Nintendo Wii

[SWIL]

I had the opportunity to play this system for the first time at my bud's house this past weekend.

WOW.

Ground-breaking is the term that would best describe the Wii. I've never played anything like it. It's controls are going to revolutionize the industry.

The control looks more like a remote for your tv- and has a motion sensor at the tip of it. This allows you to use virtually your entire body to control what goes on in the game. I played the bowling game that came with the system, and it was actually like bowling a real ball.

I also played Red Steel- a first person shooter. It was very tricky starting out. I pretty much had to re-learn how to move nad look around.

The Wii worst flaw are its graphics... they are somewhere in between a 360 and a GameCube as far a power goes.

I think the immense fun that one can have playing the Wii out-weighs its weak graphics. It was almost like playing a video game for the first time all over again. I'm a believer now!eace2:

i would actually look at buying a wii if it wasn't for the controls. honestly, i have never played with the the system, but i hate the concept. i'd much rather have an analog controller.

If I want some excercise, I'll go out and jog or something. When I play video games, I don't want to move anymore than I have to.

My thoughts exactly.

You have to try it. Yes you can get more physical while using the controller. But you can also half ass it and play regular.

I felt the same way- but playing it completely changed my views on it.

If ya'll get a chance, try it!

 

[milohimself]

Aren't there other controllers available besides the motion one?

If it's any consolation, the girls that played it at the party loved it. Plus, I enjoyed seeing them bouncing around and "looking stupid" lol:
