The Nintendo Wii turned out to be a pleasant surprise. We bought it for my 8 year old daughter for her birthday and everyone loved it. We play it weekly as a family. The games are a bit expensive but some of them come with multiple games included.

Perfect for families who like to play together! If you want crazy graphics get a PS3 or Xbox. But for all round family fun/ game-play this is the best!

I know, it's been around for 2 years or so. At least I didn't pay the more than $200 prices that it was going for when it was first released. What more can I say which hadn't been said about this machine. It's superb and it's certainly the most revolutionary way of playing video games that one can imagine.

If you don't have one, buy one!

Games:

I would only recommend the Wii to people with young children (13 and under) or people that want a game system just for fun when they have company. The Wii lacks games for hardcore gamers. It doesn't get the majority of multiplatform games that the 360 and PS3 do because of its weak hardware. Most 3rd party titles are a joke. The 1st party games are fun, but the same that we've seen for years. Aside from Super Mario Galaxy, its the same old Mario Party, Zelda, Metroid Prime, Mario Kart, etc that have been around for years. It's like a Gamecube with motion controlls. I did love Mario Galaxy, one of the best games so far this gen. Other then that though, pickins are slim. With games like Assassin's Creed, Bioshock, Oblvion, Fallout, Soul Calilber, Street Fighter, Burnout Paradise, Modern Warfare, and so many more that are on PS3 or 360, the choice is clear. Also keep in mind 360 and PS3 both have awesome exclusives of their own. The one saving grace for the Wii is it does have access to download (for way too much money) old school games.

Hardware:

The hardware is very weak, almost last gen. It does have full backwards compatiblity for the gamecube which is nice. The console itself seems well built. No red rings of death here. Lack a lot of memory, but does have SD expandable memory. Motion Control.

Online:

Online play is a joke. Friend codes, no voice, etc.
