Mario Kart Wii

Fast, Fun, and Challenging on July 21, 2008

First-off, I'd like to point out that Mario Kart Wii's online connection is crystal clear. I have seen absolutely no lag, and the speed of joining a race is extremely quick. Alright, now for my review. I love the fact that the CPU'S are more ballsey then they used to be. Items- I looove the new items in this game, however, I did notice some of the old Items are gone as well. The GIANT banana (Yes I know it's been replaced by the N64's Banana rope), Mario and Luigi's fireballs, Peach and Daisy's orbiting hearts, the GIANT bowser shell, and many others. **I'm pretty sure I've spotted Yoshi and Birdo eggs in MK Wii. If anyone else can back me up, that'd be greatly appreciated.** Another noticeable differences are the characters. A lot of new ones...but I can honestly say I miss Petey. Besides the fact that his enormous head may have temporarily blocked your view, I still miss him. Levels....LOVEM'! The Battle mode-shame, shame, shame. They tried. BUT overall: Online...Awesome. 2-player Online...Crazy. The game...Crazy Awesome!
