The editors didn't like

  • Online interface is unintuitive
  • Cumbersome in spots
  • A.I. is infuriating in latter races
  • No co-op Grand Prix mode means lonely nights of unlocking content
  • Tricks are limited
  • $10 to $15 for extra wheels? Its nothing but plastic!
  • Some disappointing unlockables
  • A few bland tracks
  • The "chance" element can frustrate
  • Wii Wheel is only okay.
  • The cheap AI is still there
  • Retro tracks feel boring compared to new ones
  • Nostalgia doesnt save most of the classic courses from being boring
  • Items are more unbalanced than ever
  • Especially on new tracks
  • Battle modes are now exclusively teambased and timed.
  • No more freeforall balloon battles
  • Local multiplayer noticeably reduces frame rate
  • Wii Wheel is not as intuitive as you’d hope
  • Brings very little that is new to the franchise
  • Dumbed-down gameplay unfriendly towards series vets
  • No real-time chat in online mode
  • Graphics barely a smidgen improved over Double Dash!!

  • Abstract:  Take my advice: Savor the opening minute of Mario Kart VR before your race starts, because it's the only time you'll get to properly soak in the Mushroom Kingdom in all of its virtual glory. Twist your head around to see Peach or Luigi staring back at you...

  • Abstract:  The classic kart racer is back, and it's as good as ever! Maybe it's even better than ever. The addition of the motion controls and the online functionality are absolute boons to a series that already completely rocked. Moreover, the inclusion of great re...

  • I’m really enjoying playing Mario Kart on the Wii both against the AI and split screen with my friends. Playing on line has been pretty laggy and all the good players already know every shortcut and the best vehicles to use so winning online is pretty...

  • Konclusion I actually wasnt sure I could write this review without using the phrase "cluster f***," but with much care I worked through it. The same old routine of being slapped around by the computer is in full force here, and with the added players ...

  • If you have a Wii and like Mario Kart, Im not even sure why youre still reading. Go out and get this game. It can be a ton of fun alone or can even make a great party game. Even in 4 player mode the action doesnt slow down at all. You and a friend ...

  • Abstract:  Mario Kart Wii is a hard game to score for me because my son and I have been enjoying it a lot, so I want to give it a 9 or 9.5 out of 10, but because of the lacking multiplayer options and not as polished graphics as other current systems on the mark...

  • Mario Kart Wii may have a couple of new additions that try to spice things up, but it’s pretty much the same Mario Kart that you have been playing all along. The tracks have been widened to accommodate a maximum of 12 racers at a time and the introd...

  • Abstract:  One of my all-time favorite games is Mario Kart 64 for the Nintendo 64. It and Golden Eye 007 were played endlessly during my college years thanks to the 4-player action. The series hit a roadblock with the somewhat lackluster Game Boy Advance release,...

  • The most seamless, robust Wii online experience yet; Classic courses from past Mario Karts; comes packaged with Wii Wheel; Mii support.
  • Dumbed-down gameplay unfriendly towards series vets; no real-time chat in online mode; graphics barely a smidgen improved over Double Dash!!
  • Mario Kart Wii feels recycled and simplified from past installments, but its saved by a handful of creative and nostalgaic courses and its excellent 12-player online matches.
