Oh my. This post will either be extremely short (so we can go back to playing it!) or incredibly long (to do it justice). We LOVE the Wii.
Greatest graphics? Nope
Most realistic action? Nope
Amazingly fun and engaging? Absolutely.
It was on from around 11AM (when we hooked it up Christmas morning) until about midnight that night. Everyone from child to grandparent (including those who've never endeavored to try a video game in spite of many opportunities with plenty of PS2s, Xboxs, etc.) was up and playing. Just awesome to witness. And plenty of laughter for everyone. Almost as much fun to watch as to play.
The sports games that come with it appealed to everyone. We also got Rayman, Excite Truck, Tony Hawk, and Madden Football. All have been winners so far.
OK, I'm going into withdrawal. Need to get back to the action. If only I could bowl, golf, play tennis, etc as well in real life!
