 the best game console ever October 6, 2008
I think this is the best game console ever. I have had others in the past but none measure up to the Wii. The controls are easy to use and the games are alot of fun. It is one of the few game consoles that does not turn players into couch potatoes. :)
This is a great thing for kids to play with September 28, 2008

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 wish I would have gotten it sooner September 27, 2008

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 System September 26, 2008

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.
