Chapter 1 - Mario Kart Wii

The Mario Kart series has been my second favorite next to Smash Bros, and is my favorite racing series. Multiplayer has always been a blast, especially Double Dash! So how is Mario Kart this time? Gameplay- The Wiimote steering works nicely and is fun. It's pretty nice you get the Wii whell pretty much for free. Also this game is compatible with Gamecube and Classic controllers. The control scheme is also nice and simple. I'm glad snaking is out, I lost a lot of online matches because of it on MK DS. Graphics- I'm too happy about this. They are nice and colorful but could be much better! Some models have N64-ish polygons. Tracks- 32 as usual, most are pretty creative and fun. Most classic tracks I like are back so that's nice. Also there's 10 battle arenas, the most of any MK game! And most of them are pretty awesome! Multiplayer and Single player- Not much improved here but is as fun as usual. But online is the better way to go. Characters- Most characters from Double Dash are back. I'm not surprised with the full rouster. What dissapoints me is that most newcomers aren't that great or popular. I'm kind of thinking Nintendo should consider a Smash Bros type rouster but it would ruin MK's originality, this is Mario Kart. But at least we can use Miis that we can make look like characters like Pikachu or Kirby XD! Online- I've been waiting for an online game like this from Nintendo for years!!!! Hands down the best online game ever from Nintendo! The replay value for is even higher than Smash Bros online! 12 player races and battles are ****in awesome!!! There's absoultly NO lagging at all! And finding people can last just seconds! Also there's tournaments, and rankings! I only have one small complaint that for battle, we should have the option to have free for all besides teams. Scores- Gameplay-9.3, Graphics-8.5, Characters-8.7, Multi/single player-9.0, Online- 11, Tracks-9.5 FINAL-9.2/10 Conclusion- Online is pretty much the biggest thing for this game. Online is so good, I may play it even more than Smash Bros! If you don't have online on your Wii, you might not want to get this game. But multi and single player are still fun. Nintendo could and should have made this game better. There are so many awesome things that could have been added and might make this as good as Brawl. Hell, they should have delayed it so I can continue playing Brawl and Guitar Hero and also not have lower grades at school. They could have sold more during the summer, right now isn't a good time because of school finals coming up and GTA IV. This game wasn't revieled until last years E3 which was less than 10 months ago, so they didn't have much time to make this as good as it is. Also I wanted to say I like the menu look, and I'm p***ed that mission mode wasn't in, that made MK DS last for a while. But still even with all these complaoints, this is still the fun Mario Kart it's always been! BTW my friend codes is 5198-2812-3007. Thanks for reading!
