Best Family Wii game ?

abdulawwal

Hi all,

I have a 4 year old son, my wife (33) and my mum (59) in our house. We only really play the family games and I have tried quite a few (especially through Lovefilm!). Below are the ones I decided to own, as they are brilliant!

SUPER MARIO KART:
Can't stop playing this! Is really good fun, and you never get bored. But really has to be played multiplayer for the full effect!

MARIO & SONIC AT THE OLYMPICS:
So many games and events to take part in. You'll find the every family member ends up having a favourite event, usually the one they beat everyone at!

BOMBERMAN WORLD:
Really good fun playing with family, young and old. Requires skill and also luck sometimes! Would definitely recommend this.

WII SPORTS:
Even though it comes with the Wii, we have never got bored with this!

As a single player game, and more for older kids, METROID PRIME 3 is amazing. Very immersive game.

Hope the above helps!

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games is an amazing game for the whole family to compete against each other, Mario Kart, Wii Fit, and Family Ski are all very good too.

I have to concur with Mario Kart and Olympic Games - these are the ones which, along with Wii Sports, get played most.

I've just pre-ordered Guitar Hero World Tour for them for Christmas as my eldest is singing mad, two youngest are guitar mad and OH wants to be a drummer so they're all sorted with this. It does say 12+ on it and my eldest is only 10 but my techie brother (god bless 'im) says they'll be fine on it and love it lol.

My top game is Guitar Hero 3, but is only 2 player, however GH World tour is out next week which is 4 player

Mario Kart
Mario and Sonic at the Olympics

Wii Sports is great fun too. My mum even plays bowling.

we love wii fit (i dare you not to laugh at the hula hooping!) wii play - and the extra controller comes in handy, big brain - very competative, rayman ravin rabbits - really funny, especially the singing one where you slap them!! and mario party 8 is very family friendly. weve got mario kart for my son for xmas - cant wait to try it

the wii is great for families, i have a son whose 8 and theres me and his dad and we love it - even our one year old joins in laughing at us!!

Smarty Pants is a great quiz game, as it asks questions based on your set age. Should be good fun...

I personally wouldn't rate Wii Fit as a family game - although I do love it as a personal thing.

Best family game IMHO would be Mario and Sonic. DH and I had great fun a few weeks ago laughing at each others techniques much to my amusement!!

We have a Wii at work and this is the most popular game that people play - I sit opposite the Wii.

Also good is Mario Kart but you would need extra controllers and for the best effects steering wheels for multi play
