I loved Mario Kart for N64, but this is so much better because you could pretty much guarantee victory over the computer with the N64 game (once you became proficient at it), but this one is a legitimate challenge, with lots of different paths. Having to actually steer a wheel and avoid actual power-ups from the computer players (not just banana peels, as in the N64 game) makes this a ton of fun. from Amazon.com I played this game at my friends house, and it was fun for a while. As you play you unlock carts and characters. from Amazon.com The wheel is a great invention and nintendo wii is such a nice platform that the game is so much fun. I have played only a few games -bowling, tennis, boxing on the wii and I had a opinion that the wii had limitations in the racing world. Arrive mario cart and this changed everything. With the multiplayer mode (oh, I wish I had a bigger screen), mario cart is one awesome gift for a friend or for yourself. from Amazon.com Though, in this game the computer tends to gives you them more often, which can become frustrating when you are hit by the blue shell two, three, or four times in a single race! I don't know how many times someone has knocked me out of a leading position at the very end of a race, only to end up around last place, losing many points in the process. This can be very frustrating for more advanced players who want to get ahead in points, but can't because of the considerable luck factor when it comes to winning, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. With the other Mario Karts you needed far more skill than luck, but in this one it can be almost equal. from Amazon.com I haven't been crazy about the Wii Wheel so far. My friends and I played Mario Kart on the other systems incessantly, but we just can't seem to get hooked on this game with the Wii wheel. The turning is very often wide. from Amazon.com This is my second mario kart owning. Had my first one on the legendary n64. from Amazon.com That is, until last week. I went over to a friend's house, we were hanging around and she pulled out her old N64, and we played Mario Kart on it. I loved it. from Amazon.com I wanted a game that was appropriate for my son's age - not too much violence and not too difficult for him to play. I also wanted something that he would enjoy, but wouldn't be so young that I couldn't have fun with it as well. from Amazon.com Forget the TV just turn on your Wii! Great fun, first thing everyone wants to do when they call...drive with Mario! from Amazon.com I must admit that I am not one for racing games or Mario for that matter, but Mario Kart Wii is incredible fun! It is even better with a wheel. from Amazon.com
