I had the same experoence. I am still sore from playing 3 hours 2 nights ago. I am terribly out of shape though. I think the Wii is a great way to get in shape if you can stay interested! PS Great review Chris. Seems right on the money. LOL DAVE …Wiiarm what a great word! I had the same experoence. I am still sore from playing 3 hours 2 nights ago. I am terribly out of shape though.

My brother had already bought one and was home by 12:20 this morning, not bad going to say it takes 10 minutes to get to the nearest games retailer. I got up this morning and although I should have been getting ready for work, I couldn't resist a quick go. I too played Wii Sports and I was blown away. The boxing is nothing but hilarious. Having a little version of yourself getting bopped in the ring, to me, is just funny. The graphics aren't great when you put it up against the Xbox 360 but the interaction between the controller and the onscreen action makes it truly revolutionary. I've seen demos so I had a basic idea of how you control the onscreen characters, but I really think Nintendo have hit the nail on the head with this because I reckon my Mum will be able to get the hang of it (and she can't even work out how to control the mouse on a computer). If you had any doubts, I assure you, you'll be impressed and it's well worth the money... Living in England, the Wii has only been available for just over 10 hours.
