The best console right now

Feb 23, 2007

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: Unbeatable gameplay, revolutionary controllers, small, light, free sports game is cool.
Cons: None that I've seen. I guess if people don't warm up they could do themselves an injury?
Opinion:
I tried a Wii the other day at a party and loved it so much I went straight out and got one. I love it!

The Wii is so different to other consoles for a few reasons:
- it gets you off your chair where you normally just sit and push bottons, and instead you'll be up moving around, swinging your arms etc.
- you feel more like you're in the game participating, rather than some remote person pushing a button to make something happen.
- it's more social. You invite friends over and have plenty of fun playing against each other, rather than having online "friends" while sitting in a corner by yourself pushing buttons.

Basically, if you want the latest HD graphics, go watch a movie. If you want to play traditional console games, sit in a chair and just push buttons, then stick with the PS2 or XBOX - the games haven't changed much over the years. If you want something totally different - jump into Wii land...you'll never look back. The Miis are also a cute idea.

I think the Wii has won plenty of awards too competing against PS3, XBOX 360 etc - like console of the year, controller of the year, sports game of the year etc...
