Wii Remote Controller

Advantages: Innovation, Responsiveness
Disadvantages: Price, Ease Of Use

I purchased the Nintendo Wii after weeks of searching the internet for a shop that hadnt sold out and once i found one available i bought it immediately. The package came with Wii sports and a remote controller and i have to say that i was quite impressed. The controllers work well with the console and in particular with wii sports. The biggest issue that i have with the remote is the battery issue. Whilst the batteries do last a long time when installed, to keep replacing them costs a fortune. I also have had this problem with my xbox 360 wireless controllers and would recommend anybody who was buying the controllers to also consider a quick charge kit to accompany it. The unit is very responsive and works very well, this depends on where you put the sensor that is supplied with the wii so make sure that you read the manual carefully ...

Review of NINTENDO Wii Remote - game pad

Great freedom to control Ipod

Advantages: Freedom, control buttons, long battery life
Disadvantages: Way overpriced in shops

First of all id like to mention that the remote is rather overpriced for what it is. Priced at £19 the apple remote, when in use with the apple universal dock, lets you control your ipod, by giving you the option to play/pause, fast forward, rewind, skip forward, and skip backwards. If you hold down the play/pause button on the remote it will switch your ipod off (just like on the ipod wheel itself). The remote works from a very long distance, and most directions, in fact the fact that the remote works from such a long distance away, and the most awquard angles impresses me quite a bit. I purchased my remote brand new off ebay for £8 plus £2.50 delievery which is quite a nice saving rather than buying it in the shops for £19. So i was as happy as larry as i wanted the freedom to control my ipod from across the room. Overall ...

Review of Apple Infrared Remote control for Digital player

Remote Remote

Advantages: Good Features. Well Made
Disadvantages: A little expensive

As mentioned in my review of the Wii Nunchuck I have had my Wii for a few weeks but haven?t had chance to review it so am starting with the peripherals. The Wii uses wireless controllers (it was the first games console to do this) that communicate with the main console via bluetooth. Unfortunately the Wii only comes with a single controller and as the main fun with the Wii comes from playing against friends and family I immediately purchased a second controller for £29.99 (it is hard to find them cheap anywhere on line or the high street). The controller is white plastic (the same as the Wii itself) styled like a small TV remote and is solidly made and feels even more so when the 2 AA batteries are put in. The remote which has a wrist strap (to prevent it flying from your hand and smashing your TV or other fragile items when you ...
