I know I may be raining down on the whole hype of Mario Kart Wii when I say this, but the graphics are fairly disappointing. I know the game is still in its early stages and improvements can be made from here to release, but from the other games that Nintendo has released on the Wii I was convinced that the Wii could have great graphics if you put time into it. However after looking at Mario Kart Wii I'm starting to fell as if Nintendo let me down.
Mario Kart Wii looks almost exactly like Mario Kart: Double Dash and is my first point. If Nintendo is just using that game's graphics as basis for Mario Kart Wii I shall be pretty upset.
Overall show isn't using it's full potential. After looking at some gameplay footage the movement of characters and fluid action looks...well, bad. When I saw Mario pull a wheelie he looked like he went up, and back down. No action of him leaning up or no animation of him going back down. It seemed the angle of the Motorcycle is all that changed. This is the same with stunts in mid-air, no animation, just a quick motion.
So right now I'm slightly disappointed with Mario Kart Wii. I know there is some time before release so my mind can change easily, but I really hope I see improvements.
