    I must say the Nintendo Wii was a great idea when it came out - a sort of games console for the non-games market. I had mainly sports games on it and found it thoroughly enjoyable. Unlike other games consoles I've had (ps2, megadrive etc) I dont think Ive ever played it on my own - its a very socialable games consoles and I only used to get it out when friends came round.

    That's the good stuff.

    The bad points are that it doesnt work that well any more! The handsets dont connect very well, it sometimes restarts itself for no reason and sometimes doesnt come on at all. I've still given it 3 stars as its a cracking console, but its a shame that it breaks so easy - and outside of warantee, which is always annoying!

    The Nintendo Wii is a fantastic and fun gaming console, for all the family! The range of games suit everyone's needs, from the more experienced serious gamer, to the occasional user who wants to have a bit of fun.

    What i particularly like about the Wii is the interactivity you have with the games. Whether you're playing tennis with a friend, shooting an enemy with the gun, or rocking to some great songs with a bunch of mates, the accessories included with most games actually make you really f ...

    A great fun games machine. My 4 year old can use the games and especially loves the wii fit! It works well, is fairly quick to load.

    Nintendo Wii is a really fun console, a nice change from the more serious gaming experiences and a real party toy!! Lots of games avaiable now, only problem is the price but I got mine free from www.gadget4free.com so I don't mind too much!! Really recommend it!

    We purchased a Wii and Wii Fit for our children (10, 12 & 15 yrs old) as a Christmas gift... about 15 hours of use later, the console died. I have been reading more and more about the Wii console having "issues" and I wonder how it is that they were able to charge so much for something that, literally, worked for only 15 hours of use?!!! We are waiting for our "fixed" console to arrive via UPS! We will see how long it will work this time!
    I am a disappointed Wii owner (until they return it t ...

    Overall my kids like the Wii although my eldest seems to keep going back to his Xbox. Easy to use, small, connects wifi easily, games limited especially for older teenagers, mine are 14/16 both get quite bored after a while.
    If the PS3 was cheaper would have one of those instead, not recommended unless you have younger children, DS users will like.

    I like the way you can play all different kind of games on the nintendo wii console
    It is really good for kids but kids under seven years of age well i do not suggest to be played with
    Well recommend the Nintendo Wii as I personally can not think of any bad points to mention about this games console.

    The Wii is a very fun console. The movement feature is also great. If you have the correct games, the wii is the best gaming console ever made in my opinion, the only problem with the wii is that it doesn't have a lot good games. Most games are pathetic. Also graphics could be better.

    I advise you to not get a Nintendo Wii yes they are fun, but after the first few weeks it gets very boring, If your looking for a good console get either an Xbox 360, or a Playstation 3. They don't have a very good range of games, it gets very boring. Its not very good for racing games only sports games that use the motion senser. Its would be amazing if they got a better range of games like Gta and stuff and brought out a better controller for racing games and the original isnt a very comfortab ...

    Graphics are OK. Good console to occupy the kids. The cost, AU $394 that's one bad point, wii accessories are also expensive, I seem to be forever buying accessories for the thing, AU$29.00 Nunchuck/Wii remote AU$69.95. Not a cheap console to maintain, games are not cheap either.

    Great toy. Very fun and also very active. They make it seem way cooler than it really is. The console didn't really work the best. Gets really boring after a few weeks after you bought it if you don't buy another game, well recommend the nintendo wii.

    Lets be honest the wii is a phase.....

    No-one actually buys the wii too play seriously...
    It's a toy too show off really than actually play in my opinion....
    I have one, The Graphics are terrible compared too my Xbox 360 or my mates PS3. The only fun game I have found is Sports which was a free-be when you get the wii.

    No other game have actually personally interested me for about more than half an hour.

    Sorry but people must be told and actually invest money into a serious console, not some ...

    The Wii is a fun console and is worth buying, even when playing alone it's still fun. Also when you have played GameCube you can play all those games on the Wii and with the GameCube controller. But if you wanna play FPS games I would recommend an Xbox 360. The Wii is for games like Zelda and other Nintendo exclusive games.

    Great graphics and what an awesome way to spend family time. Almost all ages can enjoy this fun and dynamic way of interacting. The response times are amazing and the games are fun.
    I am not a game console fan but do think the Wii is fantastic. Now that they've added wrist straps the whole venture is a bit safer and just lots of fun.

    The Wii is an amazing console, I'm lucky enough to own all 3 next gen consoles. The Wii easily can hold its own in the market as you alright know. Wii controls, fun and unique experience is awesome. the official Nintendo Games like Zelda, Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3 and Wii Sports are amazing games that show the Wii in it amazing form. the value for money is the best on the market.Bad points are the Network, the shop is good but only 3 games are online as far as i know. 3rd party games are rub ...

    Fun for all of the family, and good for exercise too. 3rd party games show that the graphics aren't poor, just not used so much for the standard games.
