- Fantastic fun!
The Wii is very small and compact, extremely quiet in use, and light on electricity. The Wii Remote and Nunchuk take a little getting used to, but once you've made the adjustment, it really adds a new dimension to gaming.
There are some great games available for the Wii right now, but the console is also plagued with a ton of shovelware and ports. I can see this situation changing though, as the popularity of the Wii has sent its sales racing past the Xbox 360 after being on the market for only a year. That said, there are still enough good games available to keep you entertained!
Some people will compare the Wii to the PS3 or Xbox 360 and say that it's inferior. Graphically, it certainly is, but then it was never designed to compete in that area so I think that criticism is unfounded. A bowling game could look almost photo realistic on the Xbox 360 for example, but it's the control scheme that makes the big difference on the Wii. When the Wii Remote controls are implemented well by game developers, it really adds something to the gameplay that graphical power alone can't achieve. Clearly that works both ways - for example, Assassin's Creed almost certainly wouldn't work as well on the Wii due to the lack of graphical oomph - but the point still stands that the Wii offers a unique gaming experience. In some respects it's a bit like the PSP and Nintendo DS. The DS is graphically inferior, yet it has unique features that enable developers to try out new things.
I've had my Wii since launch day last year, and I also own an Xbox 360. I love them both. If I didn't own a Wii I'd be missing out on great exclusive titles like the fantastic Super Mario Galaxy, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and the forthcoming Mario Kart Wii which will no doubt be excellent. It's also a great party machine, and lots of fun when you've got a few friends over. It's not for everyone - if you want HD graphics or a media extender, look elsewhere - but I have to give the Wii 5 out of 5 simply based on the fun I've had with it over the last year.
BTW, it's good to see Amazon selling these at the RRP, rather than selling only expensive bundles, or marking the price way up as some other stores are doing.

My husband walked into a well known high street gaming shop in our small town at about 5pm last night & jokingly asked if they had any Wii consoles - came out 10 minutes later with one & a couple of extra games. No queuing, no ridiculous overpricing, no frenetic bidding....... Maybe it was just a fluke, but it's worth asking!
We spent a happy evening playing tennis & golf & 10 pin bowling last night....loads of fun - I'd recommend this to all ages as certainly the sports games (which is all we've played so far) are ones that the whole family can enjoy together - not something that you can say about other games consoles in quite the same way.

i was lucky enough to get my wii yesterday. Just want to thank Amazon for not cashing in on the shortage. I paid the proper price and feel my loyalty over the years has been repaid! Some people are charging nearly double!! The 5 stars are for Amazon
Thank again Amazon for great service
Rating: - The Wii is a must have for any gamer.
Long story short: if you can get your hands on a Wii, buy one.
Pure gaming enjoyment.
Whilst I'm writing this review let me just add this: you b*stards who are exploiting the Christmas rush and buying up Wiis just to sell on at a profit deserve to have the world's sh*ttiest Christmas.
I look forward to seeing all the private sellers drop the prices of their consoles when the new year comes in and the Wii stock rises again. :D

An excellent purchase and well worth getting.
People will argue that the XBox360 and PS3 have much better graphics, and they do, but the Wii gives you much more fun. It has excellent games like Mario Galazy, Zelda: Twilight Princess and Metriod Prime 3. All these games are amazing and reinvent gaming. The vitual console, available online, is also a joy and will open up an opportunity to play amazing games from the past. I can't find fault with this purchase at all. The WiiRemotes are almost second nature after an hour or two but just make sure you have a lot of AA batteries though as they tend not to last too long. Nintendo don't provide a charger with rechargable batteries, although they should, and this has been my only draw back so far.
An superb console at a reasonable price.
