White Nintendo Wii

Cons: The console is simple to setup and very easy to use.

The Bottom Line: Buy it you'll love it just as much as your children.

Review: I bought a Wii for my kids in February 2007. They are 8 & 12 yrs old. They love this console. They are both able to use it to the same level. My daughter really enjoys building Mii’s and making them look as close to the player as possible. My ...

Pros: cheapest console, family friendly, unique gameplay experience, lots of potential, backwards compatible

Cons: dumping ground for shovelware, poor third party support, virtually no online multiplayer, lack of storage

The Bottom Line: It's a great console with lots of potential, but is lacking in several key areas and suffers from a large number of shovelware titles.

Review: As a huge gamer, I have all 3 of the current generation of consoles. I have had the Wii since launch, and it is a great system. Initial Cost: It's the cheapest home console on the market. It's also a more complete system out of the box then ...

Pros: fun fun fun, multiplayer, addicting

Cons: addicting, limited games, gimmicky

The Bottom Line: Absolutely worth your money. If you can find one, buy one.

Review: I don't know of any gaming system that can bring together people of all ages. My favorite game on the Wii is the Zelda; fun to play, it feels like you have a sword in your hand, provides hours (and I mean it will take you weeks to finish the game). ...

Pros: Easy to use and fun to play.

Cons: Need more physical games without having to buy a Wii Board.

The Bottom Line: If you like interactive games, this is a terrific purchase. It'll bring hours of fun and entertainment.

Review: After much debating, my wife and I decided to get a Wii console with the understanding that the games we'd buy required movement and action, not just sitting on the couch. Because of the popularity of the product, I had to call stores around my area ...

Pros: Fun and easy for just about everyone! Highly recommended.

Cons: Not enough truly original games unique to the Wii yet.

The Bottom Line: Great new product. Highly recommended!

Review: Everyone keeps telling me they haven't been able to buy the Nintendo Wii in stores, that they are always out-of-stock. I've found it's true they don't stay in stock long, but It's kind of become a fun pasttime for me to find and buy at least 1-2 ...

Pros: Interactivity, movement, fun family titles, Guitar Hero :)

Cons: No HiDef output, graphics not as refined as other platforms

The Bottom Line: The best console out there for family fun and interactivity, by far!

Review: I've been a loyal Nintendo fan since the original NES, but I have played many other systems (from the original Sega to the Dreamcast, PS1 to XBOX 360). The Wii is by far the most fun that you can have with a gaming console! The graphics are not quite ...

Pros: This bundle is/has been available and you get a ton of stuff of your choosing.

Cons: $$$ Surprise verification phone calls. SSBros. game/console issue.

The Bottom Line: I recommend this for 2 reasons: Availability and because you're going to end up buying all this stuff eventually, why not now?

Review: OK, so everyone and their mother has reviewed this system, so I'll spare you another few paragraphs on how it's innovative, gets you off the couch, but isn't HD and doesn't play DVDs. The benefits and issues with this thing are pretty well known by now, ...

Pros: Any age can find a game they can enjoy.

Cons: The price of the games and remotes are a little steep.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this product as a great rainy day activity that your whole family can enjoy.

Review: Nintendo Wii is a great way to get your gamer off the couch and moving. We had a GameCube, but I didn't like the monotonous sitting on the couch with only my fingers moving. I purchased the Wii sports package and we all have a ball. My 67 year old in ...

Pros: Great Starter Game Easy to Play Easy to Transport

Cons: Hard to find Lack of Multi-Player Interactive Games

The Bottom Line: Best game system for fun, user-friendly games to get active and entertain family and friends.

Review: After much searching, I purchased the Wii after playing the Wii Sports game it comes with at a friend's house. Since, I have been asked to bring it with me whenever visiting family and friends and has been the main source of entertainment for many get ...

Pros: Exercise while playing!

Cons: Still in front of the boob tube.

The Bottom Line: Keep kids moving and reduce childhood obesity.

Review: I am a Mom and a doctor. I am not a big endorser of ANY video game. I honestly feel that video games are one of the biggest causes of childhood obesity. Children of today are used to sitting in front of the boob tube watching TV or playing video games ...
