Mario Kart Wii: Fun, But Frustrating

MK Wii, while fun, still has it's moments of frustration. And by "moments of frustration," I mean "most of the single-player experience." The A.I. is just downright cheap, mucking up your efforts and unavoidably messing up the race for you. Coupled with a lack of things to do, the single-player is mainly a conduit for unlocking things, like characters and vehicles.
Speaking of characters, it's sad that Nintendo is really scraping the bottom of the barrel for them, even though there are many great, unused characters that would work here (like Popple and Fawful from Superstar Saga).
Despite these complaints, MK Wii is still reliably fun. Beware, though: it's a multiplayer game first, and a single-player game second.
