Advantages: Fun to play

Disadvantages: Life of games can be short

I really looked forward to getting a Wii and on the whole I do think it is an excellent addition to the gaming consoles vailable however one thing I have noticed is that on the whole a lot of the games that I have seem not to take as long to either complete or to get bored with and this is quite annoying as game playing time and repeatability is an important factor given the rather large outlay on both console and games.

As a playing experience it is rather unique as in many games your movement of the remote controller has an impact on your character, most games consoles are sold with the basic Wii Sports which is an excellent starter game as you play such games as tennis or bowling and you get a feel for how to combine button pressing and the use of a joystick when you have the seperately sold nunchucks with the movement of the controller to carry out, in the case of tennis, you stroke play.

One thing I was disappointed with is the fact that you only get one controller given most games are multi player and also the fact that they tend to suck the life out of batteries so recharagable are well worh it, in fact I bought a recharging stand which the controllers can sit in while they are not being used.

Summary: Good console but not perfect
