I've not orgasming over it but I'll be heading out for it on Tuesday. If they don't have it I'll coem home with No More Heroes instead and still be perfectly happy.
I got Mario Kart and I don't really enjoy it. Only one, huge thing spoils it - the weapons. Rather, leading a race for almost 3 laps and then being hit with a combo of red shells, blue shells, POW blocks and then hit into the lava/water as everyone passes you. If you're reading this having not played the game, let me assure you that I'm not exaggerating. You'll be surprised at how "unlucky" the game can make you feel. The Wii steering controls are great though - time trial mode is good but eh, I wish I'd bought something else.
I'm a long time fan of Mario kart. I just picked it up today. It's fun, but it's too frustrating. I could whoop butt in any other one, but I find myself in lower places anymore. It feels kind of like it was rushed. What's extra sad is the fact that they probably won't make another better one for wii. It's a good game, and maybe I'll get used to it, but little things like drifting going too far, way to many items, slow acceleration, not fast enoughness, and the inability to turn as much as you'd like to kind of ruin it. Meh, give me a few days and I'll want to delete this post because of how much I love it. (The wii wheel feels to heavy!! And it doesn't really feel like a wheel without you having to hold it straight up, which is tiring.)
Forget everything I said. I played it again and am now in love. I was frazzled when I got home and was apparently holding the wiil wrong. I was gripping the entire thing when a loose two or three finger thing is best. I love it. Tomorrow I should get a wifi adaptor, then I'll be online! Those things I mentioned are annoying, but automatic drifting solves two of them and they're not that big of a deal.

Most "hardcore" Mario Kart players seems to use the GameCube controller though. Try that maybe?
- Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen -
TBH I've seen more players with gold wheels than gold stars (I assume gold stars are the controller equivalent?) and in most games I've played the winner isn't always using the GC controller.

I'm not the only one! It get's so bad sometimes; and all I get to throw back are BANANAS? Everyone else gets nice shells but no all I ever get are damn bananas!
Also I might pass on GTAIV, for a while at least... GTA's never hold my attention for that long :\.

at the moment I'd rather play San Andreas. Never been keen on Libery City GTA's but we'll see.
