Nintendo Wii?

I got a wii for xmas and i find it quite fun, a cricket game would be good, but I also have a Ps2 so i go ont hem half and half, the wiis are also now a lot safer with wii jackets that give a lot more grip, and hip it does come out of your hand it probs wont smash anything, also theyve made new loops for your wrists which dont snap easily, the best game for the wii, though, is so obviouly the mario an sonic at the olympics

It's not on the wii, he said it was like a wii.

it will be better if the bring out a Cricket 2008 or something like that. And By the way now Brian Lara has retired who is taking his place with the games

I have played a few games on the wii, with friends they are fantastic, a great laugh. on your own there are only one or two games worth playing, like zelda. It's innovative and a different direction to the rest of the market which is just chasing power and graphics. single player may become more exciting when the online stuff gets going.

I personally like the Wii. I'd like to know whether those criticising it have played one? The remote works very well with non-party, or "serious" games. It adds a new dimension, but you certainly get a greated feeling of control, and it really adds to the gaming experience.   This coming from a somewhat "serious" gamer.

I thought the Nintendo wii was a joke I was watching South Park the other day whee cartman desperately wanted the wii so he froze himself and went 500 years into the future.

What about Xbox 360?

Your mom is right, DF. PS3 is expensive at the moment, prices will go down after few months, so WII is the good choice for right now.

Yeah, theres a lesson to be learnt there as well though, don't wave slippy lumps of plastic around whilst drunk.

Right, Slogger, need to be more cafeful with those, or you could just sit on your bed and play or place somewhere it wouln't break if dropped.

Apparently the "wands" are very slippy and there have been hundreds of cases of them slipping out of people's hands and smashing their TVs, windows etc.

They've actually made a cricket game for PS2 where you get a mini plastic bat and ball. Apparently it's rubbish though.

The nintendo wii looks more like a gimmick than a games console to be honest, it's probably aimed at young kids.

Aye, it is a stumbling block. But if you're serious about gaming, the Xbox or PS3 is definitely the one to go for.

 I don't see the point of buying a Nintendo Wii. Yeah it'd be great for parties, but can you imagine how said it'd be to be standing in the middle of a room waving a stick at the TV (and not the TV remote like usual).You'd only use it about once/twice a month at best. Go with Xbox 360 or the PS3 out next March in England hopefully. The second is my preferred choice.
