Positive Review

Reviewed by: sbrrgrr on 01-Jan-08

Strengths: Interactive gameplay is unrivaled by other consoles.

Weaknesses: Graphics output tops out at 480p, if you by component cables. Well short of the 1080i that is output by other platforms.

Summary: So far, so good. This makes you the coolest kid on your block. Everyone of all ages and of gaming ability has fun with this console. Online play and the ability to download old NES games (for a price) is pretty sweet.

Negative Review

Reviewed by: JenMuzik on 30-Dec-07

Strengths: great for kids and entertaining a group

Weaknesses: a little harder for the "older", not so computer literate folks. It's been out for a long time, although hard to get, the thrill of having it is gone.

Summary: Wii has been so hard to find I was tickeled when I did find it finally. However, I guess it took me too long, because it seems now that the family isn't as excited about it and would rather sell it and purchase something else. I think we've used it too many times at others homes and the thrill is gone.

Strengths: Very realistic play.

Weaknesses: Graphics not quite as good as XBox360 or PS3.

Summary: What a hit with everyone! Good family entertainment. Bowling is realistic. Golf - strokes are a bit touchy but easily mastered with practice and patience. Boxing is strenous but great fun.

Strengths: Product is very good at handling the remote interface.

Weaknesses: Cooling system design for setting up the Wii in the vertical position is poor. Need to add a cooling fan to ensure that the unit does not overheat!!!!

Summary: Console works very well and handles the interactive interface with remotes quite well. No problems to date and suggest you purchase remote charging battery packs so you won't wonder what's happening in the middle of a game when the batteries go weak.

Strengths: I was able to get the game at PriceGrabber when I couldn't find it anywhere else.

Weaknesses: none

Summary: The gift was great gift to the Grandchildren. They were so happy that they got it. Never dreamed that they would. Also got the games to go with it to.

Strengths: NONE

Weaknesses: will not work

Summary: purchased the WII, hooked it up all we got was feedback from the TV. Called Nintendo Support, they walked us thru the set up on 2 separate TV,s they said it must be bad unit. Contacted seller, he says we must pay for shipping back then they will decide what to do. This was a Christmas gift, now I wont know probably until after Christmas.

Strengths: Nice looking

Weaknesses: The price

Summary: This system is a gift for my 6 years old son for Christmas. I have no idea how it works. He wanted one and the price was what I was willing to pay. I like the convenience of shopping on-line as opposed to going to the mall.

Strengths: The kids I love it. I especially like it because the kids are not just sitting there, they are part of the action.

Weaknesses: Hard to find locally. Had to buy online and pay slightly more, but it was well worth it.

Summary: If your kids are going to have a video game, I would highly recommend the Wii. When we can't go outside this is great entertainment that either 1 - 3 can play. We are going to get one more control accessories to bring it up to four (4) players.

Strengths: Fun, social gaming.

Weaknesses: Game selection (though this is getting better).

Summary: As a fairly serious gamer, I was resistant to the Wii but got it for my wife who is a very casual gamer at best. I am glad I did! Even the Wii Sports game that came with it is incredibly addictive. The Wii performs best in a casual group setting among friends and family where everyone can get involved and have fun.
