The audio isn t anything special it s actually pretty annoying

Summary: The audio isn t anything special it s actually pretty annoying It s basically a series of boops and doops trying to make a song Sometimes there is loading screens which are usually just beep beep beep BEEEP It gets quite irritating quickly If you are like me and don t like annoying game music you can just shut the sound off of your TV while playing Multiplayer There are two ways to play multiplayer in this game online and against someone else near you For online on the main game screen it s called Nintendo WFC WFC stands for WiFi Connection There are tons of people to play all over the world on WiFi it s so fun The moment you start searching you normally find like 11 others to play with with in a minute or two Playing on WiFi is awesome You re playing against 11 people most of the time sometimes less Normally you don t know the people unless you are playing Friend modes Either way the lag is at an absolute minimum compared to most other Wii games namely Super Smash Bros Brawl This game outshines it online in every way The other great thing about online is the way the items work It goes perfectly along with Nintendo s fair concepts for this game The higher you are ahead the worse the items you get are In 12th place you get things like Stars and Bullet Bills but in 1st place you get things like Fake Items Green Shells and Bananas It is bad for some people but really it isn t as bad as I thought it was going to be It just adds another strategy element into the game and these kinds of games can always do with ways to vary in skills Without it it would be a tie for first everytime The other multiplayer type is what I like to call in house multiplayer This is good for those who have families to entertain or want to play a game with company You can play with all of the features of an online game against live people right next to you It s pretty cool since if you are competitive you can get up in the face of the person you are beating Or beg them for mercy when they are whipping you Either way it s pretty fun to play alongside someone you know Another multiplayer mode is online and in house versions of the Battle mode I will get into more detail about the battle mode in my next paragraph Battle Mode And now the wait is over I finally get to the long awaited battle mode Well not really long awaited I only just mentioned it last paragraph But anyway this isn t really the greatest mode there is Grand Prix and regular multiplayer put it to shame Basically you try and knock balloons off of your opponents You use items seriously that s really about all there is to this game mode It s not extremely fun and pretty much underdone There is so much more Nintendo could have done with this game mode but seriously it just seems like a half baked idea And it s been in the game series for a long time and the first time was interesting now it s just getting boring and old The only upside is you can play it online and against people so they will have to go through the pain with you I m kidding it s slightly better with friends though More or less because the AI in single player is bad and easy to beat Time Trials Basically time trials are doing three laps at a certain track It doesn t sound interesting but Time Trials have always been a statement in racing games especially Mario Kart It s been one of the most competitive aspects of the Mario Kart games to date Partially because most so far haven t had online But some people cling on to the believe that Time Trials show you re true skill since there aren t any random items other then the mushrooms you start out with Really though there s really not that much competitivity in the latest installment of Mario Kart so many people will take it where they can get it Gameplay The gameplay is pretty simplistic itself you re racing characters around in karts or bikes trying to be the first to get around the track or beat your opponents time Basicallly the different modes outline most of the gameplay in this game But the things that complement the gameplay the most are the controller mechanisms You can use the Wiimote only shoved an a Wheel to give off the feel that you are actually driving You can use the Wiimote and Nunchuk combination to play as a normal game just like other Wii games Or you can use the Gamecube controller to play as if it were Mario Kart Double Dash These are just the main controller options though seeing as there are some smaller less popular options out there The audio isn t anything special it s actually pretty annoying It s basically a series
