| Editorial Review: Product Description: Wii (pronounced 'we') is Nintendo's new home video game console that represents a radical step into a new era of entertainment. For years, video games have been growing in popularity but also in complexity. With Wii, Nintendo changes the way you play by maximising the fun and minimising the fuss. The Wii console makes you feel less like a player and more like you're in the game. Frenzied sword battles are no longer confined to pushing a button. With Wii's unique Wii Remote controller, Nintendo puts you in the middle of the action. Forget about pushing a button to start a golf backswing. Wii lets you swing the club! Don't push a button to swing a sword, actually swing the sword. Video games have always been a part of you, now you get to be a part of them. Step up to the next level of gaming. Over time, gaming has become overwhelming to people. The Wii console returns gaming to simpler times while innovating game development at the same time. The unique Wii Remote gives parents and grandparents a chance to play games with their children. It gives gamers and traditional non-gamers a chance to share the same experiences in this new generation of gaming. For those who grew up with video games, Wii shows that games have not outgrown them. Amazon.co.uk Review - Wii Sports: In a nutshell: As if the idea of five games in one package didn't sound a good enough deal on its own the Wii's best multiplayer compendium comes free with the console. The lowdown: Clearly realising that they need to provide some quick and obvious reasons why the Wii Remote is such a good idea Nintendo have packed in this compilation with the console, which includes simple versions of tennis, golf, baseball, bowling and boxing. The four player tennis game is the obvious stand out as you swing the Remote exactly as you would a real tennis racket, with the game seeming to almost magically interpret your movements into the game. All the other games work in a similar way, as you hold the Remote like a golf club or ready it like a baseball bat - you can even use it to gently roll bowling bowls and add some subtle aftertouch. The graphics make be purposefully basic but these are the games to instantly prove why the Wii is going to be such a revolution. Most exciting moment: While even Wii Tennis can be played with very minor movements of the Wii Remote the boxing game actively encourages you to act things out properly. You hold up both the Remote and the nunchuck to simulate your two hands and then duck and weave as you switch between trying to pummel your opponent and dodging or blocking their own attacks. Since you ask: You can use your own customised Mii Channel character in any of the games for that personal touch. The idea was originally just a joke featuring caricatures of Nintendo's top brass for a press conference, but it proved so popular that Nintendo ensured anyone could make their own character to play with. The bottom line: Five of the best games on the Wii and they all come free with the console!-HARRISON DENT |

Rating:  - Really, really pleased.When I seen this offer on the Wii Console and Wii Sports, it was unbelievable I couldn't miss the opportunity, the price was just amazing. Arrived I think it was round 5 days. Well worth the wait. The Wii Sports only had 5 games on it, got a little boring after awhile. But can't complain for the price I paid. I've not seen a wii console and wii sports for the price I paid since. I think I was at the right place at the right time. Just shows you "can" pick-up a bargain. Thank you Cash ... Read More Rating:  - A great fun console, but in need of an updateFirstly, let me just say that I think the Nintendo Wii is brilliant! I believe that there is a Wii game for everyone eg. everyone can have a bash at tennis on the Wii sports game. Lots of games here work really well (Resident Evil 4 is far superior on the Wii compared to it's other incarnations) but more often than not I have been dissapointed by how well the Wiimote (Wii controller) actually captures my movement. (I feel like the PS3's new 'Move' system may well surpass the functionality of the Wii, ...

Rating:  - Too many flawsWhen the wii came out people said it would be a reveloution but now it inot for the following reasons.1.The games are all completely overhyped and generally fun for an hour then they go away.2.The graphics are awful and look like they are from the ps2 despite being next gen. And finally it is now being overtaken by sony and ms whith move being hd more presice than wii motion plus as well a being blu ray and a entertainment hub. Rating: - Lots of fun for all the familyThis console is great fun for everyone. Teenagers can play games on their own and also everyone in the family can get involved at different levels, particularly in the sporting games. We have found it is a good excuse to get a group of friends around and have a silly evening of laughing, with a good dose of competition thrown in. Of course, the success of a console depends on the games you buy but start with the games that are thrown in with the various packages and then you can get a feel for what ... Read More |
