• The Wii Wheel transforms the Wii Remote™ controller into a steering wheel that feels natural in anyone's hands, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk™ controller offer a classic control style for the Mario Kart veteran. In either configuration, players can perform speed-boosting tricks with a shake of the Wii Remote.

Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection:

There are two options for races and battles over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection: up to 12 people via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or up to 10 people via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection with two people playing locally.

The buzz was correct. This game is a blast. Hours of family fun. We had 3 generations participating all day on Christmas.

This game is great. The only problem is that I don't have a widescreen TV, which really henders the 4 person play. If I play alone I am fine. As soon as 4 people are playing you can barly see your little box. But there are so many fun level, and unlocking more levels gives you a goal.

I bought this for my son's Wii. He loves the game but not so crazy about the wheel. It makes it more difficult then it needs to be. He would rather use the remote for it. Same for all of his friends. So save some money and just buy the game. HE loves the game!!!

My boys, ages 11 & 8, both love this game. The graphics are better than the ealier version, and the wireless steering wheel is a big hit. I purchased an extra one so they both can use them.

This is a video game made for earlier Nintendo consoles and adapted to Wii. It is an excellent fun game but the buyer should be aware that it does not involve physical activity like games made specifically for the Wii. It's nice to take a break and sit down to Mario Kart, but I usually end up doing a few races and then going back to Wii sports (still the best) or Wii fit.
I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because the on-line setup and connections are klunky. To register your Mii's with a friend over the internet, both must be on-line at the same time. And once you're officially "friends", it is still difficult to get logged in to play a game together. The Wii servers are usually busy with other games. This feature is not well supported.
