^ Correct again.

Where are these amazing reviews? Of course it will get good reviews, because Mario Kart standards don't really slip. But they don't take originality into account. from Eurogmer, who gave the 'easy-to-give' 8/10. 'Well - mostly. Mario Kart Wii is very similar to its immediate predecessor, Mario Kart DS, considered by most to be the strongest Mario Kart since N64 days at least. But it has made a couple of controversial additions to the fifteen-year-old formula: stunts and motorbikes. ' amazing additions.

I think everyone will agree that the game will probably be fun, but there are better games around and there isn't enough change. Telling from the reviews and previews the new courses aren't good so what chance does the game have of being worthy of purchase? 'But you can play with 4 more people on retro tracks?' Give me a break. Some series can get away with a bit of repetition, but this one can't and is taking the piss.

^^^^ Im glad you said all that for me because I had almost given up hope. I don't see how Mario and Metroid games have changed little during the series when much more has changed compared to kart. Daz, My arguments aren't stupid, but you can keep making them seem it by saying they are however much you like. And I didnt like the look of baby park and didnt think it was that good. When I saw the DD courses they looked quality and were quality, yet, when I look at the new ones they have nothing that interesting and contain little detail. Previews confirm this.

But Mario Kart needs more change. Mario, Zelda and Brawl are still great and they have added features, whereas Kart has gimmicks. Playing real people doesnt negate the simplicity of the courses. I don't want to be driving down a huge straight against good oppostition and being left open. Ever played Baby Park on vs mode? It goes down to luck. Wait until the right moment on the straight and red shell/blue shell them. We've had Mario Karts which can do practically everything this can. Riding bikes isnt revolutionary, but adding final smashes and having multiple game modes (fleshed out adventure) in brawl keeps it refreshing. Plus there has only been 3 smash bros games. Mario did well because huge mechanics such as flood and gravity became parts of his games. There have only been 3 3D zeldas and so it is still new as well as having better graphics in TP along with different story, both of which kart doesnt/can't have. Kart needs a change and the 'but kart shouldnt have a story' isnt good enough. It should at least have something.

The game doesn't interest me but something you just said does: Crazy Taxi! I had the original on PS2 and loved it, if they brought it out on Wii that would be special.

Highlighted points I don't agree with, but I guess the motion controls and 12 players is quite good. HOWEVER be bikes: what does that add? what makes that a defining feature? new courses: obviously there are going to be new courses, but my point is is that they've watered the difficulty down and added straights to make them easier, which is pathetic retro courses: this can't be considered new. one, because they are retro and two, this was done on DS online features: they've missed a trick with online modes and offline modes. The things that you think would be standard for play aren't. Not acceptable.

He just laps it up when people are falling through the air as well, use the quick attack to deal an easy 12 damage. His reflector is the best one too because it's like a counter as well.

Ok that sounded trivial, I don't really know how to say what I'm thinking. Have fun playing the game thats the same as all the others though.

How awesome is Wolf? Im rating his move-set and differences.

I didn't say I'd like it exactly the same, my point being that there will be too much variation between bikes and karts, meaning people wont be able to play as the kart they like the look of because its crap. The only good thing about the game is that Boo is playable.

^ We don't, we expect value for money and MK Wii isnt an example of this. Ok there are many games like this but it still aplies. They have killed the game. Bikes and Karts make the game too variable and it should be fair for all competitors. Tracks have been watered down. I don't want 12 karters I want good, solid courses.

Yeah, and thats great and what makes MK awesome, but seeing as theyve killed this installment by making it for a broader market they couldve added a story mode like in Diddy or CTR, because those modes were good. 'You haven't played it' Well tbh I don't think I need to, the previews say it all for me. Everything that shouldnt happen to MK just did.

^ Was it you're Dad by any chance?

If they didn't rush it they probably could have done a Story mode like in Diddy Kong racing and CTR. That probably would of been enough. I'm not actually getting the pangs, it looks decidedly crap. None of the new tracks and features I've seen are any good. Simply nothing going for it. Why did they have to make the circuits easier when they were easy in DD? Nintendo aren't gonna make the MK games harder/more skillful now they have the non-gamer market in the pocket. End of MK series as we see it. I know I'd enjoy it a bit but I'll play it round someone elses. Unworthyness is rife on Wii

Well it will probably come tomorrow and so good luck to you sir. Strong contester for my favourite game ever.

If a freaky woman asked me if I wanted to order Wii fit and told me that she played Brawl before me then I'd need to see a shrink.

I ordered Umbrella Chronicles from Game online 2 weeks before xmas, never came and so we got a refund. They said they lost the game or something. Send the people an email.

Nah it isnt a boss, it is just an enemy that dwells in lava and jumps up, looks like a Snake. God-damn the name, THE NAAAAME!!!!

Nah thats not what I mean. He's not in that list, but I'm pretty sure he's in the new super mario bros. Im kicking myself.

Oh yeah, could be a Luma, the fat one lol. But what is the fire snake thing called?

Yeah, it can't really be anyone else, because Mole would hardly count as a special character. I'd of liked the fire-snake thingy from the mario bros to be in it. What a legend.

Its in your profile dude Oh yeah, are the challenges specified all of the one's in the game, or are there completely secret ones? And can someone give me the full list of metroid music without spoiling the other music please?

So do you know what it is then? And Shadow Im adding your Wii code.
