When it comes to the wii THE feature is its motion based controller. This enables the user to make his/her inputs with the wave of a controller holding hand.

This is a major change when compared to the Xbox and playstation. When playing the wii you actually move around. To punch the opponent, just punch in the air rather than pressing a button.

However the innovative controls come with a reduced prestanda and graphics quality compared to the Xbox 360 and the playstation 3.

    What appears to be different about the Nintendo Wii is in its design, is its focus on providing the most important factor necessary for gaming, fun. While the PS3 and Xbox 360 rally around trying to find best chips and components, the Wii has looked at their audience and thought about what they really want, a gaming experience that everyone can enjoy.

    Farcical they may be, but new console launches are a staple of the industry and Wii represents something truly 'new' in an industry often criticised – not always fairly – for being unoriginal. It's exquisitely designed, superb value at £179 and, though it may not be graphically advanced, playing Wii is an unique experience in gaming. It's not a perfect experience. The Wii Channel system feels rather underdeveloped and a rechargeable remote would be welcome, but thes... Read more

    The easy-to-pick-up controller system could well win console gaming a fresh following, but only a steady stream of strong software will get everyone bursting for a Wii. Read more

    The nintendo wii has been providing myself and my other half with hours of fun since March 2008. Unlike other games consules its small and compact and there are not lots of wires floating around your floor. The variety of games available is superb and there are many different extras that can be brought. For such a great consule in terms of sizes and games available the price is relatively low. We paid £180 for ours which included two games. The only down side is that ... Read more

    I was at first disappointed with my Wii hooked up to an HDTV, and purchased an Xbox 360. Fast forward a year, and the 360 collects dust. There are a lot of original titles for sale, including downloads. Nintendo hasn't forgotten about having fun with more than one player (sans online) and this is a great party machine. Also, pick up some component cables if you have an HDTV, set the Wii to 480p with widescreen presentation, and you'll forget that some games aren't in ... Read more
