Matt - is your arm killing from playing the game or from your missus punching you in the arm every time you won???

Yes its very easy to get "itno the swing of it" when playing those Wii sports games... my kids end up ducking, diving and swinging all over the place when they have a go on it....

They are only 5 and 4 years old - but damn they are good at the bowling and the boxing... I just spend the whole time shouting at them 'cos they're always either edging towards the screen and missing it by millimetres trying to knock each other out or they are knocking into furniture while diving over to get the long ball on the tennis...


... of course once they are tucked up in bed me and the missus are exactly the same

the only balls up they made3 was not supplying enough quick enough.
ebay was full of these at least £40 more than new price for 2nd hand
hence some people gave up but they where wrong too.
i know a mate went from xbox 360 to ps3 and now has wii and not looked back
early games are a little lame BUT the new ones are on !
