Yes that's right, another Mario Kart, but you all love it and it has online play, so I don't want any complaints about it being the same as the rest'!

This is one of the best pick up and play' and multiplayer games available on the Wii at this moment in time. Turn it on, boot it up, and choose a mode and character, Bam! You're away! No fuss!

Well, you have to race obviously, which can get pretty challenging as the game progresses and more modes are unlocked! The tracks are incredibly inventive, and very imaginative, taking different parts of the mushroom kingdom and selected previous tracks available in the other games in the series. The revolutionary steering controls work best with the Wii Wheel' that comes with the game, clicking the Wii remote in and using as a steering wheel (surprisingly!).

There is so much to unlock, from new cars and tracks to new characters (Including the Mii's eventually! But you have to work darn hard to unlock everything; races and computer controlled cars can get very tricky! The tracks can get pretty hectic and races can get pretty tight with up to 12 players on the road and so many items of mass destruction flying about! Sometimes its more a game of chance and luck than a game of skill; you could be 1st one minute, then a blue shell can knock you down to 12th just before you reach the finish line!

Overall, this game is extremely good (especially with some friends), easy to pick up and play, yet has an incredibly large amount of game play, replay-ability and unlockables that will keep you coming back for more and taking you to the limit!
