also it is important to know about POW bloks because even if you dodge them and you are on the edje you will fall of. and in moonveiw highway look out for cars also you should look back when there is a star or a bullet bill . some times you will see a star moving this alerts you that there is a star behind you some times you will see it swerving this is showing you were the star is going. I look back very often you should do this to because lets say wario is very close behind you this means that he can get ahed but usaly you are way ahed

Also you should know exactly what the item does because with spinny shells it creates an explosion so you will not have a regular flip it is gona be a bigger. also even if it is a bob omb you should always slow down.

I think Mario Cart Wii is an awesome game. I have already beaten every thing and unlock every thing. I am also rank 3 stars and I have rebeaten the game about 6 times so far.

This is the first Mario Kart release I’ve played and I love it! It’s so addictive when playing with friends it kept us entertained well into the early hours.

Played today and i totally agree with the review.

We all know why its balanced the way it is, because weve all felt the joy of being in 12th place on the last lap and knowing “hang on, its not EFFING over yet!” But its absolutely true that once your in first place, you feel a sense of forboding, knowing you wont be there for long, rather than “YAY IM WINNING!”

Closest comparison i can think of is Team Fortress 2, and its (not so) random criticals, assuring that even when your in a fight you dont think you cant win, you keep firing on the off chance you Crit your way out of it, adding unpredictability and constant flux to matches. Although that game still relies alot on skill in various other areas to make up for it.

Mario Kart felt more like my job was turning corners and hoping for the best. That being said, i hate racing games and its the most fun ive had in recent days, and all of the stated problems just make it less stressful to play… you feel almost like losing is someone elses fault rather than your own.

The review pointed out things that needed to be pointed out, theres no point going “This game was amazing and one time it kissed my face!” thats not a review… Unless it actually did, then it is.

Haha, yes. Much agreed.

If you don’t want the sheer luck/skill ratio with Mario Kart, then don’t play Mario Kart. This isn’t the game for you, if you can’t handle the game being unfair to you.

I always thought the completely unfairness of the series was part of the fun and was intended.

Its Nintendo’s philosophy, like in Mario Sunshine/64 where they would kick you out of the level if you died, rubbing salt in the wounds

8/10 is still a high score, don’t forget Edge gave this 6/10. The overpowered weapons are a problem for serious gamers, which can render matches 50% skill and 50% luck. Combined with the simplified turbos it makes it harder for good players to outshine the opposition, and while I agree with this to some extent it should be 80-90% skill. Nintendo still have to improve in this area as the bullet shouldn’t move you up 10 places. Also some of the retro track choices are a surprise – such as including 2 similar DK jungle ones at the expense of so many others.

For me these issues knock a point off, but I love everything else about it, including the stunts and bikes. The online play is really something and Nintendo have done a great job on that front. It has only been one weekend but already it’s the most fun I’ve had with a game this generation. 9/10

Wow, this review is really off, one of the funnest games to come out in a while and it gets this. You reviewers are so jaded that a good game could smack you in the face and you wouldn’t notice.

Im reckoning a 9/10 for this one, but im still disapointed about the fact theres no Wario Stadium 64, Koopa Troopa Beach 64, and also the legendary Banshee Boardwalk or Tick Tock Clock
