Let's-a Go!

So then Mario Kart Wii, good game, shame about the cheating bitch slapping AI, some things will never change...

Thankfully the online part is great, I had no noticeable lag and getting a match was quick and painless. Of course the fact that I won all 12 races by quite a considerable margin didn't hurt any. It's a funny ol' game though some races you'll win easy peasy but others (in the same cup) you'll just get bitch slapped from start to finish, I've already lost count of the number of times I've been hit by a blue shell or lightning while I'm in mid air over a deep hole causing me to plummet to my doom.

I am a little curious about the inclusion of the bikes though, to be frank they're pretty shit and don't really offer anything new to the series. I mean yeah its great that you can get a mini boost on the straights but that's only because you can't get the fully powered up boost on the corners. I guess some of the stunts you pull are nice but then you can do stunts in the normal kart negating the need for bikes. I'd have prefered it if they spent the time and space on adding more new tracks than the bikes.

Which leads me onto my next point the tracks, the new one are generally pretty good, no real favourites as yet but none that make me cringe, well apart from Rainbow road. I just wish there were more of them, yes having the retro cups is nice but I'm not a big fan of re-buying things so the thought that I'm paying £35 quid for a pointless bit of plastic (the steering wheel) and 16 old tracks doesn't best please me, I'd much rather only have 4-8 retro tracks and get an extra 8-12 brand new tracks that I can sink my teeth into.

Whatever good game, go by it.
