Default Wii reviews

Hi. Does anyone here have a Wii? My kids are pooling their money together and saving to get one. I think it's great that they are doing that, but I want to make sure they are not wasting their hard earned money.

If you have a wii, do you like it? What games do you recommend?

Wii has the most kid friendly games of the three systems out right now. I don't have one but I have played it. There are lots of the kind of games that can be played together. So they are still interacting with other people not just the screen. What age range are they?

I was finally able to get my kids a Wii.
I swear they have been asking for it since last Christmas.
So I saved up money that I made online for it and bought it.
I have heard lots of good things about it and the games.

The Wii is mainly aimed towards the younger generation, but it's also great for when you have friends or family over since there's a lot of party games.

Some of the games are really horrible on it tho, so I'd check reviews on games or rent first before buying. You can't really go wrong with anything involving Super Mario or Zelda though.

The Wii is worth it. I have one and there are a lot of famly and party games available that are tons of fun. It is also suitable for younger kids, since there are many games they can learn to play too.

We played Just Dance last night it was hysterical. I also heard Wii Sports Resort is very good. We are going to try that next. We have The Biggest Loser, Wii Fit, and other games. Lots of fun games to choose from.

Default Wii is great

We've had our Wii for over a year and my five year old (now six year old) LOVED it. There have been lots of games friendly toward his age as well as family friendly games, and even games I myself love. It is the best system you could invest in for children/family video gaming entertainment, in my opinion.

Bowling is super fun! It's one of our favorites. I don't have the boxing game, but I've heard that it gives you a great workout (may be enough to wear out the little ones just in time for bed).

Wii is very fun

The best games for wii that are kid friendly (almost all wii games are kid friendly, but still I like to double check) in my opinion are:

super mario wii
super smash brothers (a little bit violent but very cartoony, perfect for my 9 and 11 year old, sometimes I play with them and it is a blast!)
mario cart wii
wii sports
wii fit (I like to play this and the kids get a kick out of the balance games)
