 Biggest Waste of Money |
| Review Date: March 11, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Justin Beerup, |
First let me say, do not waste your money. If you buy this you are paying $200 to have an ugly piece of white plastic sit unused on your entertainment center.
It should be obvious that it is a terrible system when the best game (Wii Sports) comes with the system. It is the best game (at 1 star in my opinion) and sadly it loses it appeal after about an hour. What really saddens me is that when you get the Wii and spend all this time on a Mii you find out later it is basically usless in all other games.
The graphics are not much better than the PS2, well worse actually, and the gameplay is worse. What really angered me was the controller. At first it is fun waving your arms around like an idiot but after a while you just wants to sit down and play a video game. But it is impossible to play sitting down. SO when I am feeling lazy the Wii is not an option. And for those of you that think the Wii Fit will make you skinny.... Read the Game Informer review online. They did a study and found out the Wii Fit is nothing more than a glorified way to spend a bunch of money and get nothing in return. The whole set up of the game prevents you from building up your heart rate due to having to selct a different excercise from the menu everytime. What they discovered is people do not get healty playing Wii fit. All they are doing is playing a game in which they are standing up and leaning over every know and then.
The games, oh the games. I love games but when I go to shop for a Wii game I can not find a single one that is worth anything. I have bought a few and they are all lame, even Mario Kart Wii. The games seem as if they were made by 11 year olds. Seriously, if you consider yourself a gamer think of the Wii as one of those electronic handheld football games you see in the toy isle at Tiys R Us, the Wii is a lttle less fun then those.
Even the games that are on other consoles that are on the Wii are terrible. Madden 10 looked like Tecmo Bowl fro NES and played worse. I had to do a milk the cow motion at a hundred miles an hour just to do a running play. After a quarter I was sick of moving my arms and bored by the terrible visuals.
I was so excited when I got this because I believed th hype. I had it for six monthes and never bought a game because everyone I rented was boring. Even my little brother was bored by all the games. It sat by my tv for six monthes and every now and then my Girlfriend would say, "Want to Play the Wii?" and I would always think about it and become bored just thinking about it. Overall we played it twice. After six monthes I took it to GameStop and they gave my $60 for it. I paid $260.00 and I still though I was getting a good deal. If they solf he Wii for 10 dollars I would still think Iwas getting ripped off.
I traded mine in for a PS3. Best decison I ever made.
I beg of you. Do not make my mistake. Buy a different console. Besides, in a few monthes all consoles will have movment controllers. |

| To put this in perspective I am 81. When I was first introduced to this game my thought was, this is for children. When I started playing the tennis game I found I was getting an enjoyable aerobic workout. I have since purchased my own Wii sports package game and have truly enjoyed the game and the health benefits derived from it. I would highly recommend this for all ages. The only reason I rated the game over all at 4 stars is that I wish they had made the game so it could be played one on one as well as they have it now with two people on each side. |
Fantabulous

| The Wii was in perfect condition and I received it very quickly. I was looking in all the stores to find a Wii and after all that all i had to was spend 4min on Amazon. |
