 wii did play! May 6, 2008

i thought that these wheels would somehow inhibit the repone time somehow but they did't. they worked just fine. i bought three additional wheels for my kids and they are wonderful. i can't wait to try them with other racing games that are set to come out. reasonably priced and sturdy too. worth it.
Great if you enjoy mario kart motion control May 6, 2008

The game, Mario Kart Wii, comes with one wheel. You have the option of using motion control(with or without wheel), numchuck + wii remote, or wii gamecube controller. The best piece of advice I can give someone is to try the motion controls on mario kart with the wheel provided with the game before you consider buying a second one. You will either love or hate the motion controls on this game so you should figure out what control configuration works best for you and those that live with you before making the decision to buy a second wheel. For instance, this game is played primarily by my girlfriend and myself. She prefers joystick control over motion control, so personally it would not make sense to spend the money for a second wheel. br /br /If your game didn't come with a wheel for whatever reason (used game purchase, etc.) read the rest of my review below....br /br /My review of the wheel itself.br /Build - seems to be pretty high quality, very sturdy and wii remote fits in the wheel pretty well. Higher quality build then the wii zapper. It is also a lot more comfortable to hold the wheel then using motion control without a wheel.(you can't use the wheel without motion control so again make sure you like the motion control first)br /br /Controls - The wheel is designed so that you have have very easy access to any of the buttons on the controller. It will work well for other wii motion racing games such as "excite trucks". The only thing that sometimes bothers me is that the B button in the back is pretty big, so sometimes you may accidentally hit the B button when setting the wheel down on a table. However, having the large B button on the wheel works well as far as game play goes.br /br /In the end, this product is a must buy if there is more then 1 person in your house that enjoys mario kart motion controls, or you would like to have a wheel for one of your other wii racing games.br /br /br /br /br /
Wii Wheel May 5, 2008

I am very glad I purchased an additional Wii Wheel for our Mario Kart game. Well worth the additional bucks.
 Ugh - I hate this thing May 5, 2008

I was so excited for Mario Kart for the Wii! I pre-ordered the game, and an extra wheel for my wife... The game did NOT disappoint - its a blast - the Wheel however, is a total waste... its soooo hard to use, you can't get nearly the right control out of it - the best way to play this game is with the remote and the nunchuck. Don't waste your money on this silly piece of plastic!!
 A nice themed holder to have for any racing fan... May 5, 2008

With the release of Mario Kart Wii, this new Wii Remote holder is going to be a hot item, especially if you are planning on racing against others in said game on your Wii.br /br /But lets face it, all it is, is a plastic holder that is shaped like a wheel that your remote snaps into. And thats all there is to this accessory. Its nothing more then a holder shaped like a wheel to house your remote to give you the feeling of using a steering wheel while you play a racing game. So realize that going into the purchase that its just that and nothing more.br /br /At least though the price is right and reasonable for the most part. This is not must get though as all the games this will be for I'm sure will play just fine without it. But it will add a little extra something that the already gimic like remote provides for the Wii. This just takes that remote factor an extra step by giving the illusion and feel of a wireless steering wheel that you can hold anywhere and use to race on a screen far away. br /br /The choice is really yours. If you want to have the feeling of playing a racing game on the Wii with a wheel in your hands, this will work quite well for that. If its not that big a deal to you and you are fine with either a classic controler or the wii remote and nunchuk, then this isn't that important a purchase to make. But I do think this adds something of a element to things that is worth the small one time investment it will be. br /br /Again its just a personal choice. Its just a plastic mold, when push comes to shove. But I think its fun device either way that is a nice addition to the Wii family of accessories.
