Editorial Review:
In a nutshell: As if the idea of five games in one package didn't sound a good enough deal on its own the Wii's best multiplayer compendium comes free with the console.
The lowdown: Clearly realising that they need to provide some quick and obvious reasons why the Wii Remote is such a good idea Nintendo have packed in this compilation with the console, which includes simple versions of tennis, golf, baseball, bowling and boxing. The four player tennis game is the obvious stand out as you swing the Remote exactly as you would a real tennis racket, with the game seeming to almost magically interpret your movements into the game. All the other games work in a similar way, as you hold the Remote like a golf club or ready it like a baseball bat - you can even use it to gently roll bowling bowls and add some subtle aftertouch. The graphics make be purposefully basic but these are the games to instantly prove why the Wii is going to be such a revolution.
Most exciting moment: While even Wii Tennis can be played with very minor movements of the Wii Remote the boxing game actively encourages you to act things out properly. You hold up both the Remote and the nunchuck to simulate your two hands and then duck and weave as you switch between trying to pummel your opponent and dodging or blocking their own attacks.
Since you ask: You can use your own customised Mii Channel character in any of the games for that personal touch. The idea was originally just a joke featuring caricatures of Nintendo's top brass for a press conference, but it proved so popular that Nintendo ensured anyone could make their own character to play with.
The bottom line: Five of the best games on the Wii and they all come free with the console!-HARRISON DENT

My new Wii Have just got my nitendo Wii and its great fun and really easy to set up,Wii sports is v good but would advise buying a second controller to make it that much more fun.Will need to buy some more games though asap.
Best thing since electricity! I'm really not a console gamer at all, in fact this is my first console! I was thrilled by the thought of playing tennis in my own home. I have had the Wii for nearly 5 months now and am still absolutely hooked. I would recommend getting some rechargeable batteries as if one if playing every day (as one is bound to do) then you'll need them! It's fabulous for all ages really - my parents are now hooked too! It's a must-buy gadget!
I hope it catches on... Let's compare the Wii to games on other next gen consoles first. Now don't get me wrong, GTA-SA (not seen GTA 4 yet), the Halo and Half Life series, to name but a few, are some of the finest games ever made. But you can't have a QUICK game of any of them because each stage of the campaign might take up to an hour to complete. Playing them requires a dogged mindset, which can feel like having to tackle a sinkful of dishes when you only want a clean cup for a quick brew. A lot of modern games have the depth,... more info
What an amazing console! Nintendo have really excelled themselves this time. The controllers they have for the Wii are unlike any of the other consoles out there. The range of games out there makes it so everyone has something they like and its for all ages. The Wii is at an affordable price unlike some consoles I could mention plus you get a free game included. Wii Sports is a fun game that any age can play and with more controllers the more fun you can have. I have had my Wii for awhile now but still play this game now... more info
