Mario Kart Wii!!

I'd like to start this blog with the amazing Mario Kart Wii. I went to Gamestation at 9am today to pick up my copy (I then bought an extra Wii Wheel). The game cost me £35 and my extra wheel cost £7.99, so not bad for one of the best games to date. The game itself its plain old Mario Kart; it's the same as double dash, and mario kart 64 and the original Mario Kart. The graphics are slightly sharper, gameplay hasnt changed and there are a couple of new weapons but that's all. There are two main features of this new Mario Kart though:

+ Wii Wheel.

+ Online multiplayer.

The wheel works perfectly, gives great accuracy and adds a certain hint of realism, right up until you get hit by a red shell and a monkey drives past you. It also makes the game a whole lot more fun. Damn you boring people who play with the wiimote and nunchuk :(!! The online is also stunning. 12 player online battle mode and races. It takes about 3-8 seconds to find a match of 12 on average...so it's really quick. And, despite being worldwide and playing with literally people from around the world, its suprisingly lag-free. So, that concludes Mario Kart Wii...10/10.

My friend code is 3866-8143-9459. If anyone wants a race...just message me your code.
