It might have felt like a long time coming, but Mario Kart has finally made it onto the Wii! In, er... Mario Kart Wii.
If you've never played the game before, it's all about getting from A to B as quickly as possible. Just like any other racing game. Except... it's done in the crazy style of the Mario series. In fact, it's a bunch of crazy thrown into the crazy pot and stirred with the crazy stick. Racing as one of the characters from Mario's world, players can beat the brightly-coloured daylights out of each other with a bonanza of power-ups.
So, what's new? Well, aside from all the features of Mario Kart we've come to know and love (with, of course, a bunch of new tracks, characters, weapons and vehicles) we get online multiplayer. Up to 12 players get to compete together, all at once.
If, however, you want to keep it in your living room so you can race your Gran', Auntie Pete and Shirley the Butcher* without seven other people interrupting, you can do that as well, because four people will be able to compete locally.
If you're worried that the Wii Wheel will cancel out the experience you've gained from years of dedicated kart racing (enabling your Gran' to kick your bottom) fear not! Nintendo confirms that the following control methods will also be on offer, Wii Remote turned onto its side, Wii Remote and Nunchuk together, the Classic Controller and even the Nintendo GameCube controller.
Mario Kart Wii will also get a Wii channel of its very own. The 'Mario Kart Channel' will offer online rankings, friends' ghost data to download and compete against, chat rooms and spectating.

This is an excellent game that is enhanced through the ability to use the racing wheel. There are advantages in using the racing wheel, namely the semi-realistic nature of driving. However, it is far easier to use the control and progression through the levels can be made quickly. In the easier game modes it almost seems impossible to lose if you can keep the kart or bike on the track which makes it a great game for the kids. Harder game modes allow for interest tactics and equipment usage. So all in all, a great game for everyone.
Such an addictive game, and there are so many levels and courses so that it's not one of those games that gets boring the second time you play. It can be quite a challenging game too with all the tricks and boxes. The WiFi connection really enhances the game too, it makes it much more competitive and fun to race people from all parts of the world.
Love this game, not really a game freak however with Mario Karts, I couldn't stop playing this one. Levels are awesome, not too easy and my daughter loves it too. Great buy, must get this game if you have a WII. Just like the old Mario Carts on Nintendo however more fun with the steering wheel.
