Wii - Any good?

PinkLady

Thank you... I think I might get one.. It will prob be best for me - am not v good at doing more than one thing at a time on the xbox!

Do I need to buy one extra control ?

Also - are the straps that attach the control to your wrist included? Don't want to be throwing it at the tele!

thanks

My boys love theirs. I got ours from Toys R us because it had a good deal with the games on it which was perfect for them.

I thiink as standard it comes with the console Wii sports, one handheld controller and one nun chuck. We bought a second hand controller so that both boys could paly together.

Since lots of places have it in stock now, may be worth shopping around.

Yeah, you'll need to buy an extra controller and maybe an extra nunchuck too (for the boxing action ) - the straps will come included...I think all of them should be the new "strong" ones now...the original consoles came with "weak" ones

My husband bought a Wii when they first came out and we have both come to the conclusion that the best game is the free tennis game on Wii Sports. We have tried lots of others through an online game rental service (this is a very good way of trying lots of games without shelling out £30-£40) and not found many that we liked (Red Steel was OK).

Having said that, we have had great fun playing playing some of the daft games with friends and family. As a previous poster said, it is not so good if you play on your own. It would probably be quite popular with young children because a lot of the games are quite babyish.
