The Wii games console by Nintedo was released back in 2006, a complete breakthrough
in the video gaming industry.
The Wii has great interactive, motion-controlled gameplay instead of the industry's
standard of a controller, loaded with analog stick and directional buttons. This
new gaming concept makes the Wii a great, attractive games console for the young and old
alike, whereas previous other games consoles were mainly intended for teenage boys
and young men.
The Wii, on the whole, is a very attractive games console. The white glossy finish
won't fail to please, and the console is the small size of three DVD boxes stacked
on top of each other, which makes it one of the smallest non-handheld games consoles
ever.
The Wii's controller is unique. Shaped like a TV remote control, it simply has
a directional keypad and several buttons. Its motion control feature makes it
the interactive controller that it is. Like the main console, the controller
is glossy white with blue lights.
One of the great aspects of the WiiMote is its expansion port. It'll connect to a nunchuk,
lightsaber, laser gun, steering wheel, sword, crossbow, bow, tennis racquet and a load of
other accessories.
Gameplay on the Wii is just addictive. There's a wide variety of games that you can buy,
ranging from family sports to full-blown action. You'll be hooked for hours on this console,
whacking tennis balls at your opponent and shooting down bad guys. The Wii's a heap of fun.
Of course, as is expected, there are several downsides to the Wii, one of which is the quality of
graphics. The Wii's graphics are similar to those of the PS2, but is not even closely matched
to those of the other next-gen consoles, such as the PS3 Slim and xBox 360. It's a good thing
that the interactive gameplay compensates for the lack of graphics quality.
Another downside is that the WiiMote consumes the batteries very quckly, as you would expect from
a wireless games controller. Be sure to use rechargeable batteries for all of the controllers that
you used, otherwise the costs could steadily go up.
One of the other negatives to the Wii is the fact that the wide range of peripherals do end up
costing quite a lot of money, but if you compare these prices to those of the xBox 360's addons,
the ones for console are not too expensive.
This all leads to the question; should I get a Wii? The console is priced at a pretty good
170, so it won't make a massive hole in your wallet. This is predominantly a
family console, great for the old and young alike, and everything in between. If you're
looking for a console that will bring the family together for some fun, this is the console
for you!
