Muffleman Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Must admit I'm tempted, the Wii Sports looks like it could be a right laugh. Is the boxing two player ? If so, that could be a post pub giggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supragold Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I played it last night round a mates and it was a good laugh. I'm still knackered lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSoarer2.5TT Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 You have to get one Drunken Wii is the most entertaining thing you can do out side of the bedroom. Just move all breakables first. Fuelled by beer my mates and I were constantly trying to see who could hit the baseball the furthest. They are great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxygene Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Wkdboi2005 and I bought one for Christmas, it's great!! Although you get achy arms after a while, the boxing game on Wii Sports is a good culprit for that There is a story on Gizmodo about someone who traded their PS3 for a Wii too!!

garetheves Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Ive got one they are fooking brilliant. Different type of console to the PS3 (to state the obvious) and therefore cant really compare them. The graphics will never be as good but then Nintendo have historically released more "cartoony" games rather than going for realism. Wii sports is hilarious, we were playing it all over xmas and im aching more now than the last time i played rugby. All of them are 2 player although you only get one controller with the box so would have to buy another. The tennis and boxing are by far and away the best 2 ones, so much fun and such a laugh. Got a couple of class vids of my Gfriend and my cousins playing boxing. Also got Splinter Cell and Call of Duty 3 but not played them much yet. Sports is too much fun. Its the only computer game/console that ive managed to get my girlfriend to play and tbh she is more enthusiastic about it than me now. Gonna connect it to my wireless router tonight or tomorrow and download some of the classics. Thats another good thing about this over any other console, you can download NES, SNES, Gamecube, N64 and MEgadrive games to play. Admittedly you have to buy different controllers for them but will be worth it. It is deffinately the best "party" console for when you have a group of mates round. Buy one.

Well NFS Carbon on the Wii is excellent quality mate. We have had it running on a DLP projector displaying a 6 foot wide picture and I can say the quality of the graphics are very realistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Got one for xmas one word awsome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 really tempted in getting one after reading this, was waiting for the ps3 but seems that they do offer different things. Any comments from existing ownders regarding the 'secureness 'of the controllers? Dont really want one smashing into the lcd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 thats all bull as long as you keep hold of the remote it is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffvalenti Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Got one for xmas one word awsome! Me too, its great. Still gonna buy a PS3 when it comes out, but as already stated, you can't really compare the two. I'm battling my way through Red Steel ATM, and thoroughly enjoying it. Can't get another bloody controller in South London for love nor money though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chris.mcd22 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Yeah I got one for my xmas also. Great fun. Arms are getting worse everyday after playing boxing for hours haha. Great laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kittyclaws Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Right, that my mind made up. Xbox360 and the nintendo wii for me. Sony can shove their PS3 where the sun doesn't shine. I'm off to the Game shop to find out if they have any, and if not, when they get the next batch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkirby Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 its a party console, not a serious one, i found you cant play serious games on it and tbh the graphics are crap compared to the 360 but its nothing like the 360, its all about fun fun fun and by god its good at that, after about 7 hours of beer, wine, wii on christmas night until 3am i had to go to bed before i had a heart attack none of us could move the day after, its that bloody boxing game LOL deffo worth getting one, especially if you have friends around often Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I have to say I am sorely tempted to get one of these, they look hillarious. If you're looking for a Wii then try http://www.wiisearcher.com/buying.aspx After seeing some people playing games on these I really quite fancy one, the boxing looks well funny, check out this video of the staff over at Zoo magazine having a round Wii Boxing !!
