While I’ve enjoyed many video games through the course of my life, perhaps my favorite has been the new Mario Kart game for the Nintendo Wii. I can’t seem to put this game down and it’s been a year since I bought it.

I’m not joking when I say that my grandfather came over and played this game, and won his first race! It was on the easy level, but still, it goes to show just how easy it is to pick something up like this.

As far as the reasons for praising this game so much go, if you’ve ever played any Mario Kart game, you know how addicting and fun it can be. This game will remind you very much of any other Mario Kart game you’ve played, but the kicker is the technology.

Basically, you’re given a wheel to plug your remote into, which allows you to wirelessly steer your driver during every race. This is an extremely accurate wheel, and it genuinely turns exactly as you do as you’re turning the wheel.

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.

This allows you to race against up to 11 other racers from all around the world, playing against them and earning points as you win, or losing them as you lose. As you could imagine, the pace is fast and the competition is fierce. I’m also a big fan of the ranking system.

As far as the ranks are concerned, you’ll gain ranking points when you do well in a race, and you’ll lose them when you slack. The best part about it is the fact that it measures strength of competition, making it accurate and fair.

If you own a Wii, I’d seriously recommend checking this game out. I haven’t really put it down since I bought it.
