Mario Kart Wii Deals and Reviews

Mario Kart Wii is out today. It’s just like the other versions so I expect it to be fun. Even better it has online worldwide multiplayer so even better. You have probably already decided if your going to buy it or not, but just in case below are a few online reviews and deals that the major retailers have for the first week release of the game.

Reviews
IGN (85/100) - Like it, basically subtracted points for being more of the same.
GameTrailers (84/100) - Likes the bike, tricks and online play.
GameTap (80/100) - Like the online multiplayer, enjoyed the game overall, and again doesn't like the lack of new innovations in the franchise.

Deals
Best Buy - game is $50, extra wheels are $10 each (rather then MSRP of $15). Will have limited supply of Wii consoles available.
Toys R Us - game is $50, game guide is 50% off with purchase. Also 7 crappy Wii games are 50% off with purchase. Will have Wii consoles available but have been taking pre-order downpayments on them for the last week so will probably have a limited supply for walk-ins.
Target - game is $50. Will have limited supply of Wii console available.
Circuit City - game is $50. Will have limited supply of Wii console available.

Overall your best deal is with Toys R Us. If your looking to get a console with the game and then make sure to go to one of the local stores at least 2 hours before they open and bring something to do cause its really boring waiting.
