    • Good: Easy to learn - a challenge to master. Great fun and has games that all the family can play rather than have some sitting on the sidelines watching others have fun. Graphics are excellent - even on my old analogue TV.
      Sound is great, non-intrusive yet adds atmosphere to the games.
      I love the personal touch where you may your own characters and play them in the games.
    • Bad: My arms and shoulders are sore from playing so much!!
      I wish the tennis game had sets - you can only play up to 5 games and I wish you play longer matches...

    We've only had our Wii console for a couple of weeks but already we're hooked on Wii Sports!

    • Good: Great introduction and really good for people who normally shy away from any sort of gaming. I had someone who would never touch a game in his life completely obsessed with playing!
    • Bad: Wii Fitness is largly reliant on which tests you are given. If those tests involve baseball or tennis then you tend to score far lower than if you are given tests about bowling. I also found the boxing controls to either be unresponsive or it got "out of sync" where your gloves dropped even though your arms were held high. A bit hit and miss I felt.

    Overall a fantastic introduction to the Wii, though I have to admit it would have been nicer if they actually showcased the FULL potential that was on offer as the over simplified controls while easy to pick up, certainly did make it feel hit and miss at times.

    This game is wicked. It's a great game to start off with to get you used to the controls! My brother and i played tennis for hours and hours
