Wii Fit!!! A must needed addition to your Wii console.

Advantages: Simple, fun, excellent fitness routines, great for all the family.
Disadvantages: battery life, colours of board, no games available using two boards at the same time.

...getting your friends and family on and watching them squirm as it reveals there age. I have used the wii fit games over and over and there are different levels and difficulty which mixes it up a little. This ensures it isn't too repetitive. I do have to say in my opinion that the wii fit would benefit from been able to have two people using a board each. You also have to ensure the sensor which plugs into the wii console for the wii remotes, is at a good angle as some times it doesnt pick up the signal. On the wii fit there are many games to play including jogging, a step class, and boxing. I also have used it for the yoga routines, one of the moves is that you have to balance on one leg. It shows you when you are a little shaky and will talk you through every move. It is very simple to use and is great fun, I have and will recommend this to...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Wii - a great console

Advantages: completely interactive, easy to use, lots of fun
Disadvantages: limited multiplayer games

...I was given the nintendo wii as a birthday gift from my boyfriend in August. I have wanted one for absolutely ages and was not disappointed. The first thing i did was go out and get extra nun-chucks, an extra controller and 3 more games! This is a great interactive console that is great for all the family as well as wii parties with friends (whilst you can pass your one wii remote around between you, it's probably better if you invest in a few more remote controllers). My mum and my 8 year old brother equally enjoyed playing wii sports and rayman's raving rabbits (an excellent game by the way) The wii works best (obviously) with a spacious room and a good sized tv - then you can really get into the swing of things without the fear of bashing your fellow player. I've had a few such incidences because you can't help but really go...

Review of Nintendo Wii

The Wii - A games console for the whole family

Advantages: Great for all ages, easy to use, interactive
Disadvantages: None really

...I haven't owned a game console for a long time. As a child I had the Sega Master System and then later on a Gameboy but never progressed from there. Coming from a predominantly female house meant most the money we had went on clothes rather than computer games. Anyway I have recently played the Wii a few times round friends and relatives houses and thought they were really fun. Therefore when I found myself with some Amazon vouchers I decided that I would purchase. We ordered the Wii from Amazon as was on there for 176 pounds which was definitely the most reasonable price we came across. Many others were selling for over 250 pounds. With the Amazon vouchers and low price it seemed silly to purchase from anywhere else. We ordered this and used the free trial of Amazon prime to get next day delivery. On Amazon they were also having...

Review of Nintendo Wii

Wii king of consoles

Advantages: Cheapest console and best
Disadvantages: not as good technicnally as xbox and ps3

...Since My Childhood I have had the pleasure to own the 4 previous genrations to the Wii. The N.E.S in 1986 the Super Nintendo in 1991, the Nintendo N64 in 1996 and the GameCube in 2002. All of these consoles were brilliant in their own way but had varying degrees of success commercially. The Super Nintendo being the best selling and The GameCube the least. I have no doubt having owned and played a Wii it will becomes Nintendo's biggest success ever. Due to the fact Nintendo has marketed this machine and such a wide and diverse audience. From the old school Nintendo hardcore gamer with Classics such as Zelda Twilight Princess, to the fitness conscious through wiii fit. And most importantly it has managed mainly through the unique way which it is controlled through its motion centered controller it has managed to appeal to gamers who may...

Review of Nintendo Wii

The Wii console - fun for all the family!

Advantages: great graphics, good range of types of games available, looks great, more active involvement
Disadvantages: price, space needed to play it, electricity cost of running it

...Well if you have managed to get hold of one then congratulations. I think this is an amazing console. It looks great, the graphics on games are fantastic and the whole Wii concept is a load of fun to play. At New Year we had 10 people in a sports tournament ranging in age from 16 to 65 and everyone had a laugh. The teenagers in our house adore it, the younger children are fascinated and even the grumpy old adults have been known to sneak a play on it when the others aren't looking. The disadvantages as I perceive them are: a) you do need a reasonable size space to play in in - we have a big lounge (25' x 18') but still a cousin clonked a granny whilst playing. b) in idle mode it still uses a lot of electricity so be warned - make sure your teenagers swich off and power down. They don't like this if they have a game in progress cos...

