Nintendo Wii Review
The Nintendo Wii
4/5 = Great
Recognized for its sleek design and unique controller, the Nintendo Wii marks Nintendos return to power in the home console market. One of the most attractive aspects of this system (other than its minute size) is its price tag. While affordability seems to be a lost concept among next-generation consoles, the Wii clocks in at a reasonable $280. Follow this link to see more of the Nintendo Wii.
The Most innovative part of the new Nintendo is the Wiimote controller. The controller is motion sensitive, allowing users to play games a whole new way and giving players a more 'in game' feel. While some games manage to do this in a surprisingly fluid way, other games feel awkward and fail to registers some motions. The new controllers will give future game designers more creative freedom and there is hope that later games for the Wii will make better use of its functionalities. Of course, the new controller does not come without problems. There have been numerous reports of wayward controllers refusing to stay in gamers hands and breaking television screens. As far as graphics go, the Wii falls short. The graphics of the Wii are not at all next-gen, and are in fact the exact same as those of the Gamecube.
For the casual gamer the Wii is a good fit--the low price tag makes casual gaming affordable and the controller lets casual gamers compete with full time gamers. The virtual arcade allows for the play of original Nintendo games, which has great nostalgic value. The Wii is fun to fool around with, but more serious gamers may want to move up to the graphic powerhouses by grabbing a Playstation 3 or an Xbox 360. The limited selection of games may leave Wii users feeling left out. Still, the Wii is innovative, fun to play, and shows hope for the future.
If any gamers are still left indecision about which console to buy, this author suggests skimming through some console reviews.
