    Mario Kart Wii review

    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 GAME

    Once i got Mario Kart Wii and started playing it with the wheel. I thought that this isn't that bad than I thought it would be. The steering with the karts is nice and smooth and pulls you in right away.

    This game has wide tracks what I didn't like. You have enough room on the tracks as it was in double dash. If you fall off then you fall off. I eventually saw that you go slower on the tracks than back in the previous games, which I didn't like. They were going for a more casual play witch I thought it was fine speed and the tracks where wide enough in the last game. Mario kart wii I mean come on think of a better name at the end than just wii. WHAT HAPPEND!

    Now the good news. Mario kart wiis new tracks are awesome they have a lot of thought put into them and are very creative. All of the tracks are fun to play. As I said earlier this games steering with the wii wheel is very fun to play with and it doesn't have a delay. The bikes in this game worked out pretty well it fells great on the wii wheel and I think it was a good addition. The tricks in this game worked out great also you want to keep doing them because they give you a reasonable boost.

    Now I was thinking earlier when the game wasn't out yet that I don't know about the online. I thought that super smash bros. brawls online were a little laggy on mine so I didn't know about Mario kart. When I got to play this multie player I was amazed. No lag at all the game ran so smooth it pulled you in right away. I like the thought that you can play with random people around the world not just your friends. I thought that is was great to see were all the people that you are playing with are from. I thought that the ranking system in this game worked out very well. I was exited and it was more fun when we had a 12 player online. I think this online on Mario Kart Wii was a huge success. I think Mario kart wii is a great game to add onto the series.

      Baby steps 0

      As a guy who has played almost every Mario Kart game in existence (the GBA's Super Circuit and the Arcade GP being the exceptions), I always go into a new Mario Kart game with some level of reserved expectation. I always feel like there is plenty of potential with a game like Mario Kart, but the series' history of playing it safe has taught me to not hope for too much. And for the most part, this is once again the case with Mario Kart Wii.That's not to say I didn't like Mario Kart Wii. In fact, ...
