We (pun intended) camped outside our local Gamecrazy last Sunday anxiously awaiting the release of our all time favorite racing game, Mario Kart, for the Wii.

From the early 90′s on the SNES, through N64, Gamecube and now Wii – Mario Kart has been the definitive family fun racing game yet to be rivaled on any platform. Nintendo yet again delivered the goods with the new Wii version, which includes tons of new tracks (and some of the older tracks from previous platforms!), tons of new Karts (including motorbikes and rockets) AND the Wii wheel for wirless steering. The wheel isn’t just a gimmick either, it transforms the Wiimote into a fully fledged steering wheel and man does it work well! Its ultra intuitive and ridiculous fun.

You can take it online and race against friends or random people online, you can play locally on WiFi or you can just play on your own and unlock funky new stuff. The game caters to everyone. Best of all the wheel attachment is included in the price of the game! (additional wheels attachment are $10.99)

Go and buy this game. you will not regret it, every Wii owner should have this game. An easy 9.9/10
