I've got to agree with the Kotaku review (http://kotaku.com/385002/mario-kart-wii-review-im-not-angry-just-disappointed). Having played this for a few days now it doesn't quite live up to my expectations. It's a good game and definitely worth buying but I'd rate it as the weakest in the series. (I've played them all bar the GBA version.) The biggest disappointment is the battle mode where you have to play in teams not just one on one. Several times I beat my fiance but he officially won because of the cpu players on his team. Eventually he said something like "I hate this, it's nonsense, you're blatantly better but the team members keep letting me win." It's just not fun when random AI dictates the score.
