Overall 8.9

IGN UK Ratings for Mario Kart Wii (Wii) RatingDescriptionSee Our Glorious Home Theater Setup!out of 10click here for ratings guideGet Ratings Information9.0Presentation
It's comprehesive, beautifully presented and probably Nintendo's greatest online achievement to date. Brilliant stuff.8.5Graphics
Cartoon stylings are deceptive - there's a lot to love here, including 60 FPS, huge draw distances and plenty of on-screen furniture. Frame rates and quality take a hit in split-screen, sadly.7.5Sound
Plenty of the usual toots and whistles complement some servicable but ultimately forgettable tunes.8.5Gameplay
A return to form in terms of arcade purity and all the better for it. Plus, new additions and refinements make for a fairer, more compulsive experience.9.0Lasting Appeal
Despite a bodged offline Battle mode, it's still a greaty party game and online racing, plus competitions, mean there's a ton of mileage here.8.9
GreatOVERALL

pretty excited for this.. I really think any one is even if they arn't a fan of Nintendo.. Because I am quite sure just about every one played and enjoyed the Mario Kart series even way back at the original.. It was a great series and actually could be pretty compettive amongst friends.

A great score for a great game, bit I won't buy this game because I already have Mario Kart 64 and that is the only game in the franchise I have enjoyed. It's still a kickass franchise but I've had problems getting in in the new games.

It's OK though because there are tons of other games released here before the UK gets it.

Just a reminder to everyone: IGN UK is usually above the average score.

Expect a 8.5 from IGN US and a 7.5-8 from Gamespot.

Great graphics?? The graphics are identical to Double dash on Gamecube. I wonder why the Wii is held to a different standard than everyone else this gen. Including online play.
