Great fun!:
I was very pleased with my purchase of Mario Kart for my grandsons at Xmas. They are only 6 yrs old but they could play this game very well and it was educational as well as fun for them. It teaches them eye and hand coordination, as well as the physical action and movements that are needed to play. I would recommend this as a great game for everyone.
Wii Fit:
We were very impressed with how detailed the physical analysis portion of the program provided. The exercises are fun and very helpful. This a workout program that more serior aged (60+) can keep up with and increase their daily exercise routine.
Must have for Wii gamers:
This game is so much fun competition for kids and adults alike! It's as challenging as you want it to be, you can race bikes, carts or far out vehicles, choose to drive solo or a group can work as a team to defeat Nintendo characters in a variety of courses.
Beware of ripoff bundles, this game sells for $49.99:
Don't get duped into paying ripoff "bundle" prices. The game sells for about fifty bucks and the steering wheel is fifteen! This game can be played with up to 4 players locally and many more on-line. If you don't have enough steering wheels, just use the remote without the wheel. It works just as good and some people prefer it that way.
