Nintendo - Mario Kart Wii Review

I think Mariokart Wii is such a great game. I have a three-year-old who loves to play it, which is amazing to me that he CAN play it. It's a challenge for him, but it's also a challenge for grown-ups with lots of ways to change the difficulty level. When you win races at three different CC levels on the karts you win more karts and characters. I also like the bright colors -- who said so many video games have to be so dark. It's been a great family activity at our house. It's also been fun (and sometimes frustrating) to watch my three-year-old play because he doesn't care if he wins. He has a great time in the races searching out shortcuts and driving through water, snow, and mud. He doesn't quite get the whole idea of the balloon and coin games. It's fun to play with a steering wheel, but you can play without it. I do wish you could use your own license at the same time as playing multi-player so it would go on your record, but that's not a big deal at all.
