The Wii is absolutely amazing. When you first pick up the controller and see the hand cursor following your EXACT moves it's almost scary how acurate is! The games are fabulous but they do take a couple of minutes get used to. The Mii Channel is fun, and lots of the games are cool. I was first in line to get mine
and left with it 7 minutes early on my watch but the cashier's watch said 12:00 so it was cool. By the time I got home (I'm lucky I live so close to a Gamestop!) it was 12:02 on my house's clock. It was awesome. I played for 2 hrs. and was instantly hooked. Try out the console in your game store, you have to play it to believe it.
Set up of the Wii:
I did it very quickly and only had to consult the manual once or twice. The Wii is VERY small. It's only like 8 or 9 inches high and it is THIN. It rocks though. A CD is pretty much the size of 3/4 of it.
These are the games I got and a brief description on what is good about them:
Red Steel
Have only played a bit of it but it's pretty cool. It's a bit hard to control your aim at first but you get used to it after a few minutes. A little confusing at first but as far as I can tell it's gonna be a fun one.
Wii Sports
VERY FUN! VERY EASY TO PLAY! I literally got playing within minutes. Lots of fun for the first hour then the novelty starts to wear off. I played it again today (an hour ago as opposed to 12 in the morning) with a friend. It was even more fun then. Tennis is probably one of the best with close runners up being bowling. Boxing isn't as fun as you'd think it'd be, baseball is pretty fun, golf is fun but I suck at it.
Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz
VERY FUN! I like this one a lot. I also like how there are 50 mini games. Some of the fun ones (that I've played) are Disc Golf and Snowboarding. The Wiimote works perfectly with this title.
Excite Truck
CRAZY! I've crashed more in this game than I ever have in a game before. I only played 4 times and I crash SOOOO much! It's fun though. It's just fast, FAST, crash-infested, OCTANE fueled, fun.
The controls take a little while to get used to but not very long. After the first or second race you'll be pretty comfortable with it. (But you'll still crash!
)
Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess
I have not played this yet because I want to allot a LOT (
) of time to play this one. It looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING though.
If you have any questions just ask....
