Chapter 1 - Hardware stuff, and a few tips.
Gameplay- PROS. The Wiimote is very unique and fun because of it gives u a great feeling you're in the game. And does the balance board. Buttons work well(10 total) Having multiplayer is a blast! Perfect for partys. Also the upcoming motion-plus accessory looks promising to be fun. CONS.The speaker should have better sound quality. Numchuck should have a rumble. Maybe more buttons Games- PROS. There are A LOT of games to be on the Wii. Right now there are 100s. CONS.A lot of them are for kids sadly but there's many teen to mature games too. You may think there must be a bunch of good games, but actually... there's not. Bunch of BS minigame games.
Graphics-PROS. Some games are much better then GC, XB, and PS2. Has some games with 360 like graphics like Mario Galaxy, The Conduit, and Brawl. CONS-Lots of Wii games are the same or much worse than PS2 or Xbox, or even Dreamcast graphics(pointing at 3rd parties). Heck some look like N64 games. It's sad that from seeing what the Wii can do with Mario Galaxy, other developers aren't taking advantage of the graphics. Also if you seem to only care about awesome graphics on a 1080p TV, this ain't the system you're looking for. Comparing SDTV to HDTV- If you do get a HDTV, make sure you get HD componet cables because the Wii's graphics will look ugly with a SD cable. On a SDTV, it looks pretty nice.
Should u wait to get one?- Not really. I doubt the Wii will come with anythings special anytime soon, the only change right now are updates that you can download anytime. Perhaps a hard drive will be announced at E3.
Are they still hard to find?- These days they are much more easier to find than when I got it in early 2007. It'll probably take you a couple weeks to get one.
Reliable?-Pretty much yes but I would suggest a warrenty. Mine hasn't freezed too much, mainly when I'm playing online.
Some Suggestions- you may want to get a Wiimote charger or rechargeable batteries cuz the Wiimotes up batteries within 20 hours.
The best games you'll find on the Wii...-Super Smash Bros Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart Wii, Zelda Twilight Princess, Okami, Gutair Hero 3 and World Tour, Rock Band 2, The Conduit, Madworld No More Heroes, Metroid Prime 3, Wii Fit, Super Paper Mario, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Battlion Wars 2, Zach and Wiki, and DDR Hottest Party.Crappiest games... - Almost any game based off a TV show or movie, about 80% of 3rd party games, and the games thhat I've owned that suck are NFS Carbon, and Madden 08. What stinks is after Madworld and The Conduit come out, don't expect any good 1st party games for a long time. I'm wating to see what happens at E3 this year. If I'm not satisfied with the conference, I'm selling my Wii for a 360. Seriously.
Online Play, features and channels- next chapter.
My final scores Gameplay 8.5/10 Graphics 6.8/10 Games 7/10 Overall 7.8/10
Before I updated with the not so good scores, I have had a PS3 since summer 2008 and it has been MUCH more enjoyable than the Wii. The Wii has been collecting dust time to time. I have mainly been playing my Wii Ocrina of Time and that's about it. Also I do play MK Wii online sometimes. But the Wii's biggest games like Brawl don't have much replay value thanks to Nintendo's bad online service. Hopefully Nintendo can do something this E3 to save me from switching to a 360. 2nd chapter to be updated soon.
Thanks for reading!
