Things I Like: Mario Kart Wii

Even though it's not the best Mario Kart, doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the Wii game. 

It's a shame Nintendo spent so much time trying to plug the Wii Wheel thing. Such an awful method of control too. Trust me, you'll be using a GameCube controller after your first race. 

As long as you have a decent control method, Mario Kart Wii is pretty sweet. It's a shame this was the first game really missing something that makes it unique. Mario Kart 64 was the first to use 3D, Super Circuit was the first handheld MK, Double Dash had the two racers, Mario Kart DS had online play, and Mario Kart Wii has motorcycles.....Hooray? 

I did enjoy the online mode for Mario Kart Wii though. Also a few additional features besides just racing and battling. Less cheating in Mario Kart Wii versus Mario Kart DS during online play as well. 

It may have been a disappointing sequel, but it was still a good game. Forget the haters, Mario Kart Wii is a gem. 

Things I Hate: Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz

The Super Monkey Ball series kinda hit a slump after the first two games. I was hoping the Wii game would be a revival of a great game, but not so much. 

I like the graphics, and the stages are decently designed, however there is one big problem. 

You can only use motion control, and like Mario Kart Wii (which gives the option) you'll be longing to go back to the traditional joystick.
