White Nintendo Wii Console Bundle including Wii Sports + Need For Speed Carbon

Nintendo's little white box takes innovation to the next level with it's state of the art motion sensing technology allowing you to interact more with the games you play.

The tiny little white unit sits neatly alongside your TV or DVD player and is only as big as 3 DVD cases stuck together, Everything feels sturdy and polished with the Wii, no cheap plastic feeling like there was on the PS2 or the PS3 pads.

Now that the Wii is in it's 2nd year better titles are begging to appear with better graphics, slicker, tighter controls and great storylines.
Theres an awful lot of shovelware out there for the Wii such as the Popcorn Arcade range but looking past these cheap mindless productions true quality games are available, Battalion Wars 2, Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Zack and Wiki, Legend of Zelda, No More Heroes and many more with more to come.

The bottom line is this isn't a fad or a gimmick this is a new way to play for everyone with casual gamers, harcore gamers, children and your nan catered for.

Basically a gamecube with bells and whistles.

Yes it does have a unique and brilliant control system, but graphically poor and boring games.

Owned one since release 2006 and I have 9 year old and we never use it.

I Have Always Been A BiG Fan Of Nintendo. I Have owned a
nintendo 64 and a gamecube. Love the fact you can play gamecube games on the WII.

Nintendo has yet again done itself proud with an affordable innovative console. Sure it may lack the graphics capabilities of its competitors, but lets be realistic, that was a choice, Nintendo were just as capable as Sony as producing a hugely expensive machine with amazing graphics, but they decided to make something more accessible to a wider market. And in doing so I don't think that they have sacrificed anything more than unnecesary detail.

The games are wide ranging engaging and easy to get to grips with. The control system is suprisingly easy to get to grips with. So much so that my parents, who would never have dreamed of playing with a PS or XBOX enjoyed using it.

The online service is simple to set up and allows you to browse the internet via your TV if you have wifi. But whilst it's cool to watch youtube on the telly, it's very slow to type without a keyboard and the navigation bar hasn't been designed to hide so will constantly take a fair bit of your screen space up. Interestingly there is also a small but growing range of online flash games that have been designed with the wii in mind. Most of which are free to access.

In short, if you need 'teh bestorz graphiks' to enjoy a game, maybe you should get something else. If you think the gameplay and innovation of the designers makes the game you might want to consider the wii.

Vastly overated and underpowered. Its being sold soley on the gimmick of of the useless "nunchuck". After the intial releases, what is there to get?.....nothing. And once all the casual gamers have had their 5 mins of looking stupid while waving their arms around, it will be consigned to the "bought out of curiousity and wish I hadn't listened to the hype" bin.

the wii console is a small yet very fun little machine. the graphics are nothing special but that doesnt matter when such a fun little game like wii sports is there to occupy you and apparently it makes for a good exercise machine too.

If you are yet to buy a wii and are looking around for reviews then all i can say is get one. Yes the graphics are a little on the low side but the game play is great fun and brilliantly addictive. Its well worth the money and having had it now for a few days am glad i spent the money on this. Great with friends over too but make sure you get an extra remote. Its a must buy.

I was going nuts when i didn't get a wii at launch. And still 7 months on at time of writing Play have just got in stock.

Owning all the Next Gen consoles I did get super hyped about the Wii, and waited 20 days to find one at normal price.

Its not hard to see why its out of stock and only recently more readily available, as the PS3 an X360 battle it out for the hardcore gamer and to be the DO IT all multimedia box, the wii stuck to being simplay a games console which reflects in its great price. As a next Gen console though, its edge is its in your home multiplayer experience that excels. If I have any friends over, we're always on the Wii. Otherwise it sits idle, the 360 is played regularly on allsorts of games and my PS3 is switched off most of the time except for when I catch a bluray movie.

You can't play DVD's, CD's, next Gen DVD's. It doesn't have Dolby Digital or High Definition output. But does all this matter?

Well a little bit, but where it looses here it makes up for in playability, its games are so far simple and you can dip in and out of them.

Wii sports is very good, all though a bit of a tease. Tennis is only playable to a maximum of 5 games. I'd like to see 5 sets!! Again golf is 9 holes maximum. Boxing is great and very hardwork and if you do a Wii fitness test everyday then you can expect to get fitter and loose weight.

Whats better is that with games with wii in the title will use mii's - All you do is spend a bit of time making your own mii to your likeness. So, play some tennis and you'll see your silly character that looks just like you, flapping around after the ball in slo-mo after the point is won. It has me and my family in stiches. Or in Baseball, your team will be all the Mii's you created on your console so you'll be cheering for someone as they step up to bat.

Boxing is also a great laugh and a work out again, only playable as best of three, but very funny. And very hardwork

The virtual Console is OK and does have some games worth downloading - but you'll need a £20 virtual console controller to play them. Donkry Kong Country from the NES a highlight.

The internet browser is actually very good far better than the PS3's attempt. the point a click makes it very easy to enter web addresses rather than a D pad.

The wii graphically is average, but again, nintendo's focus is about playability, but playing games with a bit more depth like Zelda or Red Steel do show how if the playability is wrong the poor graphics can be frustrating.

Playing for long periods can be tiring, and as I got our wii 3 days before Xmas and tested it with my wife. I literally pulled my shoulder muscles playing the very funny and crazy Rayman Raving Rabids - I was trying to throw a cow as far as possible using the Remote as lasso - put my heart and soul in.

Need for Speed Carbon is a bit of a niche game, aimed at teenage boys. Its a very average racing game and the control system on the Wii frustrating. But if your buying for a teenage boy they'll love it
Overall, if gaming is something you do casually you'll love it. If you want challenging games in HD that take over your life you'll want a PC or X360.

Oh, and playing Zelda with the remote was very comfortable, literraly lying down easy.
