This is an addictive game. I loved the Mario Kart games for N64 and the Gameboy DS, so I was eager to play this one. I like that I can steer by turning the wiimote. I have no use for the wheel, personally. It's just to make it feel more like driving. I just hold my wiimote sideways kind of like handlebars. There is also an option to connect a nunchuck and use controls similar to the N64. This game is a little bit pricey, but you can pick up a used copy for a decent price. This is a game that will not be sitting idle on your shelf for very long. I highly recommend this for anyone who enjoyed the other games in the Mario Kart series.

Love this game!! at frist i thought it was a little much to pay for a game but my sister really wanted it so i bought it last winter and we are still playing it and still just as fun!! I think if you can get over the price shock of paying $60 for a video game its a great game to have!!

Got this in January and have played it 3-4 times per week since then (if not more) my 2 year old loves watching it, and I enjoy indulging him (though maybe I shouldn't as much). The courses are challenging, and it is great unlocking different things. I've enjoyed going online with it and racing with people from around the world. Highly recommend it!!!

Mario Kart Wii is the BEST game ever! SO fun to sit down with a group of friends and have a tournament. I definately recommend this game! It comes with 1 wheel, so you will have to purchase another but it is totally worth it!
