Nintendo Wii - Mario Kart Review

My husband wanted this bad.  In fact, every boy seems to be initially attracted to this game.  They play for an hour total, max, and then mysteriously no longer touch the thing.  There is something attractive about driving games, expecially when you get to have a steering wheel.  Brings on nostalgia for the arcade days.  The things is that those games were better.  This one has great graphics, they will make your head spin quick.  But, these is no real point or purpose to this game.  Despite great appearances, it is really boring.  I think that it would be better if it came with a big seat like in the arcade.  I would save your money and get a game with more plot or excitement.  If you can rent a copy or borrow one then try it out first.  The steering wheel included in the package is not neccesary to play and only a bit helpful.  I also think that this is the one wii game we have that doesn't really take advantage of the motion sensing abiltities of the wii.
