Don't make much use of the wiimote but are great games. zelda, mariokart, metroid. for more wii specific fun wario ware is good for the crack if you've got a few folk round.

jamboj Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Mario strikers charged thing, cartoon football game..... Its not brilliant on single player but great fun if you've someone round! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Mario Strikers was terrible IMO. Was also round a friends yesterday who had the mario olympics one. Didn't play it however the kids were on it and it looks fantastic if you are playing with another/group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N User Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 For kids Warioware, Rayman Raving Rabbids and Mario & Sonic olympics will be good. Mario Kart is awesome and is accessible to pretty much anybody. For teenagers and adults there are quite a few must-haves. Zelda and Super Mario Galaxy are both 30+hour games and are just fantastic games. avoid cheapo games like Rock N Roll adventures, Ninjabread man and Anubis because they really are designed to fool parents into wasting their cash. There are about 9 of these games which cost around ?15-?25 and they are just a complete waste of money. They're mostly made by a company called conspiricy. There's a harry potter ripoff, 2 or 3 racing games and a london taxi game. Avoid at all costs. http://wii.ign.com and http://www.gamespot.com/wii and check out the reviews Also - give it time to get used to the controls. The wiimote and nunchuk control system is difficult for some but once you've got it, it' fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sconnie Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 im only 21! but still think its brilliant. dont make em like that anymore. I'm 19 and it was one of my favourite cartoons. I've not got a Wii but Zelda remains one of the best games I've ever played on the Nintendo 64... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peebo Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Super Smash Bros Brawl was my latest purchase, and it is superb. Mario Kart, Pro Evo and Lego Star Wars are all great, as is Super Mario Galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Nobody Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Sonic and Mario Olympics is cool. Get your youngsters on to the brain gym as well. Currently playing Crash of the Titans and enjoying that. For the adults.....Bully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lithuania Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Not much of a gamer but the kids played it the other day at some idiots house & we liked it. So what are good games?

Gavsy Van Gaverson Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Mario Kart and Lego Indiana Jones are currently the most played in my household. Super Mario Smash Brawl looks good aswell.

Cat Stevens Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 On a crest of Wimbledon I bought Top Spin Tennis 3 the other day. Very good, especially if you enjoy the tennis game on Wii Sports. It's much more technical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flimsy Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I would recommend going onto a gaming website for research on game ratings, that's how I chose Super Mario Galaxy and Zak & Wiki and I'm considering Zelda for my next buy. I had a few mates round the house on Saturday who had never used the Wii before. My five-year old played Wii Sports with them and they were so hooked that I expect them all to have a Wii by the end of the week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariokart is the mutt`s nuts!!! Bought it last week, the kids and i are addicted, also you can use the Gamecube controllers for it which are alot easier than the wheel!!!

We have quite a few games now but my favorite is Wii Fit, having fun whilst exercising is the way to go. The kids love the wii fit too and Mario party 8. Dont buy the darts its well hard!
