 Fun, expensive, plastic May 23, 2008
After all, this is just a piece of plastic. But it is perfectly made, feels great and is useful for any driving game! I got mine with Mario Kart Wii and so have not had to pay this extortionate price. It makes driving much more enjoyable! I use it for Mario Kart and Excite Truck (which i would also recommend).
Four only because of the price, you can get it cheaper elsewhere :)
An essential part of the Mario Kart experience! May 23, 2008
As Mario Kart only comes with one Wii wheel then a second wheel is a must purchase for multiplayer. Obviously you don't have to use the wheel at all, Mario Kart allows you to use just the regular Wii Controller and Nunchuk, or even the Classic Controller.
But to not use the wheel takes away some of the insane fun that is Mario Kart. The beauty of the Wii is that you can use all these cool accessories to enhance the gaming experience, so playing Mario Kart without the wheel means you're really missing out.
The Wii wheel itself is nice and light and easy to hold. It takes a little bit of practice to get used to the wheel, you have to remember to hold it steady and simply turn it left or right to steer and not twist it at funny angles or over-steer. Is sounds simple but when you're taking a corner at high speed while frantically trying to overtake an opponent it's easy lose control and start wiggling the wheel all over place! Just keep it steady and turn it, there's no need for for any extreme movements with it.
Believe me, once you've used the Wii wheel for Mario Kart you'll never go back to using the Wii Controller, it's a must purchase!

Don't let anyone tell you that there is no difference between using the wii wheel and sticking with just the remote. It is true that all you're getting for your money is a bit of plastic which the wii-mote slips into but the transformation in games like Mario Kart Wii is extraordinary.
The wii wheel is simple, convenient to use and makes the gaming experience much more satisfying, especially if playing with mates. The wii remote alone is too small and fiddly and can be really awkward to control on some tracks and, lets face it, whats the point in having a Wii if you're going to use a nunchuk or traditional remote?
It might be true that the wheel is a tad expensive and seems like nothing substantial but its effect on gameplay, however subtle, makes it well worth the buy.
Forget the wheel, you don't need it May 2, 2008

If you are the 'main' player of Mario Kart, you'll have realised by now that the most satisfactory way to play it is using nunchuck, classic, Gamecube controllers. If you are playing multiplayer with people who are not used to using normal game controllers, let them use the wheel that came in the box. It won't be long before they ask to learn how to play by the joystick method, because the game doesn't play that well with the wheel!
It's a bit pricey n'all!
