Testimonials
Average Buyer Rating:  out of 5 stars

Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - * Kids Love it ...
My kids have this game on the ds and I can't get in on it. I got it for the wii and we are all loving it.



Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - Mario Kart Wii
Very fun and entertaining. I have only two Wii remotes, but it's still fun. Would recommend getting four if you have lots of get-togethers or a large family. Competing online is also fun. Overall, loved the game.



Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - * Wonderful Wii ...
The Mario Kart Wii is an exceptional game. The whole family enjoys it. After purchase, it arrived immediately with no delay and was found to be in perfect condition just as the seller had said. It was new and never opened. It would have taken much longer to purchase through a retail store since most retailers who carried the item never had it in stock.



Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome game- especially if you are new to wii
Why I bought Wii-

I used to play NES when I was a kid and I always enjoyed it so much. But, as newer consoles began to evolve I found myself intimidated by the new games. Playing seemed to take a lot of effort and practice. There were SO MANY BUTTONS on the controllers for playstation and game cube. It seemed like there was so much to remember. For example you need to press random combinations of buttons to pull out a weapon or jump into the air. It all seemed so confusing to me. So I picked Wii because it had the least amount of buttons- and plus I think the whole motion sensor idea is pretty cool.

Why people dislike the game-

As for Mario Kart for Wii, I have read a few complaints regarding the game play and the controls, however I have noticed that a lot of these complaints come from people who loved the original Mario Kart Double Dash. No one really likes change and apparently the wii version changes a few key playing elements (such as being able to play a battle solo and playing grand prix in multi player mode). However if you've never played any other version of Mario Kart before- this really won't affect you.

The Wii Wheel-

I love the wii wheel because, again, you don't have to push buttons! One button is for the gas and one is for the brake. Easy to remember. I would recommend buying wheels for each remote you own because I think it is by far the easiest way to play, particulary if you are new. It definitely does take some practice though! The motion sensing is pretty sensitive, so if you fling your arms all over the place you will drive off the edge of the road. I have had numerous people come over my house to play and after about 15-30 minutes they have a pretty good handle on the steering. Veteran players seem to dislike the wheel because you do need practice. It is very different from the original mario kart and veteran players have no advantage over newbies.

Why I like the game-

I LOVE playing this game. It is especially fun in the multiplayer mode and online with players from around the world. I like unlocking new stuff and filling up my license with trophies. It is definitely easy to learn and doesn't get old too quickly because there are several modes of play (grand prix, ghost racing, battles, online). There are also a lot of tracks to chose from that vary in difficulty level. This way you can start off with easier tracks and move up to more difficult ones as you improve.

Other things people complain about-

My chief complaint is the online ghost ranking (which is pretty much seeing how fast you can finish a certain track without any other players or error items). People have been able to cheat on this and score ridiculous times like 1 minute for all 3 laps of a track. It kind of defeats the purpose of the ranking because those times are not real. I heard that nintendo is supposed to be working on deleting these fake records, but for now they are still there.
People also tend to complain about the error items- and for the record what they are saying is true. Often times when you play against the AI characters you seem to get hit with a lot of bad stuff (like the blue shell of death) when you are in first place. It really does seem like you get punished for being in first. The game ranks you on your driving and as of now I have yet to reach the *** level because the computer is always knocking me out! However there are lots of ways to evade the game's error items and keep yourself in first.


All in all I personally think the game is great. It's very entertaining for groups of people to play and it is even fun to watch others play. The unlockable karts and characters keep you interested. I've had it for a few months now and I still love it!



Buyer's feedback: 4 out of 5 stars - * Could be better, but it is fun ...
This game was frustrating at first, takes a little while to get use to the wheel, but once you get the hang of it it is really nice. I do not like that the save file can not be transfered to another counsel without some creative bypassing, even then you cant use it to play online. Would have been nice to have the option to export non-online save files to an sd card so that I could transfer to ny friends wii and not have to beat courses again.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a rollicking voyage in the same spirit of the two earlier Pirates films, yet far darker in spots (and nearly three hours to boot). The action, largely revolving around a pirate alliance against the ruthless East India Trading Company, doesn't disappoint, though the violence is probably too harsh for young children. Through it all, the plucky cast (Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush) are buffeted by battle, maelstroms, betrayal, treachery, a ferocious Caribbean weather goddess, and that gnarly voyage back from the world's end--but with their wit intact. As always, Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow tosses off great lines ; he chastises "a woman scorned, like which hell hath no fury than!" He insults an opponent with a string of epithets, ending in "yeasty codpiece."!

In the previous The Curse of the Black Pearl, Sparrow was killed--sent to Davy Jones' Locker. In the opening scenes, the viewer sees that death has not been kind to Sparrow--but that's not to say he hasn't found endless ways to amuse himself, cavorting with dozens of hallucinated versions of himself on the deck of the Black Pearl. But Sparrow is needed in this world, so a daring rescue brings him back. Keith Richards' much ballyhooed appearance as Jack's dad is little more than a cameo, though he does play a wistful guitar. But the action, as always, is more than satisfying, held together by Depp, who, outsmarting the far-better-armed British yet again, causes a bewigged commander to muse: "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?" As far as fans are concerned, it matters not. --A.T. Hurley

On the DVD
Here's something you can't say about just any DVD extras: There appears to be more of Keith Richards in the outtakes, interviews, and other special features on the At World's End disc than in the actual film. For those scenes alone, this special edition is well worth the price. Richards looks as woozy and gamey as all the rumors suggested, and answers questions he's not asked, with Johnny Depp sitting next to him, almost acting as a translator. Richards offers pithy comments like, "Everything I do is original, you better believe," and smiles when other cast members call him "Two-Take Richards" for supposedly nailing his scenes.

