I tried out the Wii for the first time yesterday. And yes, I really like it - it feels closer to being involved in the games - at least a bit. I tried out Wii Sports and Zelda and both seemed ok fine and fun. But not neccessarily a Revolution (maybe they were right about namin´it "Wii" instead, haha). The controls are kinda/very jiggy. Playing Wii Golf was pretty damn annoying because the game requires you to be precise and that´s one of the things that the Wiimote is not. You constantly either jab too hard or too soft, and the mote just doesn´t obey the way it should. The boxing is even worse. Also generally the pointer often disappears on the screen and you wave around the room to retrack it - which can be a bit tiring when doing it for the 5th time in 5 minutes... But the tennis is pretty fun though - just don´t expect to win even though you´re good. The Wiimote is not doing what it should. Oh well, maybe I was just too excited beforehand about the whole thing and therefore kinda disappointed when finally trynig out the thing. Just like the Pet Shop Boys I feel like singing: "Is that what is was?"... I have to say that I don´t entirely agree with Time.
