So, i Just bought Mariokart wii today, and being a huge mariokart 64 fan, i was pretty excited. Me and my housemates still play battle and versus on the VC version of MK64 reguarly, and in my opinion, its the best game in the series.
After the faliure that was double dash (in my opinion), i was hoping the wii version would be nothing like it.
While the single player is a lot better than double dash, the multiplayer is a complete mess. Whats with team only battles? and no way to play just against your friends, instead of having all the computer players throw around a mess of items. It couldn't be more frustrating. It is also really hard to see anything in multiplayer split screen, as the characters are so small, and everything gets really blurry, even on our big tv. I was really hoping this game would be more like the old ones, i dont really like the childish cart designs, and the motor bikes are completely un-fair to race against.
So while it's not a completely bad game, single player and online are fun, its not taking over MK64 anytime soon. I also think this is going to be the first nintendo game i will return, as i have a hard time trying to have fun with it. :(
Now the long wait til Brawl, i know that one won't be a let down.
