i bought Mario Kart Wii, a couple weeks back and i have really been enjoying the game. Just one thing, is it just me or are the graphics terrible? i personally thought Double Dash's graphics were probably the same. Nothing against the game, i still think its a great game, I'm also wondering, I've got a 37 inch HDTV, I'm wondering if this is part of the problem as I'm simply playing with the regular leads which come with the console. Any help on that park would be great.

I think the graphics are great, just from the video's i've seen. Yes, you should buy component cables if you have a HDTV.

the graphics are terrible they are just slightly better than DD which was not that good looking to begin with. I wasnt epecting SMG visuals but I was expecting more than that. Oh well my dissappointment in that game as a whole is somewhote doused by the fact that online is so good. it would be nice if Nintendo released a game that was good as SSBB offline and as detailed as MKW online.

Whether they polish the graphics or not, people will buy into it just because it's a new Mariokart release and it's got online. Nintendo knows there fans are pretty loyal, not to mention stupid at times for buying their crap.

Yeah well that's the thing about Nintendo. They sacrifise graphics for awesome gameplay.

I'll be honest, I never liked Mariokart. I'm more of the sim racer type like Gran Turismo and Forza.

I'm definitely agreeing with you on this... the 3D models of the characters and some of the environments look pretty bad, but one just has too much fun playing Mario Kart to even realize it. The thing that bugs me is the fact that every single thing in the game is alive... like in DD, the trees, clouds, walls of ice, sun, etc all have eyes and look at you :lol::P

though the graphics arent amazing, the game runs so smoothly and sharp (with component cables) that you really don't notice the graphics, iv seen alot worse on the wii, and they are alot better than double dash's.

Too bad that's not Mario Kart. I don't see how anyone can get into it. The only appealing thing is them adding bikes, which means I'll play it once at somebody's house and forget about it after that.

the graphics of the game maybe not be impressive but they are very good.if you have a hdtv and component cables i believe that you will see it too.do not forget that there are 12 racers now,60 fps all the time,no lag at online and all the stages are bigger and look great.

I love how everyone says it's lag free. I'm sure...Just like Brawl right? Of course it's lag free before US release. Then once we get it we will crush those crappy servers.

or maybe that is not his/her type of game... I can not stand mario party, GH, any strategie game, and turn-based (clasic turn based) drive me crazy....

there will be ppl that do not like MK.... I think SSBB is ok... I own it.. but once MK is here.. bye bye SSBB... yea.. no much into fighting games either.. :lol: I tthink I end up with SSBB bc they added the SSE thingy... and the fight are good and all.. but... :P

gameplay over graphics anyday but Nintendo is held to a much higher standard esp with a series that sells so much. Their profits on this game must be amazing.

lol clearly I'm not saying it like it's not possible to not like it, but he WAS saying that in a way that means he doesn't like it... if you look at the second post he gave it's pretty obvious he hasn't played it.

quite obviously he's ASSUMING they can't be good servers

they are good servers
