Time for another review my IB122, this game is on Mario Kart Wii, this is the 6th game in the whole Mario Kart Series that was released in 2008 for the Nintendo Wii, and this game can include a wireless steering wheel. This game has become the 2nd most popular Wii game (only behind Wii Sports) but it's the most popular non-bundle game in the whole console run which to my mind is a huge accomplishment for this one game that Nintendo has made for this console, also prior to this game being released, the Nintendo Wii wasn't getting a lot of customers if you compared it to the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, so Nintendo had to catch up with the competition so they wanted to make another Mario Kart game with a new feature to include a wireless steering wheel for the Wii remote, so that way the player can control their character like their really driving it which I think what made this game catch up to the PS3's and the 360's popularity, which was a nice effort Nintendo has pulled off. Well, on how this game got really popular for the Wii, let's go ahead and get on with this review and see on how this one game got popular. The Graphics: Lets start with the graphics of this game, I think for the time of it's release in 2008, I think that Nintendo really put a whole lot of effort onto this game, especially with the graphics, they really did a nice job on this. On how each and every racetracks are designed, the new tracks, they but a whole lot of details on the track and also and things that ain't part of the track as well, like the backgrounds, I think were a very nice touch as well, and for the track setting, they really put in a lot of effort into it, runs all smoothly, no problems with the graphics no blurs, no miscolors, and no other problems, everything looks all so nice. Also, it's not just the newer tracks, but also the remakes of previous tracks from previous Mario Kart games, they all really went though a huge upgrade to the Wii's graphics and they all look better than they ever have, which I think is a awesome upgrade. Now as for the character spites, I think they all look really perfect with how they look like, I like the design on all of those characters and all their vehicles they race in as well, no problems what so ever. Overall, I think the graphics in this one game were pretty outstanding for the Wii for a 2008 game, a really nice job all here. With on how I mentioned about this game's graphics, I'm going to give this a 9 out of 10, very nice, and very well done for the Wii and I think the graphics came out the best on not just Mario Kart Wii, but one of the top games for the Wii for it's graphics. ---- The Sound & Music: Moving on to the Sound Effects, I think how the sound effects that has turned out for this game to my opinion I think was a really nice job, like the driving, and the usage of the power-ups, and a whole bunch of other interesting and funny things you can also do for the sound effects, really nice and really clear and just extremely crazy. As for the Music in this game, although they're a couple new songs added into this game, but most of the Music in this game were recycled from the past Mario Kart games, which to my mind, it is good and bad, it's good because of them bringing back those classic tunes from past Mario Karts, but the bad thing to my own opinion, I think they should added in a little bit of newer tunes into this game, but I do understand they want to keep the songs a little bit classy with a modern twist, but still, it's great, but not amazing though. With the great sound effects, but the music was not as great as the sound effects (but still good though), I'm going to give this an 8 out of 10, it's good, but not great ---- The Addiction Level: I think personally in not just this game, but all of Mario Kart is all pretty addicting and I think this might be the most addicting series in the whole Mario series because you can be able to compete against friends in this series, and for Mario Kart Wii, I think has the biggest addiction level above the rest of the Mario Kart games because a whole lot of people really likes to play this and using the Wireless steering wheel for the Wii remote makes it looks like your driving that car that your character is operating, and with your friends challenging you for a race, I think personally, everyone really likes to challenge their friends which can be really fun and really addicting for that person, because I have played someone online and I really like to play online with that person, it's all fun and addicting, it's not just the online gameplay that is addicting, it's also the single player modes can also be a little addicting as well because all the goals in the game you want to accomplish. So, for the addiction level for this one game with you playing it online and playing in single player that wants you to keep on playing this over and over, I'm going to give this a perfect 10 out of 10, it's just that great and addicting. ---- The Story: Although, they're a lack of a storyline into this game, but if they was a storyline, I would be a really awesome storyline on how this game is played. But you don't really need a storyline for the game to be a really