8.5/10
A great, fun game, but definitely a step down from the previous installment (Mario Kart DS). The wii-mote steering wheel isn't perfect and sometimes a little awkward, but it's a very fun local multiplayer experience.
The graphics aren't great (especially given how good mario kart DS looked on that console and how good some Wii games can look) and the weapons aren't as balanced (i've found) as the DS game. Also the new maps don't quite live up to the standard we've come to expect from the series (again, especially after the awesome maps found on the DS game).
It would have scored higher if we didn't get the excellent DS game first.
