Despite single player having various faults the awesome online experience more than makes up for it.
User Rating: 9 | Mario Kart Wii (w/ Racing Wheel) WII
This addition to the mario kart phenomenon boasts a huge roster of characters and karts. Koopa makes a famous return and baby peach and other hidden characters make their debut on the raceway. Unlike on Super Smash Bros you are able to play competitively online. You are able to show off high ranks in online races and where you end up at the finish line determines whether your Race Rating will stoop or rise. Singer player is undoubtedly a dissapointment and unbearably frustrating. If you don't think you have a temper then this game will show you otherwise. Items are incredibly unbalanced: you could be hit at least twice by a blue shell on the last lap and the bullet bill can take characters on a free ride to 1st place. The ability to do a mid-air stunt brings something totally different to the mix. Additionally if you are tired of karts then bikes are a second choice. However reveal an obvious advantage to karts. The variety of karts and bikes will certainly make you think twice of the character you choose.
Mario Kart Wii is a great game, definetly one you should add to your pile. The great competetive online experience is worth the pain of single player mode.
