A great console for young and old.September 27, 2008 Josh Foot(NC) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Wii is a very innovative and unique console. It's great for any age. I highly recommend it for anyone who owns a television.

I put off buying a Wii for a long time. We're adults, in our 50's and not really gamers other than solitaire on the computer. I figured it was mostly for kids or that it was too cartoony and it wouldn't get used. I even left it in the box for 4 days because I thought I might bring it back. When I finally decided to keep it I put off "installing" it because I thought it might be complicated and take a long time. It was only 3 clearly marked cords to hook to the back of the TV and into the unit, and the sensor into the unit.
Well, it took me about 5 minutes to hook it up (It would have taken 3 but I had to crawl around back of the TV stand) and as soon as we started it up I could see it was something we were going to like. Bowling was the first thing I tried and couldn't believe how realistic it was. I even have the same hook on the ball that I do in real life. After that it was tennis, then baseball, then golf and boxing. I was surprised at how much exercise the tennis and boxing provided. It was definitely a fun thing to play with.
Two nights later we had friends over, 12 people in all and the people from across the street wanted to see the Wii. I put on the bowling game, got 4 volunteers to play and that was it for the night. Everyone was screaming when someone got a spare or a strike and they went on to play tennis, baseball, golf and boxing. Fortunately dinner was stuff that could be served buffet style because everyone was gathered around the TV watching or playing the games, with plates their laps or at the kitchen table which has a clear view of the family room. Two of the people ended up buying Wii's the following week.
I'm mostly into it for the exercise aspect and we've gotten the Wii Fit and the Outdoor Challenge which are both great. But there are lots more games that "get you up off the couch" coming out and now having tried a few, I can't wait to get them. Two thumbs up for this game console!
The Best SystemSeptember 26, 2008 M. V. Fumero(miami,fl USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I say that cuz its the most innovative and to some extent, the most fun. You cant play multiplayer with the same way as the Wii. Making it a party favorite. The Wii takes gaming to the next level with the infamous Wiimotes. Its amazingly fun and everyone will want to play. I say that this is my favorite system and the best system overall. Xbox360 has the slightly better graphics, PS3 has the overall better games, Wii has the fun and different factor of playing with a whole bunch of friends. Wii wins.
Innovative and Fun SystemSeptember 25, 2008 Mac4Life(CT) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Talk about a deal in video games! The Wii sets the tone for the "next generation" of games without really changing their graphical output. Instead Nintendo used innovation in the controller to take the same image quality to the next level. They filled a niche with this system that many didn't know existed. The Wii Sports game that came with the system is a lot of fun, although grows repetitive over time. I was quickly able to bring my Wii Fitness Age (a feature of the game) down below my actual age. The boxing, tennis and bowling are all excellently done. The baseball and the golf are inferior in my opinion, but they were free with the system so I won't complain. If you can find one, pick a Wii up, even if you have any of the other next-gen systems. This will only compliment it.
