Review of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

Best £59.99 I ever spent

Advantages: all round family fun.
Disadvantages: difficult with multiple users

...the family, We frequently have wii fit nights where we get my mates round and take turns doing the various games. It really makes exercising fun. We also have a laugh at how badly peoples centre of gravity is and there calculated wii fit ages are. Its also good to be able to do the exercises in your own living room rather than the gym and come back to them when you want. Its really easy to folllow and the games are varied so you do get bored, Some ...
...unsafe. Overall though an excellant game and I would recommend it to anyone. I cannot wait to get the wii fit plus so that I can focus on my bum and thighs. Everyone that has tried our wii fit has decided that they too are going to also buy one. ...

Keep fit at home

Advantages: Easy way to exercise at home
Disadvantages: If you have large thighs the strap might be too small, music in game is a bit boring

I bought the wii active as I wanted to get into shape and loose some weight. I have three children so going to the gym is not really an option.So I bought Wii active, so I could exercise in my free time at home. I have been using it at home now for 3 months and in my opinion have found it to be a very useful and good product. The number of routines one can make for oneself in my opinion are endless. I have created numerous workouts and depending ...
...to work out a specific part of the body or how difficult I want my routine to be, I choose that one I want. The calorie counter is a nice addition in my opinion, as you know how much you have burnt off and can gear a work out to burn off specific amount if you like. There is also the 30 day challenge where the Wii puts you through it's paces. One can choose the difficulty and can customize it to exclude certain activities if you don't want to it. ...

Review of Mario Kart Wii (Wii)

Super Mario Bros on the Wii

Advantages: Great team playing ability
Disadvantages: None as of yet.

...it going. The New Super Mario Bros. Wii has captured all the quality of previous Mario Bros. It captures the sheer simple pleasure of running and jumping; all can be done easily with a d-pad and two buttons. The game play takes a little getting used to but once mastered its great fun. There is also the ability to share it with up to three pals. The first time a Mario game has offered proper co-op play. Keeping the play confined lends the game a more ...
...player takes on a new light with extra players, encouraging you to work together and carefully negotiate each obstacle to keep your team’s life stock up. It is, for all intents and purposes, the very definition of a co-operative game. That physicality becomes an asset, bouncing off the head of an ally gives you a vertical boost to get to those hard-to-reach places. You can even pick friends up with a shake of the remote (held sideways) to carry them ...
