First off I consider myself a recreational gamer. I own the Sony ps2. The Microsoft Xbox 360. And I just purchased the Nintendo Wii. Now the Nintendo Wii was very hard to come by believe it or not. I went to every store I could think of. But everyone of them were sold out. I finally picked one up on E-bay for $66 more than retail price. Which I didn't think that was to bad. Considering what other consumers were forking over.

So with that all said and done here is what I think of the Nintendo Wii.

The console itself is rather small,not much taller than a 100 pack of blank dvds. I bought the sports package which comes with a game disc with five games. Baseball, golf, boxing, tennis and bowling. It came with with one Wii remote controller and one nunchuck controller. I also purchased an extra remote controller and another nun chuck. The console itself was very easy to hookup right out of the box. My family and I were playing within 10 minutes. And what a blast everyone was having. The interacting controllers worked perfect.

The first game we played was Bowling. It was like having your own bowling alley in your living room. Then we tried out the rest of the games. All equally entertaining. For the price tag of $249.99 you can't go wrong. This console is sure to bring your family together. Everyone loved it. The Nintendo Wii is definitely a great system that both young and old will love and enjoy for hours on end.
