Mario Kart 8 for the Nintendo Wii U is the best-looking Mario Kart to date (and the first with HD graphics), thanks to some fantastic new and remixed tracks....
Abstract: Scroll down to the bottom for a video review. If there’s one word that can quickly sum up Nintendo’s latest entry in the Mario Kart series, it’s beautiful. From top to bottom, this is a gorgeous game, likely the best-looking one Nintendo has ever made....

Karts feel satisfying beneath your fingers, Courses provide plenty of opportunities for smart speed bursts, Wide assortment of interesting tracks, Emphasis on driving rather than fighting rewards skill, Challenging without feeling cheap
Battle mode is downright boring, Weak selection of characters
