Wii at Its best

Wii is just a general all around console. I know a lot of people think its pretty sweet but when it comes down to it and you play it after a while; its capable of playing several types of games but its not really great at doing one thing. Its not very good at driving games, shooting games, etc... Why? Because of the inaccuracy of its controllers. Wii can still play games just like any other console though that doesn't involve those things, you just have to hold the controller in 2 parts, but you have to include the interactive motion of the controllers at certain points in the game because of the few buttons on the controllers. Really when you are playing you just get tired of moving the controller up and down trying to get your guy on the screen to jump, the timing is off and its hard to judge your distance when your flailing your controller around. Its nearly impossible to play the Call of Duty 4 on Wii because its so hard to keep moving your whole arm to aim at the screen and it takes too long to line your sights up to kill someone. Its very disappointing in the long run and I seem to become more frustrated with playing than enjoy it.

Wii Console Sum-Up

Today I want to have a brief overview of Wii. In my humble opinion, Wii is fun, but it is only fun to play with other people. Games are simple and not very complex because its difficult to have an accurate controller that follows your every command. This shows in games because they are often simple and easy to play for experienced players. Games are typically not very long and can be beaten in a few hours to 2 days. Downloadable content is sparse even though they are working on making it better, in comparison to other consoles the downloadable games are everyone's favorite classics but there is only a few. Xbox and playstation have better online interaction and would be more favorable. Graphics are poor in every game I have played, they all seem to resemble Nintendo 64 back in 2000 a decade ago. Im not seeing the performance boost in graphics, the only real difference is the wireless play that is limited. Again, the games are only fun to play with other people and they are just small simple mini-games. The graphic quality is horrible, I have a HDTV and with the basic component cable that comes with the system its hard to read text because the picture is fuzzy on a 40" screen. I had to buy a HD component cable for the Wii for $30 and the picture is still not completely clear even though the picture is better. Also the wireless control is junk and it only improves with a purchase of a $40 part to connect into the wii controller. I must say that I perfer to play games on xbox than wii because of a better online setup and what is available. I would recommend this system for beginners and young children who would have a better time playing basic games.

New Super Mario Bros.Wii continued

Nothing has really changed in game play. The levels progressively get harder as you go, more often than not this involves moving platforms that you have to jump onto. In each world there are two castles that you have to beat in order to finish the work. In this game you have to fight the same boss twice with a different variation of the same one. To me its incredibly unoriginal and most of the time when playing I don't see anything new to the platform. Its highly dissapointing to me to buy a new-generation model console and the main game for the company is lame and copy paste of older games. So far im having a hard time wanting to play it because their is very little new to the mario genre that its not exciting and new to play. So far its not the MSRP of $49.99 I paid for it.