Review of Nintendo Wii

Nintendo Wii, A great Console

Advantages: Gamecube backwards compatible, Great games
Disadvantages: Tiring when playing games like boxing

...The Nintendo Wii Is a great console if your an active gamer (and sometimes a lazy gamer) The reason The wii is a great console is because it is motion sensitive (Meaning with the sensor Bar mounted on your tv, if you move your character will move too) The Only disadvantages about this console is that it doesn't support DVD / CD, meaning if you like watching movies and listening to music, then your gonna need a DVD player for that, there are only a few more disadvantages including: The white finish can get dirty very easily, the games can tire you out after a while, and you have to buy each accessory seperately, (Like an extra wii remote doesn't come with the nunchuck, you have to buy that seperately too). But the Wii also has advantages like a few Games to keep you fit, and A downloadable back catalogue of games (Like Mario Games) But...

Review of Nintendo Wii

NINTENDO WII CONSOLE FUN, FUN, FUN

Advantages: Extremely energetic gaming fun for the whole family
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...This product came to my notice when my daughter put it on her birthday list for her number one present last year. When I started to look for this item in the shops this then showed me just how popular these consoles were. I searched high and low and even added my name to a couple of high street stores to be phoned back when some became available without much success as everyone was nintendo wii mad as my daughter's birthday is in November the demand is great at this time for the latest consoles, toys etc. Well eventually I decided to try my luck on Ebay to get hold of one of these scarce consoles so as not to dissapoint my daughter on her birthday. I bid on a number of the consoles to find I was out bid a number of times, I was fast losing hope of ever getting one of these but then eventually after many dissapointments I managed to get...

Review of Nintendo Wii

  Wii Fit

Advantages: great for weightloss, fun for all the family, improves posture, balance and health
Disadvantages: expensive, can only register up to 8 family members

...Our Wii Fit was brought as a birthday present for my 9 year old brother, although to be honest it was probably more of a gift to us!! What is a 'Wii Fit'? Before explaining what a Wii Fit is, I will explain the equipment you will need for it. The Wii Fit works on a Nintendo Wii - the Wii is a games console, which uses a handheld remote for interactive play (simulating tennis etc). In addition to the games console you will need a Wii Fit balance board. This can be used with other games such as skiing etc but will initially be purchased with the Wii Fit software. The Wii fit balance board is a rectangular board, which the user stands on, and it links up wirelessly to the Wii and is used to improve health through balance games, muscle and yoga poses and aerobic exercise games. The Wii fit balance board measures and monitors...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

The Wii!

Advantages: New way of gaming, attracts new gamers, sleek design
Disadvantages: Graphics

...Hey there! I'm going to be reviewing the Nintendo Wii as it's one of my favourites systems at the moment. Now, the Nintendo Wii is very cheap for a great console ($250/£180) compaired to the other consoles like the PS3 and the Xbox, but I won't be getting into much detail about that. I received my Nintendo Wii about a week after Christmas being in the right place at the right time, anyway, I shall crack on to the review. =P It's obvious that Nintendo have carried on the sleek look to the Nintendo Wii from the DS lite which is good. The Nintendo Wii is small, eye catching and very beautiful to look at! It was much smaller than I thought it would be, it's also very light! As most of you know, the Nintendo Wii console sits in the grey stand which adds contrast to the design. There is a blue light that surrounds the disc...

Review of Nintendo Wii

Wii Fit

Advantages: The Balance Board technology is outstanding
Disadvantages: It can be quite expensive

...Intro Wii Fit is something quite difficult to review. But people think that playing things like Wii Fit, is doing them good. Like take Brain Training, it would make you smarter, or something like Guitar Hero would make them feel like rockstars. But does Wii Fit actually make you fit? I think yes. It does make you fit. It does actually work! Like balancing on the Balance Board improves your posture and balance. Muscle exercises grows and tightens your muscles. Aerobics games make you lose weight. Which in fact it does. But personally, I went jogging for 20 minutes and it said I GAINED one pound. Which must be a glitch, if you ask me. And today, Wii Fit costs £69.99 ($89.99) which may be a little on the pricey side. But amusing if you can afford it, it is so much worth to buy and helps you stay much in great shape. It's so very worth...