great game though and to my opinion, I think personally this game doesn't need one, it's fantastic on the way it is, so other than that, they're not a whole lot to say for the storyline other than what I mentioned on here, so that's why The Story isn't that big, but like I said, a great game doesn't really need a story, depending on what the game is mostly like this game, this is one of those games that don't really need a story though. So without a storyline, sadly, the Story is un-ranked for this game, but it is still good though. ---- The Depth: Alright, for the depth, you really got a whole lot of different modes to choose from and a lot of different tracks, but also in this series is all the interesting power-ups you can use on your opponents. Ok, for the modes, you got 6 different game modes you can choose from, the Grand Prix, the Time Trial, the VS. Race, the Battle, a Ghost race, and a Tournament race, which each of them are all unique in a way. Now for the tracks, you got a total of 42 different tracks you can choose from with 16 newer racetracks added in as well with 16 returning racetracks from previous Mario Kart games, and in addition, you got 10 additional battle stages to compete in as well. It's not just the newer tracks and the game modes, but you got a number of characters to choose from and all the power-ups you can have, like you can pick from, you start out with 12 drivers and you can be able to unlock 12 more later on in the game, so really, you got a total of 24 different characters to choose from and every one of them all have different vehicles you can also choose from which to my mind, you have like an unlimited amount of choices you can make and all the choices, no two races are the same when you're just racing for fun. Now with all the things I have mentioned for the Depth of this game with all the things you can possibly do in this game, I'm going to give this a perfect 10 out of 10. This game just has a whole lot inside it and I think this game has got a lot more than in?previous Mario Kart games (but that's mostly based on my opinion).? ---- The Difficulty and Gameplay: On how difficulty this game happens to be, it's really hard to first control it when you're not used to the game, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty much smooth sailing from there, especially if you're playing online with someone else, and if they're good, then it'll like forever to beat, but that is why mostly go with single player first so you get the hang of playing the game and once you do in fact get the hang of playing this game, you can take on your friends online and get a chance to beat them, but going onto the single player mode, the opponents in this game can be really easy to So, with everything I have mentioned with the difficulty of the game and also on how the gameplay and controls that also works into this game, I'm going to give this game a 8 out of 10, it's really hard at very first, but once you do get the hang of this game, it can be quite easy though. ---- Overall: Overall, I think this is one of my most favorite Mario game, not just in the Mario Kart series, but one of the top games in the whole Mario series. With all that I mentioned above, they're some ups and downs with this game, but I still think it's all that good though, and if you look at it, I think the Graphics, the Depths, and the Addiction Level of this game I think what really made this game a real success for the Nintendo Wii to catch of to their competition (the PS3 and the 360), which was a nice effort by Nintendo, also, they had a few hiccups with this game though with the sounds and music and a lack of a storyline to this game, but I don't think both of those are that much of an issue though, still a really nice game all together, and also this game isn't really that hard when you're used to it though, so for this game, it's all that fun to try out and play for your self. For my final thoughts of Mario Kart Wii, this is a really fun and entertaining game for you to try out and compete with your friends or just simply play on your own, neither way you look at it, it'll still really fun though, so, if you have an Nintendo Wii, I will highly recommend this game for you to play for your enjoyment, it's fun, it's exciting, it's addicting, and all and all, it's a must have game in not just the Mario Kart series, but in the entire Mario series all together. So, my overall score for this game, I'm going to give this game a 9 out of 10, it's fun and all and I think the biggest part of that score is it's graphics, it's Depth in the game, and how much people are addicted to this game. Time for another review my IB122, this game is on Mario Kart Wii, this is the 6th game in the whole Mario Kart Series that was released in 2008 for the Nintendo Wii, and this game can include a wireless steering wheel.

Razor-987 : Thanks, I'm doing as many reviews as I can, I think so far, I have made like around 40 reviews total on Vizzed which is a whole lot of reviews and I'm not really done yet, once I buy the PS1 items, expect a lot more reviews from me because I got a boatload of games for the PS1 I'm going to review on and I might do that in the January 2014's TdV. |
