The Wii

Graphics-(8.0/10.00)-The graphics for the Wii aren’t as stunning or as vibrant or the PS3, but I really don’t think that’s where Nintendo wanted to go with this console, and I don’t care. I don’t judge a game by it’s graphics, unless they are just plain bad. For Warioware, the graphics were smooth and sleak, and fun to look at, and for Rayman, it really looks like it’s taken a step up from the Gamecube, or in the opening cutscene at least. In Zelda, the graphics also look like they have been ramped up.

Sound-(8.5/10.00)-Really I this one is also good. In Warioware, there are several instances in which the sound will come in through the Wiimote speaker, which I think is a great idea. I personally loved the music that plays while you’re creating a Mii, and the Wii Menu music is also good. The in-game audio comes out clear and smooth sounding great as well.

Controls-(10.00/10.00)-Of course, this is my favorite part of the Wii. The Wiimote fits well in my hand, and the A and B button are in the perfect place. The nunchuk also feels good, with the C and Z button both in easy access of my index finger. Although at times I had some trouble occasionally getting the sensor bar to react, this is the highlight of this amazing piece of machinery.

Setup-(9.00/10.00)- Pulling the Wii out of the box, I quickly noticed that there were several pieces of this console. There’s the sensor bar & stand, the console, the two-part controller, and more. It doesn’t take long at all to set up, it only took me about 15 minutes. Although I had some trouble setting up the sensor bar, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist ot figure out how to set this thing up.

Overall-(9.5/10.00)- Overall, I have been having a blast playing with my Wii, whether it’s been from hual-hooping with Wario or making my neighbor as a Mii, this is truly one console I look forward to spending some time with in the future and playing some certain games on it. I love this console! Consoles like this are what’s going to put Nintendo up there above the rest! Welcome to next-gen!
