Why Mario Kart Wii couldn't get "AAA" from critics.

Well, in my mind it is OK to say good things about a game without playing it, as you have seen some videos and stuff, and have played the earlier installments, but complaining without having played it isn't acceptable.

Saying something along the lines off "Because it wasn't awesome, end of discussion" (I'm against framing single persons when several said something, so I do not directly quote) adds nothing to the thread, and also changes the subject into something else.

And wait, it didn't add a lot? Well, not the way I see it.

1. Awesome online play. For me, it's the best online experience ever, but I haven't played much other than Halo 3 and WoW on other consoles than Wii.

2. No snaking. You say it shouldn't have been in the first place? Well, maybe not, but this does make it totally different from DD.

3. Bikes and wheelies. If you drive a bike, it's a whole different game. Wheelie as much as you can, don't get hit, and you have to time differently. Drive a kart? You have to drive aggressive, slamming into "wheeliers" to get them off. A big change.

4. Tricks in the air. This may not appear to make a big difference at once, but it does. It adds a whole new deepness to the game.

Those are 4 of the 5 major, I've forgotten the last. There are also heaps of small improvements that you complainers haven't noticed, as reviewers in general ignored them. Teams, holding item + new item, better items, pre damaging controlling for better items, shortcuts, timing slides, and a lot more which I have yet to find (or have forgotten).

The game is AAA, Amazing, Addicting, Awesome.
