Mario Kart Wii! - 9/10

Hey guys this is my first review so please be kind.

Introduction
Mario kart started on the Snes then moved onto the nintendo64 and then gamecube and then ds Now it has been Revamped onto the wii and is better than Ever!!!

Graphics 9/10
The graphics on this game blew me away they are so beautiful!!! they run at a smooth frame rate and have smooth texture. there are a few problems (like any games) such as when you play two player multi player online it seems to lag abit but other that that it is Perfect this is surely one of the more prettier titles on the wii

Controls 9/10

There are so many different options, all special and unique in there own way.


Firstly, the amazing Wii Wheel that is packaged with Mario kart wii works surprisingly well.
It isn't hard to turn corners, and all the buttons are in easy reach.
Now,the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. They fit comfortably in your hand, and also work quite well and in my opinion make it easier to play and deploy weapons
So, the Gamecube Controller. It makes you feel like your playing the 10 times better version of Mario Kart: Double Dash. I guess alot of you would be used to the Gamecube Controller too.

Wi-Fi 10/10
The online on this game is awesome up to 12 people you've exchanged friendcodes with or 12 random strangers from your country and around the world with little or no lag

Gameplay 8/10

This game is a racing game therefore the gameplay consists of racing and lots of it, it becomes a bit repedative But you learn to get over it seeing as it has SO MUCH depth into it
