Ok, my first Review, but enough about me. I'll be reviewing Mario Kart Wii. This Review goes on a scale of one to ten, 1being just plain wrong and 10 being the best ever.
STORY: 1
No story, they're
just racing. Besides, since when do racing games need a story? Lameos,
that’s what!
FIRST IMPRESSION: 10/10
What’s that? If
a demo at a store gives a bad impression people won't "buy it" (literally).
I first played this at a local Gamestop. I had to use that horrible Wii
Wheel (more later) but I had fun nonetheless. I had just got my Wii so
this was my first Wii game. Overall I had a good first impression.
PLAY CONTROL
If you can't control the game you can't play it. Since you can play 4 ways each will get a section.
WII WHEEL: Oh dear. What to say? 1star. You over-steer too easily. That’s why real wheels in cars don’t float in the air. A piece of junk, it should come free. 1 star. It's so bad I had to rate it again.
REMOTE AND NUNCHUK: Umm... Better. Oh, so much better. I still don't like it. 5 stars.
-GCN/CLASSIC:
One of the best. No over-steering and no wanting to throw it out of a window,
unlike some of the latters. 10 stars.
GRAPHICS: 8
Some people hate
the visuals but they're ok to me. They are super glossy though.
CAST/KARTS: 10
The gang’s all
here, though we didn't need Baby Daisy or anything. As far as karts go
you have plenty to choose from. My favorite is the sugar-scoot (i think
that’s what it's called) Overall there's something for every one.
GAMEPLAY: 5
Things get fun,
in fact you're in first place, but then a Red Shell hits you. No problem.
But then a Blue Shell hits you and you are in third. Now a POW Block, then
Lightning, last a Bullet Bill knocks you (after you’re small from the Lightning)
off some cliff. Even if that doesn't happen CPUs start getting faster on
the last lap and closing in on you like crazy. 50cc feels too slow, yet
150cc just makes you sick. With human players things get better, but still…
FUN FACTOR!: 8
Once you're around
the hectic Grand Prix you start seeing a really fun game. The CPU cheating
was the two points taken off of the perfect 10.
MUSIC: 7
A mixed bag. Some
hate it but it isn't bad, just a distraction. On some stages it's good,
on others, it’s what I said earlier.
MULTIPLAYER: NA
This game is best
played this way (in theory). Wi-Fi is cool but I haven't trid that yet
so I cant comment on that. I normally play alone so I can't rate this fairly.
As far as battle mode goes it's fun and can be played single player, but
it's too easy to let your teammates do all the work and just as easy to
lose even though you might be winning.
COURSES: 10
I love the new
ones and the selection of old ones. One complaint, some retro tracks that
might have been in the Flower Cup were moved to the Star Cup, throwing
balance off, and the new Rainbow Road might be the hardest version of the
course in all the Mario Karts I've ever played- and thus near impossible
with the Wii Wheel. Anyway, there's a course for everyone.
OVERALL: 8
All right, the
part we've all been waiting for. I give it 8 out of 10 stars. As long as
you aren't using a Wii Wheel you're going to have fun.
RECOMMENDED TO:
Think hard about
this one if you get mad at games easily. If not or even if so I would still
recommend this to anyone. It's one of the best Mario Karts I've played
and, AI freakiness aside, is a near perfect racing game for the Wii.
REVIEW AT A GLANCE
Pros:
- Plenty of everything
(characters, courses, etc.)
- Snaking’s gone
^_^
- Wifi
- Good multiplayer
- Free wheel
worth $15
Cons:
- Very questionable
AI
- Wii Wheel is
really a gimmick
- Course difficulty
questionable
That's it. It was hard thinking of too many bad things, so get Mario Kart Wii NOW!!! Thank you for reading!
