Mario Kart Wiihoo

Advantages: Fun to play, variety of courses and characters
Disadvantages: difficult to play at first

...Unlike most racing games this is really really fun and unique, mario kart allows you to select your character from a wide range, some that have to be won in races in one player mode, and even play as your mii! There is a massive selection of tracks to choose, ranging from easy, such as mario circuit to very difficult, rainbow road., meaning that there is a level of difficulty for everyone. You can either choose to play against your friends in multi-player mode, battle com in one player, or connect to the internet and race against hundreds of people around the world. In single player you have to race each track at 50, 100 and 150cc to complete the game, getting more difficult as you go on as your opponents become faster and the tracks get harder. With two different driving options, one using the nunchuk and the other just the wii remote...

Mario Kart

Advantages: Safe internet use, lots of courses, free wheel.
Disadvantages: Same courses as old games.

...Game Basics Mario Kart on the Wii is the greatest game out on the Wii as yet. It is a basic racing game where the aim is to come first. The game comes with a steering wheel which you simply just click your Wii Remote into before playing the game. Of course, you don't have to have the wheel to play, you can just use the Wii Remote by itself so if you only have one wheel but four Wii remotes, you can still play with four people. Characters The game features all the famous Mario characters including Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach & Toad to name but a few. There is also Baby Mario & Baby Peaches who are just the cutest. There are about twelve characters you can choose to be, each having three motorbikes and three cars to race in each. Multiplayer Options The multiplayer options for this game are fantastic. You can play...

Mario Kart wii

Advantages: music, wii wheel, online
Disadvantages: grand prix, cant fight on your own in battle mode

...Many hardcore Mario fans may have been worried by the addition of motorcycles and tricks to Mario Kart but they have done nothing but make this edition one of the best Mario Karts yet, It I still very similar to the Mario Karts we have known and loved over the years. Gran prix mode, which is meant to be the key part of Mario Kart, is the part of Mario kart that let me down the most, it's not that it's bad or anything, it's just that to get gold trophies in all four different levels you need to a lot of racing and it bores you aftera while. The best improvment to Mario Kart is the midair stunt system which can ear you a speed boost simply by flicking the wiimote. And when your on a motorbike you can flick your wiimote backwards to do a wheelie which earns you a slight speed bost when your gowing down a straight. however the problem...

Mario Kart Wii

Advantages: The tried and tested success story is updated for a next-gen console
Disadvantages: The single player is still so eclipsed by the multiplayer

...The mario-kart series has been around for a long time, appearing on every Nintendo console thinkable since the SNES- it's a game that consumers anticipate when a new Nintendo console arrives, probably only beaten by a new Super Mario or Legend of Zelda game. It's no matter of luck how it's got this far however, it has without doubt earned it's pole position ahead of other frantic racing games by quite some margin. There have been many imitators of the Mario Kart format; but none of them have the edge that this series does and that is why I would recommend this game over others in the genre. On face value Mario Kart is very cute, but do not let this decieve you. There is frantic action in every single race with a range of inventive weapons and differing driving styles. This is a multiplayer game at heart, and is built for you to...

Mario Kart Wheeeee!!!!

Advantages: Great online play, fun
Disadvantages: Powerups are better if you are towards the back of the race

...--Introduction-- The original Mario Kart first appeared on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) back in the early 1990's. Since then, Nintendos famous plumber and his gang have appeared on every Nintendo format and now its time for them to make their appearance on the Wii. For those of you new to the series, Mario Kart consists of racing over 32 tracks which are broken down into batches of 4, meaning there are 8 cups to win. These cups exist at 3 levels, namely 50cc (easy), 100cc (medium), 150cc (hard), for the first time in a Mario Kart game you are able to ride motorcycles adding a new dimension to the game. Also a first is the introduction of online play which really brings the game on. --Controls -- The game comes packaged with the Wii wheel which basically is a plastic shell in which the Wii remote sits. This...

MARIO KART WII!

Advantages: EVERYTHING
Disadvantages: NOTHING.

...of the top of my head. The graphic details of each and every track are well thought out and brilliantly expressed. Theyre fun, unique and interesting, also, within your wii mees, you can tick which are your favourites, your favourite wii mees will be in the mario kart racing tracks in places, for example on bill boards or engraved on statues etc! Now the characters, when you first start off you can play as several characters though with around eleven to unlock. You unlock these characters and bikes via completing courses, playing mario kart wfc many times and through time trials. The unlockable characters include; Rosalina, Toadette, Bowser Jr, Daisy, Funky Kong, Diddy Kong, Baby Daisy, Dry bones, Dry Bowser, Baby Luigi, and Birdo. (Please note these are not in order). You graded once completing a set of races, with a gold cup, silver...

My latest addiction - Mario Kart Wii

Advantages: fun, great single and multiplayer options, can play online against randoms or friends
Disadvantages: battle mode is rubbish, expensive

...This is a review about my latest addiction ? Mario Karts! The game is in simple terms a driving game where you can race in the different grand prix cups, against friends or random people online as well as a few other game options. I have never particularly enjoyed racing games on any games console as I am horrendous at them and lose all the time and in my frustration usually end up throwing the control at my opponents head and get banned from playing! We brought Mario Karts for the Wii as we were sold by the adverts where you have the whole family playing against each other using the Wii Wheels! We had also heard some friends saying how much they loved theirs and the next day had ordered the game on Amazon. The game includes all the well known Mario Characters and you unlock access to some of them as you improve on the game. You can...

Mario Kart Wiiiii

Advantages: Good, Old-School Game; Good To Play With Family
Disadvantages: Abit Boring By Yourself, Quite Easy To Win Races

...I believe this game is great for when you have friends around! I quite often have friends or family around, and every time without fail, I get the wii out and we have a great time playing on Mario Kart. It keeps the automatic thoughts of Mario (old school, but still fun) in your head, but you love playing on it! The graphics aren't great, but they're 3D, and the game's fun to play on! There are two controls you can use to control the kart; the wiimote and nunchuck, or the wiimote in the wheel adaptor. I personally prefer the wiimote and nunchuck, but some people prefer the wiimote in the wheel adapter because it i more realistic! If you have online play, it makes the game much better! You can play against people from around the world, and see it as more realistic because you are playing against real people! Overall, i...

Review of Mario Kart Wii (Wii)

A Worthy Carrier Of The Mario Kart Legacy

Advantages: Steering Wheel, 2 Player Online
Disadvantages: No Unique Player Items, No 2 Player Grand Prix

...Finally, Mario Kart comes to Wii and with it launches Nintendo's most well known character into the next generation of Mario Kart. With the advancement to the Wii console, the most obvious change is the fact that instead of a controller, the Wii Remote is now used inside a Steering Wheel to fully utilise the Wii's motion control and although this can take time to get used to, it really enhances your driving experience once you're used to it. On this new game, the usual layout is the same, 3 difficulty levels, with 8 grand prix's in each, upon finishing each grand prix with 1st position, a prize is usually awarded, either a new character, grand prix or kart. However, there is also a difference with the introduction of motorcycles 50cc: Karts Only 100cc: Bikes Only 150cc: Karts and Bikes Upon finishing one difficulty level...
