First let me say, do not waste your money. If you buy this you are paying $200 to have an ugly piece of white plastic sit unused on your entertainment center.
It should be obvious that it is a terrible system when the best game (Wii Sports) comes with the system. It is the best game (at 1 star in my opinion) and sadly it loses it appeal after about an hour. What really saddens me is that when you get the Wii and spend all this time on a Mii you find out later it is basically usless in all other games.
It is a money trap:
There are so many peripherials it is ridiculous and somehow Nintendo manages to make so that we almost have to buy these at extra cost just to make the gameplay somewhat enjoyable.
You got Mario Kart and want to play, you have to get a wheel to go around the controller.
You want to play golf? You are conned into buying a attachment that makes your controller more “accurate”
Which is funny because in most games you can try to play it and be all serious and use strategy, all th while your 6 year old nephew is waving his arms randomly like he forgot his ritilan and he still beats me in games. I began to discover that the games really arn’t calibrated for strategy but really just for movement. In most game you can move your arms aimlessy and with no direction and the results would be the same as if you actually tried. SO what fun is that? I want challange and skill to play a factor. What is the point if the effort you put in does not have any effect on your gameplay. It really is a cheat.
The graphics are not much better than the PS2, well worse actually, and the gameplay is worse. What really angered me was the controller. At first it is fun waving your arms around like an idiot but after a while you just wants to sit down and play a video game. But it is impossible to play sitting down. SO when I am feeling lazy the Wii is not an option. And for those of you that think the Wii Fit will make you skinny…. Read the Game Informer review online.
