Wii is awful

[someguy9]

I have a wii, thought it would be cool. It is one of the worst system's i have ever played, I have zelda, Warioware, and sports. The games are aweful and I wish i never had it, the best game i've played on it was the old school MArio. I would say save your money and just get a N64 its much better.

Although I'm not quite as outspoken as you, I do have to agree that the Wii may turn out a deception for a lot of gamers. Unless you're completely focused on party games with the family, I'd also definitely recommend spending the extra 50 bucks or euros on an Xbox 360, since it's not just a more versatile machine, it's also 3 generations ahead in graphics and 'experience'. On the other hand, when I have a few guys over with a beer Wii Tennis is incredibly cool.

As in full of awe?

wii60, is a concept not born out of hatred for sony, but out of the fact the games are of a radical design, all I can say is give it time.

I got my wii the weekend, knew exactly what I was doing, got cod3 and zelda. Sports is defo the party game and once you've got used to the control system on call of duty it was quite fun, had to avoid knocking people out with my elbows and very nearly broke a sweat trying to wrestle with that german solider that knocks you over when your trying to clear your first house.

my brother now wants a wii

I have a Wii too, its no way near as good as my 360 and I gave my wii away! I thought visually it was sick, basic and just a pile of shit in a white box. I have never played such a worst system - it tops the philips CDi and I thought that was bad !!

-edit-

If I could give my xbox360 children I would !!

The Wii will sell off the back of it's brand name, like the PS2 did. Lord knows if it can sustain another generation. I'm gonna go with my gut and say that the Wii will probably sink after 2 years and when the next gen comes for Nintendo, most will have grown tired of it and grown up to have hair around their testicles.

I still don't understand this and people who say this. You knew it had weaker hardware, you knew what it was all about, yet you buy it just to complain about how shitty it is?

That's like me buying the Xbox 360 and then complaining about how the case is white.

[Rival24]

The case of the Xbox 360 is white

[Chris]

But you aren't willing to sell it because it's white.

erm you're telling me I knew it had a weaker hardware, and that I knew what it was all about and that I bought it to complain about it? whilst you're at it - tell me what Im doing tomorrow...It is a pile of shit in a white box, if it was a black box, Id say it was a pile of shit in a black box - I couldn't care less what colour any console is, but the Wii is a let down of a console. I dont feel its any advance from the gamecube at all.

I bought it because the wiimote looked fun, the console seemed very different and original. I didn't realise the lack of multiplayer games, the wii code system is awful, the little mii miis with the big heads is just outright wrong! I guess all in all I was a little surprised about how the whole lot of it felt for the under 5's. - I wouldn't want anyone that knew me off of this to know I had bought one.

I think for people who own an xbox360 and to then get a Wii - you can only compare the two systems together and see what makes one better than the other. The wiimote is only fun for so long plus it has an absolutely incredibly slow update system. The wii is also proof of why no console should have a web browser. I could not and would not encourage someone older than 10 to buy this system - its outright boring. Ive owned Gameboy's, the DS, N64's and all in all my own opinion of the wii is that its great for little kids, but you must be an adult of a certain mentality to enjoy it. Like people that piss themselves over crap text messages for instance.

The thing is that is lacks killer games,fun its nothing but ports and pathetic gimmick games with n-64 graphics, its horrible no online either it sucks.

it got plenny of hype but the thing isnt fun at all,its not even a real gaming console in my book.

i suggest to everybody out there ''real-gamers''


Dont waste your money on this crap!!!!

Well said... you're right! Basically it is a re-invented N64. I had a choice to buy Call of Duty 3 on the Xbox360 or for the Wii - I bought the one with clean crisp graphics, online multiplayer, HD support, rather than the one on the wii where all the soldiers look like lego men.

[Sir SpankalotUK]

i think zelda could be considered wii's killer game for the moment, then theres metroid which will be out sooner or later.

Call of duty on the wii, while the graphics are less impressive than the 360's I was quite surprised with them, and the magic of playing cod3 on the wii is the control system, pointing the controller much like a gun and having to steady you hand to make the kill shots. While I know the wii is missing online multiplayer, the experience the games offer are totally different to those that are available on the 360. The soldiers certainly dont look like lego men.

guess its a case of marmite.

I did a little write up on the Wii not long ago, though I didn't find it as awful as the starter of the thread, I found it wasn't for me. Read all about it here: http://www.parmmann.com/2007/01/26/a-wii-review/

Yeah good write up. I had mine on pre-order since 19th September and got it just after christmas. What I've found with people I know is that the ones without an xbox360 love it, and the ones with an xbox360 think it lacks a lot of features.

Im not overly fussed with graphics and visuals, but what it lacks in one area it should make up for in another - but its a poor console where the selling point is basically a pointing device.

[Chris]

I have an Xbox 360 and a Wii. I love both of them.

The Wii just needs more games.

[charmed699]

You can get back into it next week Chris with sonic's new game , Im getting it when it comes out here in the UK on the 2nd of March.

The wii aint awful its just .....different in my opinion the wii is all about fun and trying something different you don't need 1080p HD games to have fun!! i own 360 and wii and always find myself on my wii playing zelda the gameplay and how you play is GREAT! and the game is huge.... I got GOW a couple of days before launch completed it on the easy mode in one sitting about 4 hrs to complete ..Zelda i have being playing for about 10 hrs and i will say im about half way through......Xbox 360 games to me seem to take the shiny graphics route and forget gameplay and the most important Hrs of gameplay some 360 games are far to short.....Not knocking 360 at all love the console im a big fan of R6 Vegas which has been the hardest single player game to date...I have my friends round on a Fri/Sat night we always play wii yeah its got a load of party games give it time there will be a few non party games the 360 launch titles wasn't great half where tarted up xbox 1 games give it time before saying its awful

[Daze Of War]

I'm pretty happy with my Wii. I don't play it as much as my 360 but it still has some good stuff. I mainly bought it for the virtual console and for the fun multiplayer games like Wii Sports, Wario Ware, and many more to come.

My step son loves playing Wii Sports with his friends. It gets more attention from him right now but when more games come out I'll be playing it more.

Dude... I am with you on this one. I love both of the systems. THey both bring something different to the table. Give it time... the Wii will get better.

Oh... and Wii Bowling is so much freakin' fun!

[screamidge]

i wanna play a wii at somepoint but i get the impression its more like a novelty console and it will get boring after about 6 months playing sort of like the EYETOY for the ps2

[Chris]

With rumors going around that you'll be able to download demos on the Wii and more online crap will be enabled, it's looking better.

I got bored after several days already to be honest. Hasn't been on in 2 weeks, but it's fun when people are over for a quick bout of tennis.

[xYouGot0wnedx]

I sometimes play mine, but when Super Smash Brothers Comes out and IF it has online support, I think i will play that for a long time(Is the wii even going to have online support?)
