PINBACK REVIEWS THE WII, AFTER LOGGING IN AGAIN
Posted: Tue Jul 06, 2010 1:19 pm
We got a Wii last week. I was slightly opposed to this, because 1) it costs money, which we don't have, and 2) it's for babies.
I am no longer opposed to this. The Wii is fucking brilliant. I don't know how it does what it does, but I do not believe I can go back to a gamepad after using the Wii Motion-Plus Remote controller. I admit to being skeptical. But it works flawlessly and amazingly.
AND it was successfully able to determine that I am an obese tub of oil and grease! What other console is going to give you that kind of feedback?
Yes, the games are all for babies, but you don't mind this while you're playing. And the bowling game on Wii Sports Resort is the best recreation of any sport on any system ever. My scores, right after firing it up for the first time were eerily similar to my real life bowling scores -- and I was using the same throwing motion that I use in real life.
WII: THREE AND A HALF (*** 1/2) STARS, ONLY BECAUSE 98% OF THE GAMES AVAILABLE LOOK LIKE FUCKING THIS:
