IGN UK- Mario Kart Wii reviewed

Overall 8.9

IGN UK Ratings for Mario Kart Wii (Wii) RatingDescriptionout of 10click here for ratings guide9.0Presentation
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

A great score for a great game, but 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.JLF1

well,, there are some tracks from the n64 game... come on man.. that's a lame excuse.. it's a great game.

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

:cry: i hate living in england.

Good stuff :) Shame i have no money to buy it :(edd678

whats the point in 8.9, might aswell give it a 9.0, its only 0.1 awayArjdagr8

whats the point of 99%, might as well give it a 100%, its only 1% away despite the fact that its not perfect.

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.

Same here, Just got Pro Evo Wii so I doubt my dad will let me buy it :(

Same here as well, I'm getting a Dreamcast instead off a friend for cheap so that makes me happy = )