The packed second disc also includes a terrific mini-doc on how the filmmakers created the famous maelstrom, in an enormous hanger in Palmdale, California, with the ships floating 30 feet off the ground. "Just moving the Black Pearl was an enormous undertaking," says producer Jerry Bruckheimer with serious understatement. Other cool extras include "Tale of the Many Jacks," deleted scenes with great commentary, "The World of Chow Yun-Fat," a bio of composer Hans Zimmer, features on the set designers, a look at the impressive Brethren Court, and some hilarious bloopers. "You can't curse in a Disney film," deadpans Depp when a costar blurts out something blue. "See? I told him." The extras are truly as much of a rollicking adventure as the film. --A.T. Hurley

Thanks to a fortuitous intersection of talent and fate, 22-year-old Josh Groban hasn't finished his senior year in performing arts school but has already released his sophomore effort on a major major label. Fans of the young vocal phenom's debut will find much to enthrall them here, even if it nudges the singer closer to the center of producer/mentor David Foster's MOR pop sensibilities. Eschewing much of its predecessor's more overt classic-lite pretensions and pop-rock covers for a slate of dramatic, Eurocentric ballads that serve as a showcase for the singer's inviting baritone, Groban shrewdly positions himself as the American alternative to the Bocelli-Watson crossover axis. "Caruso" may find the singer falling short of its operatic inspiration, but "Oceano" and "My Confession" quickly showcase his true dramatic range (which seems to all but yearn for a bona fide Broadway musical challenge), while a vocal take of Bacalov's graceful "Il Postino" theme uses classical virtuoso Joshua Bell's violin flourishes to good effect. To his credit, Groban displays some promising efforts at songwriting collaboration on the bittersweet "Per Te" and "Remember When It Rains," while the ambient/ethnic soundscape of Deep Forest's "Never Let Go" offers a teasing alternative to the record's otherwise melodramatic production formula. Groban has found commercial triumph via Foster's mentoring, but there remains a nagging sense here that he hasn't truly pushed himself as an artist--yet. --Jerry McCulley

The world can't get enough of Madonna, and with CD/DVD sets like The Confessions Tour dropping regularly, it's little wonder why. As a thrower of fantasy dance parties, she is peerless. As a physical role model for the 40-ish women who grew up on her music, she rules. And as an arbiter of what's going to sound shockingly original in any given decade--well, duh. The Confessions Tour rounds up songs from way back--"Ray of Light" and "La Isla Bonita" make the DVD, and "Lucky Star" and "Like a Virgin" are on the CD as well as the DVD--but this concert, filmed in 2006 at London's Wembley Arena, aims its sturdiest spotlight on Confessions on a Dance Floor, Madge's 2005 disco disc. You could argue, then, that unless you're in it for the sheer DVD spectacle (and what a spectacle it is), there's no sense in owning this package. Only you wouldn't be right. Because as any on-the-ball Madonna fan knows, what she's doing musically is telling a story--you may already know the characters, but that doesn't mean she hasn't completely reworked the plot. To that end, "I Love New York" gets its rock on, "Let It Will Be" has a musical temper tantrum, and "Hung Up" goes for the drama queen award. You've heard these songs before, but you've never heard them quite like this, to borrow a bad informercial phrase. As twisted and hopped-up as they've become, they're all worth getting to know again. --Tammy La Gorce
$10.97



Apparently there's nothing in Kabbalah that disallows sweaty, head-spinningly good dance music, because here comes a flame-haired Madonna hawking a dozen songs' worth: Confessions on a Dance Floor darts seamlessly from Madge's early days, when she emerged as the genre's enduring darling, through the political, kiddie, and acoustic pap that drove a wedge between her and early adopters of the fingerless glove look. Songs like the pop-leaning "Jump" and first single "Hung Up"--an adrenaline drip on high that, like many of these tracks, will inspire mild shame among those who've thrilled to the much thinner disco-dusted outpourings of younger divas recently--represent both a return to form and an unmistakable march into the future. "Get Together" is a sonic freak-out in the best sense; "Push" traffics in gut-level futuristic trance; and "Forbidden Love" loops in '80s blips and bleeps for a follow-me-into-the-past effect that's both neo and retro. For all the image-affirming innovations here, though, these confessions find Madonna framed in her share of reflective moments too. "Was it all worth it/How did I earn it?" she asks on "How High," a song featuring vocoder. "Nobody's perfect/I guess I deserve it," comes the answer. A later lyrical inquiry is left for the listener to judge: "Does this get any better?" Madonna wants to know. But that opens the door to a dizzying proposition. Few of us would have guessed, after all, that it got this good. --Tammy La Gorce
