The Addiction That is Mario Kart Wii- By: Martin Bliss

Description : 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.

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.

Mario Kart Wii is a truly special game. It takes a classic format that achieved great success on the N64 and the Super Nintendo, and transposes it to the Wii, taking full advantage of the motion sensing controls.

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.

The boards are fast paced and the tracks are extremely competitive and fun. Perhaps my favorite thing about the game is the online play mode. I find myself playing online more often than any other way, as the game can be a bit less challenging once you beat it.

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.

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.
