Review:

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!
