The new Mario Kart game is both challenging and entertaining for all ages. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
It becomes maddeningly impossible to progress through higher levels unless you have the patience of a saint to play the same course over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over. This game is great the first 3 weeks or so. However, as you progress through the levels, the "artificial cheats" that the Wii uses to knock you off course and impede your progress really kill any fun in the game after a while. Time to sell it. That being said, I believe it is the best game I own for the Wii (not that I own that many), but it is quite a fun game until you get to the breaking point.
This game is a lot of fun to play on your own or with multiple players. I purchased it a few months ago and I really enjoy both the controller style of the Wii Wheel and the actual game play. The courses are fun and challenging, and the scoring system of medals is motivating to improve your score. It's fun to unlock new courses, players and carts, and also to see which character you can use to get the best time on a course.
We LOVED this game. So, I am not a hard core gamer. The sound and landscape and responsiveness of the wheel are awesome. I used to own a Nintendo NES, and we have a PS3, but I must admit it's for Blu-Ray use. The Wii provides a sufficient amount of challenge without a discouraging complexity for us "nomn-gamers". We laughed and played several times. A great time, for all ages with different levels and challenges, but easy enough to have a good time.
This is a great game if you want to just sit back and play a video game. Several courses have been ported from the older versions (DS, SNES, N64) into this version. The graphics are great. If you have played the previous Mario Karts, the gameplay is identical. Playing with the Wii wheel may look dorky, but it actually feels normal once you get used to it. Online play is great.
