It's definitely a great game especially the multiplayer... i picked it up this morning at Best Buy despite the fact that i still had reservations about the game after reading reviews and was worried I'd be disappointed, well all my fears were thrown aside the minute fired the game up! I spent about 3 hours playing GP mode and cleared all the 50cc races now I just started playing the 100cc class and I love the bikes, even more so than the karts. The Wii wheel was fun too although I find mapping the items to the d-pad to feel a bit unnatural for a MK veteran like myself. Online was flawless, the complete opposite of Brawl on its release day, ugh what a nightmare. No lag whatsoever, and I like the points system, it works out alot better then simply doing like say a 4 race match like on MK DS because you dont have to worry about people constantly dropping out just because they lost a race, that IMO was a huge flaw in MK DS's online. I just wish that the graphics didn't look kinda washed out and blurry, as if the brightness and contrast on my tv set was jacked all the way up. Other then that I'm very happy with MKWii, even moreso than Brawl believe it or not!

Final verdict... MK Wii > MK DS > MK 64 > MK DD... however SNES MK is still the one MK to rule them all!

I actually love the d-pad as you can now control better the direction to shoot the item or to hold it. Back then you had to pull the analog stick back for a sec to shoot green shells and stuff backwards, now its easier.

My only concern is: I am never loosing. I mean I played all the 50CC and came in first in all tracks first time playing (with wheel). then i started first cup in 100CC and the same stuff. always came in first. I hope this changes in 150CC and that it gets a challenge like Diddy Kong racing was on the 64.
