User Rating: 9 | Mario Kart Wii (w/ Racing Wheel) WII
Mario Kart wii is similar to other Mario Kart games on both the Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS however various new features have improved it in many ways. The first addition is that it is obviously on the wii which means cleaner, improved graphics which create a colourful, fun feel to the game. Also the wii's interactive function has been utilised well with the inclusion of the "wii wheel" which you may chose to use in order to control your vehicle by tilting it left or right. This feature is quick and easy to pick up but if you can't get along with the wheel there is also the option of simply using standard controls.

The game is great fun for all ages and to sit down and play with friends and family.
