Dream Station: Mario Kart Wii Review

Dream Station writes: "I have to admit that I had mixed emotions about Mario Kart Wii before I got it. I had seen screenshots of the game in magazines and online and they didn't look that great. The game looked kind of drab and boring and I felt like it was just going to be Mario Kart Double Dash!! without the two characters per vehicle. In some ways Mario Kart Wii is a lot like Mario Kart Double Dash!! and all previous Mario Kart games because it is a Mario Kart game, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun and entertaining. My 4-year old son really likes racing games and Mario Kart for GameCube and Nintendo DS have been some of his favorite video games for awhile now, but I think Mario Kart Wii may have topped them or it is at least at the same level as them. I have to admit that I have been enjoying Mario Kart Wii also and my son and I have beaten all the 50cc and 100cc classes and some of the 150cc class races so far. We have also tried the Mario Kart Wii multiplayer modes and online modes which are also fun, but the game is not perfect."
