Mario Kart Wii Review
By NintendoGR

 


Mario Kart Wii, This is the latest Mario Kart game to be released On a Nintendo console. It comes package with a Wii Wheel which the wii remote fits nicely into, its basically a shell for the Wii remote like the Wii Zapper.

CONTROLS:


Okay, so there is 4 control methods for Mario Kart Wii. The Wiimote in the Wii Wheel, Gamecube Controller, Classic Controller and the WiiMote and Nunchuck.
I will be explaining the Wii Wheel controls :
2 is to accelerate, turning the wheel left and right is to turn, hold B to drift (if on manual setting), up on the d-pad is to fire/use you item forward and back vice versa.

Graphics:


The Graphics in Mario Kart Wii Are excellent, the look really smooth and colourful, They are not the same standard that Super Mario Galaxy had, but it easily gets the job done.

Sound:


Okay now for the sound, the character voices are great, the only problem I had was with Wario he sounds really weird and not how he normally sounds, the sound in the gameplay is really nice, a lot of tunes from old tracks like Snes Mario Circuit 3 And New Ones Like Maple Tree Way will certainly be stuck in your head for weeks to come. Overall the sound is brilliant.

Gameplay:


Alright now for gameplay, the gameplay in this game is top notch, as the series has pretty much been unchanged since its debut on the Super Nintendo you will be playing pretty much the same game, for the first time ever in the series bikes are involved.
Also light medium and heavy, both bikes and karts feel great and its really fun just to wheelie down the bridge on Dk Mountain. Snaking has been taken out now, as Mario kart DS Players will agree that the wifi in it has been destroyed by snakers winning almost every race, but thanks to Nintendo for MkWii They made it so you can powerslide every so often to get the handy boost from blue sparks to gold.

Modes:


The modes are all still there. Grand Prix is where you start with 50cc Then 100cc Then 150cc and then when you unlock it, Mirror Mode.
The battles are back but may disappoint, because now its point based, for example if you lose all 3 of your balloons you will still get 3 again.
Coin runners is new also where you collect coins while using
items to hit into other players to get there coins.
All of these modes can be played Online And Offline.

Wi-Fi:


Wifi for this game, now the wifi is absolutely amazing 12 human players world wide, that’s Insane !, you still need to use the friend codes ( not like that’s going to change) But its still okay. You Can either race world wide or continental Same with the battle mode, in a friend room you can chat to the people in the room ! No, sadly no voice chat but pre made phrases which are actually pretty cool. There is no lag at all while playing which is great.

 

Overall:


Okay So Mario Kart Wii Is A Really Good Addition to the Mario Kart Series, in my opinion the best yet, the AI Can Be really annoying at times but its easy to zoom back into 1st place. The graphics are great, the sound amazing so overall I give this game a 9.7 out of 10 !
