Mario Kart 8 (Nintendo Wii U)

Very quick looks ok not had chance to check it as its a present. Really pleased though.

Incredible game bought when it first came out and still playing. A great joy playing it with friends when theyre over. With several new items to play with including the new Super Horn (which I rather call the Boombox) to counter the Blue shell. Being able to play online with a friend was a treat and the customisation, tho overwelming at first, is a nice feature thats creative and can add a little personal touch.

I have been a huge Mario Kart fan since the original

One of the classic must have games. I am 81 and I play with my 8 year old grandson. He usually wins.

Très bon jeu, très complet, de nombreux nouveaux circuits, de nombreux personnages jouables (même si je regrette labsence de Boo et de Bowser), de nombreuses possibilités de customisation de véhicules. Franchement je recommande ce mariokart.

Ive now had this game a couple of months and the only disappointment is that I didnt buy it when it first came out! Race around a wide selection of fun, colourful, and imaginative tracks, choosing from a vast array of vehicles, wheels, parachutes, and characters (you can even play as your Mii that youve created on your Wii U console). As you race around the tracks you can collect prizes that assist you in winning the races by disabling your opponents momentarily. the tracks range in difficulty so its ideal for family members of all ages, and four players can race against each other at any one time. There are five categories of racing - firstly 50cc, 100cc, 150cc, and 200cc (super fast and very difficult!) which are simply different speeds of racing, and each time you complete a set of four races (known as a cup), achieving 1st in each race, you will unlock a new item/character to play with going forward. Lastly, theres the Mirror category, which allows you to race all the tracks the wrong way round - once youve been conditioned to learn the tracks, this is super hard to do! If you want to take a break from trying to unlock all the items and win every cup, you can switch to Online Mode and play against other Mario Kart 8 players across the globe - this is (in my opinion) by far the most fun thing about this game. As long as your Wii U is hooked up to a wifi connection, you can simply select the Online Mode from the home screen, choose your character and vehicle, and youll be automatically entered into a room with up to 12 players. Two players can play online mode together at any one time. You can also add your own friends if they have this game, and they can join you in a room any time youre online, or you can create a room solely to race against your friends! I regularly play this game with my six-year-old nephew, and he absolutely loves it, which shows just how versatile the game is with regards to age suitability. When playing online, players in a room are able to chat to each other, but only by using a selected few phrases already built into the game, such as hello, good game, that was fun etc. therefore ensuring online security and peace of mind for parents of your children playing this game. This is good fun for all the family, and not your average racing game - I highly recommend you give it a try!

This is the best Mario Kart I have played! All MK fans should add this to their collection! Awesome! Wii U!

amazing!

A great family game.

Lisa love it.. what’s not to!!
