Is the Racing that much different?
PROS:
There is a new way to drive. If you shake the steering wheel you can get a boost and if you are a motorcycle you can hold B and lift up to do a wheelie. I thought this was a great new addition to the Mario Kart series.
The Characters: There are a lot of new characters, which is the only reason why I continue to play this game. Not only are there a lot of characters to unlock but vehicles too. It makes the game have a good replay value.
The Internet: The internet connection is not that bad. It is probably the best I have seen out for the Wii.
The Steering wheel. It is actually really fun to use and it is accurate.
CONS:
For some reason, all the unlockable cars in any Mario Kart I have seen get worse. Why would someone want to unlock a car with poor handling? Since the steering wheel is involved it is crucial to have good handling.
I think nintendo also has to have better items. I mean the storm cloud? Half of the time it hurts you. I liked the idea in Double Dash where they had character specials. I thought that was really good because it made every character different.
When it came to more players in battling at first i thought it was a good idea. But i find it difficult to attack people with the steering wheel. The turning is my only complaint and in battle the levels involve a lot of turns. I think 16 players is way too much for a racing game. They should have it 8 players max in terms of Battle.
Other then that I think this game is the best out for the Wii. Despite my opinionated downfalls I think this is a must own for the Nintendo Wii. It is also a great game to have with friends. So I rate this game an 8.5.
I hope you found this review useful.
