Why I Enjoy Mariokart Wii

While I've enjoyed many video games through the course of my life, perhaps my favorite has been the new Mario Kart game for the Nintendo Wii. I can't seem to put this game down and it's been a year since I bought it.

I'm not joking when I say that my grandfather came over and played this game, and won his first race! It was on the easy level, but still, it goes to show just how easy it is to pick something up like this.

As far as the reasons for praising this game so much go, if you've ever played any Mario Kart game, you know how addicting and fun it can be. This game will remind you very much of any other Mario Kart game you've played, but the kicker is the technology.

Using a wireless wheel, you can literally steer your cart as you would with any regular cart. The challenges are limitless and the accuracy is downright scary.

As far as the levels on the game, they're all very challenging and a lot of fun. One of the best things to take advantage of in Mario Kart Wii is the online mode, which happens to be my personal favorite way to play the game.

By playing against people from all around the world, you can wirelessly connect online and join a race with up to 12 other cars within minutes. This is endless fun and I find myself racing for hours. The ranking system keeps me coming back for more.

This quickly lets you see how you stack up compared to the many other drivers playing this game. It becomes a constant challenge to see how high you can get your ranking.

This is the best game I've ever bought for my Nintendo Wii, and possibly one of the best video games I've ever played.
