My first experience with a Wii Options

[jonathan83]

I've been wanting a Wii for a long time now, and was planning on buying one in the next month or two. However, I had never actually seen one or played with one, I was just going off of what I'd read online and heard from other people. It just sounded really cool.

Well today I was at a friend's house who had one, and we played it. I played several different types of games... a WW2 flying game, tennis, baseball, and even some cheesy stuff that it comes with. Let me tell you, the only game I remotely enjoyed was the Tank game that came on the cheesy stuff (I think it's called Wii Play or something). Oh and tennis was alright.

I'd much rather play a game where I have more control and precision. There just isn't much detail in accuracy with the Wii..I mean it makes sense though, since it's all by movement and that all can't be 100% accurate. I'm sure practicing would make it a more enjoyable experience, but I just didn't have that much fun with it.

I think I'm just gonna buy a Blu Ray player instead...

You guys with Wiis...do you seriously enjoy them that much? Did I just play the wrong games?

There are tricks to the Wii. Wii sports is fun. I think it does have a fair amount of precision to it. I mean, in bowling, there are tricks to getting a strike every time. Tennis... I know people that are great at it, and I suck. I mean, it can be competitive because there are ways to perfect it. My roommate just got MarioKart for the Wii today. I don't know if it's any good, but I can here her and her friend playing it and it sounds like they are having fun. My husband and I have a Wii but we never play it. It's kinda one of those things that once you play it enough, you won't want to play it unless you have a bunch of people over. We are keeping it for when the baby gets old enough to play. That's really the only reason to have one for us right now.
