it's a fooking great laugh after a few beers and you play the boxing, well all wii sports

resident evil 4 is awesome

mario and sonix olympics is good

the carnaval game is awesome, again even better when you've had a few drinks

marble madness is stupidly addictive

wii play is pretty rubbish, though what you expect for 2 quid

mario galaxy, i've only played once, though this is becuse the mrs has killed the 32" and 14 tv's 40" coming so will soon get back into it


there are sooooooooooo many good games, i think you just need to get into the mood,


and you cant compare it to the likes of the PS3 or xbox 360

wii tennis and bowling are brilliant! slight twist of the hand the wrong way and you're screwed! realistic enough for my liking!

as for tennis its not all the same. try swinging earlier or later and vary where the shot goes took me a while to realise you can change it about!

The 10 pin bowling in wii sports is brilliant,but dont buy the other 10 pin bowling game as its crap.
Lardypants,are you sure you have the reciever that goes on top of tv set up properly,as the controls are normally good.

regards mark

i think you just need to get used to the controls

I think you're expecting too much from it, especially the sports. It definitely isn't meant to compete with the X-Box and PS3

Me and the missus love 'em but at the end of the days, the sports games are aimed at a massive age range audience, so they can't be too complicated for younger kids etc

I dont think they are meant to be ultra realistic, just good fun. It is a lot more fun after a couple of beers

Give it a chance, I'm sure you'll get to like it, and im sure you'll get more enjoyment out of it once the kids get hold of it

Oh, and, close your blinds if you dont want anyone to see you

well got me Ł259 quid back

i have to admit i think you abive are right, its a play thing gsmes console that you play for the crack or if you have family over or pissed etc, given the fact the kids wouldnt play it i couldnt see the point as id rather play a ps3 etc.

so for me its a NO but i can understand why others think its a right laugh

Boxing is toss

Wii Tennis and Wii Bowling are two of the finest video games EVER made in my opinion. SOOOO much fun. Easy to play but VERY hard to totally master. The control you can put on the shots on the Tennis and the Bowling STILL amazes me. STUNNING! and such a giggle t the same time

AWESOME games.

Never ever turn my PS3 or Xbox360 on!!

Agree with Lee, the boxing is shit. Just like fencing is on Mario and sonic olympic games

Am fooking aching though from the running and javelin etc on Mario and sonic olympic games

The Wii absolutely rocks...

I chipped mine a few months back, so I can get to try games before I buy them

I quite like Wii play, how can you say that riding that cow that looks like its made of fabric not be fun. The shooting is cool as well..

I played Super Paper Mario for aaages, couldnt put it down, Metroid Prime 3 destruction is probably the most graphically impressive game at the mo on the Wii and also a good game..

Sonic & Mario Olympics is a good laugh as well, smarty pants is ok, but 2 MUST HAVE games on the Wii are Rayman Raving Rabbids 1 & 2, fucking hilarious!!!
