Topic: Mariokart Wii vs. Excitebots: Trick Racing

A few months ago, my sister influenced me to purchase Mariokart Wii instead of Excitebots: Trick Racing. She claimed that Mariokart Wii would be the better choice because she (and everyone we know) knew all of the characters, and it supported up to four players. In that regard, she may have been right. But what about the gameplay itself? Don't get me wrong, I love playing Mariokart Wii, and I do not regret purchasing it. However, I could not help but wondering if Excitebots: Trick Racing could provide something that Mariokart could not. Eventually, I ended up purchasing ExciteBots when I saw it on clearance at my local Target store. I then had a chance to experience both games. After a few weeks of playing both games, I concluded that I liked ExciteBots: Trick Racing more. Mariokart Wii had very familiar gameplay, with the main objective being to get first place in a race. ExciteBots reminded me more of an arcade game, since the main objective was to collect as many stars as possible. Getting first place didn't necessarily gaurantee a victory. I also enjoyed ExciteBots fast-paced and inventive gameplay. My question is: What do you think? Is Mariokart Wii the better game because of its recognizable characters, accessible gameplay, and four-player support, or is ExciteBots: Trick Racing the better game because of its break-neck speed and inventive use of in-race challenges?

Mario Kart. Excitebots is really fun as well but I suck at it.
