Nintendo Wii game reviews

I got Mario Kart today..... all good so far!!

Why don't we all put our friend codes up and have a game? I can't think of a reason not to put them on a public forum?

Anyone managing to play using the manual drift? Im finding it a tad difficult, guess its better to master the Automatic levels first!

Mario Kart has to be the best game I have played in a long time. Online all it lacks is a free for all battle mode, rather than this team bollox they currently have. Its just brutal fun.

Manual drift is pretty easy I find. Nice little speed booster at the end of it also. Although try mastering drifting on the Rainbow Island circuit

My code is 2234-7272-3524

Just having a break from playing my wii fit, what great fun
I had pre ordered from amazon but they have run out so after a fruitless trip to tescos got 1 of the last 2 in my local currys
The balance board is excellent and so sensitive, on start up you put in some details and you are then given your weight, bmi and wii age. I am 13stone as I expected with a bmi of 23.9 (Ive set a goal of getting this down to 22) but my wii age was a rather poor 47 (im 27).
My centre of gravity was quite far to the right which isnt good I will start training hard on the balance games and yoga!
Ive played a few of the games and all seem really fun, ski slalom is my favourite so far, leaning from side to side to get through those damn gates.
I also liked the jogging, you stick the wii remote in your pocket and jog on the spot.
I really think this is a great game which you will keep playing trying to better your scores and beat friends and family whilst getting a bit of excercise.
Also as you progress there are loads more games to unlock along the way.

Bought Mario Kart on Friday and have been playing it a fair bit over the weekend. Gotta admit its a fantastic game and have loved playing it so far. I was an avid fan of the original SNES game and was worried the new version would not live up to the hype, but it has and its almsot as good as the original.

One thing i dont like is the battle mode. What happened to the traditional battle mode where you go one on one with another person? Now its a battle mode with 12 players - 2 x six people teams. Not a huge fan of this concept.

How good is Wii Fit?

365m on Ski Jump for me!

You have to hand it to Nintendo, they've battered PS3 on sales.

Aye, somebody at Nintendo did their homework. PS3 will overtake it eventually though. Thinking of getting a Wii, been thinking about it for ages, it looks brilliant fun.

Beat me at the moment - only had a few goes, highest of 327m so far
The slalom's good fun too (38.00 sec on first stage)

But admit it if the neighbours see you doing the yoga exercises in your living room through the window you do feel a bit of a twat

I'm tempted to buy The Bigs when I get paid. Reviews make some criticisms about it but overall it is meant to be rather good and I'm desperate for a semi good baseball game. Shame it doesn't have a proper season/franchise mode.

Anyone else played it at all??

Just bought Super Smash Bros Brawl

Simply Awesome..10/10


It’s impeccably presented, lovingly crafted and absolutely incredible value for money. Admittedly, it’s true that Smash Bros.’s idiosyncratic, somewhat abstract fighting system isn’t for everyone - and it’s chaotic, frenetic approach to the genre can be an instant, insurmountable turn-off for some people. However, invest some time and patience in the game and the rewards are endless. With Brawl, Smash Bros. is still the absolute pinnacle of sitting room multiplayer gaming in the right crowd. It just so happens that, this time around, that achievement is supported by an excellent single-player experience, rectifying one of previous series entries’ major failings. There’s also the not-so-small issue of Brawl’s over-reliance on Nintendo’s back catalogue to put flesh on its superbly crafted bones. Regardless, if you can appreciate the game’s fighting system, Brawl is an undoubtedly brilliant, essential purchase.

Anyone played Topspin 3 and got an opinion?

A bit late seeing this one, but the Bigs is awesome - by far my favourite Wii game. (Although haven't got round to getting Mario Kart or Wii Fit yet, to be fair.) Very impressed by the rookie challenge mode which is varied enough to keep you going for ages, despite the lack of a 'proper' season mode.

Must admit i bought our wii after a win at the races fell into asda drunk, bought a wii. In the morning thought s**t never really wanted one, but now i think its great i play tiger woods a lot really enjoy it. When we have friends and family round it great everyone can get involved and have a good laugh. Looking to get wii fit soon, also call of duty.
