Good: Free online gameplay

Bad: No Dolby Digital support

Comment: Nintendo have by far created a games console way ahead of it's time. I have previously owned a Xbox 360, which is the closest rival the Wii has got. Although the 360 may have Hi-Def graphics and games in Dolby 5.1 but who cares about that. The Wii is a Wii and nobody can take that away from it. No it doesn't play CDs and DVDs nor can you connect it up to your PC which you can do on both PS3 & 360. Overall the Wii is a must have product dispite a few things that aren't brilliant with it.

Good: Its BRILLIANT Fun!!!

Bad: Online Network is useless

Comment: Out of the 3 system i have, this is the one i play on the most. Its excellent fun & i actually lost weight on the Wii fit. I have a couple of the same games, one for xbox360 and one on my wii, when connected up with the high res cables, the graphics are still less smooth, but not a million miles off the xbox. & there ARE some serious games out there if u look

Good: The new experience

Bad: Nothing. All just fine with the product

Comment: Boyzzz! I wanna tell u this is the best product that nintendo has launched, an all new experience. I have PS3 and Xbox 360 too, but when I bought this product I was surprised that it is better than PS3 and Xbox 360. And if u don't believe me then check it ur self.

Good: "Playability" Fun for all

Bad: Only one controller, Not the best ever graphics

Comment: Where do I begin?

The Wii is amazing, I bought one just yesterday. As I opened the box I was really chuffed, I knew it was the exact thing I needed. As I unwrapped the Wii I realised just how small it is! Nintendo did well with this, and it is not much bigger than three DVD cases side by side. Better than those big ugly consoles! It took around just ten minutes to set up. Which was great! And then I played! After sorting out all of my settings, entering my name etc (which can be tricky when you first start using the controller) I started playing. I loved how you had all of the different "channels" which made it seem like lots of other things, and not just a games console. Wii sports is great, and it makes full use of the Wii controller. I also purchased a Tony Hawks game, which I have not mastered fully yet, as the controls are quite tricky. But all part of the learning curve. Also when I bought my pack (from Argos, UK) I also recieved a free accessories pack, which included extra things, to turn the controller into a "tennis racket" or "baseball bat" etc. The graphics aren't great, but they're not all that rubbish either. So why didn't I give it a 10? The reason is I think that the Wii should come with two controllers, or they should lower their prices for them. The reason for this is that most games for the Wii include great multiplayer options. Which is what the Wii is all about, right? I would however recommend this console to anyone, kids, oldies whoever, everyone can have some good family fun with it. So why not buy one, it isnt too expensive either!
