushroom or the bulltet bi...

    That's the Mario Kart we know and love 0

      Last year, Nintendo shook the industry, especially Nintendo fanboys about a new installment to the predecessor in the Mario Kart franchise. This was then known as one of the most highly anticipated Nintendo Wii games in the gaming universe, and Mario won't disappoint.The game doesn't come along as it comes with a new peripheral specifically designed for any racing, the Wii Wheel. In two words, it's a plastic home. But it does a nice job of holding the Wii remote and making gameplay more fun. ...

    Mario Kart Wii : played safe, but still a laugh 0

    Mario Kart may be described as the ultimate multiplayer game. It’s hectic, unfair and damn right fun races all add up to make a perfect multiplayer experience. But there is one game that takes up all of Mario Karts multiplayer lime-light, which is Super Smash Bros. And it is fair to say that Super Smash Bros Brawl has taken all of Mario Kart’s glory. So much so, that it seems that Mario Kart Wii has come out of no where. Well, we wont be seeing Brawl for two months now, so it’s time for Mario K...

    Probably the best Mario Kart since 64, but still with flaws. 0

    Well Mario Kart Wii is a new Mario Kart game. It is a Mario Kart game at it's roots, but made for the Wii.

    Mario Kart is simple fun. 0

    Mario Kart Wii Review.posted: 05/29/2008 Mario Kart WiiPLATFORM (Wii)PUBLISHER (Nintendo)PRICE $50ESRB RATING (E for Everyone)PLAYERS (1-4, 12 online)It is a true tribute to the fun of the Mario Kart series that I managed to unlock half of the extra tracks included in Mario Kart Wii while immersed in marathon sessions of Grand Theft Auto IV. Both games offer up intense racing fun, but I doubt that anyone would disagree with me when I say that GTA IV eclipses Mario Kart when it comes to dep...

    Mario kart fans rejoice 0

    Mario Kart is a game made as a graceful alternative to those that can't handle or don't want to handle the real simulation driving genre. In this sense Mario Kart does just that and gives us fun game play with a few new features along with the basic formula fans have loved for years. Mario Kart allows a multitude of game play options as you can use, classic controller, gamecube controller, wii remote, wii remote with nun chuck, or the wii wheel. The newly introduced wii wheel is a plastic shell...

    Astonishing... 0

    Mario Kart Wii is one of those games that offer both lighthearted fun for casual play, as well as some gaming depth for a more serious type of player. The game has improved vastly over its Gamecube predecesor, gathering more elements from the DS version than the GC format. Yet, this is a pretty good thing since it is a sort of "back to basics" for the franchise, however adds some elements to keep it fresh.The game has no story or background, however, most racing games don´t have one either so th...
