I’m in love with Mario Kart Wii. There, I said it. This game has gotten the best of me, and I’ve been addicted to it for well over a year now. It’s crazy to admit the truth, but I don’t see myself letting up on this game any time soon either.

If I told you that just about anyone could play this game and pick it up quickly, I wouldn’t be lying. I have a five year old cousin who was able to win a race in the novice mode her first time trying.

I love this video game for so many different reasons. Dating back to the original Mario Kart release in the early 90s, this game stays true to its original form and gives us so many of the elements we’ve grown to love. At the same time, it really masters its integration with the capabilities of the Wii.

The best part about this game is the Wii wheel. It’s a wireless add-on that allows you to use your regular Wii remote to guide the car, just as you would with a typical steering wheel. You wouldn’t believe how well it works.

As far as the levels on the game, they’re all very challenging and a lot of fun. One of the best things to take advantage of in Mario Kart Wii is the online mode, which happens to be my personal favorite way to play the game.

In online mode, you’re able to join races of anywhere from 2 to 11 cars. The best part about it is that it’s all live, and your opponents are other owners of the game. It’s a really enjoyable challenge, and I’m seriously addicted to it. There’s also a point structure that rewards you when you win.

The ranking system is great in the sense that it really lets you know how good you are compared to other people out there. This feeds right into my competitive spirit and makes things a lot of fun.

This is the best game I’ve ever bought for my Nintendo Wii, and possibly one of the best video games I’ve ever played.
