Mario Kart Wii - anyone else a bit let down?

[malfunction]

Personally while I quite like a 2 player race I'm not keen on the other competitive modes. I think to enjoy the 1 player mode you have to go for the hardest difficulty and set your targets high (i.e. best rating) and then it becomes good (really good in fact). It's also way more fun with the wheel even though you lose a fair bit of easily had precision compared to the nunchuck / traditional control method

I love the game, loved the original too.

Only things i don't really like are how heavily bombarded with attacks in 150cc and Mirror. And that you can do a 2 player race. Like me vs my brother and no CPU.

Other than that, GREAT fun

Yea, i found this site that listed all specs and had tips for avoiding BlueShells and POW's... work great.

Online is fun though, much better for competition that CPU.

www.gamefaqs.com is a likely suspect... Personally I've read the advice and have had some difficulty getting it to work for blue shells; basically you need to activate a turbo boost (even one from a power slide will do) when the blue shell is fixed above your head but before it lands on you.

I spent a fair few hours on it and I'm now coming to the conclusion that I'm not really liking it.

It might as well be scripted, last corner... and... BAM. Back to 10th place.

Anyone else finding it's more about luck than judgement?

Haha well that's how the game is. I however started to enjoy it as I learned, and with the internet connection, ftw!

I think that this ones the best out of the lot, guess just cause of the internet play but its probably also one of the most fustrating....
