Although the game hasn't evolved much in the last fifteen years it still tends to fall into the "don't fix what isn't broken" category. It's a fast and fun racing game that is easy enough for beginners to pick up and enjoy while still a challenge for veteran players to master.
The addition of online play (other than it's not so friendly friends system) and the introduction of the Wii's motion technology add even more oil to what is already a pretty slick offering. Mario Kart Wii is a true family friendly game that can be enjoyed by a huge age range and should be on every Wii owner's must buy list.
