As of today, we’ve had the Wii for a week. So, what have I learnt?
Well, first of all I’ve discovered much to my shame that I’m not bad at golf: both Kate and I have managed to finish the expert level with a score of zero. Secondly, Kate’s a scarily good boxer. She’s K.Od me twice. It’s a seriously hard game to play, just because I end up physically shattered, having used muscles that haven’t seen any significant use for years.
Hannah loves WiiPlay. Pose Mii and Find Mii in particular have proven popular.
Our Virtual Console currently contains Galaga, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and Mario Kart 64. Of those, Galaga and Mario Kart have seen serious use. Donkey Kong has not withstood the ravages of time.
GT Pro Series truly is a rip-off of Gran Turismo. It’s fun and it feels quite natural to steer using the Wiimote with the supplied wheel yet the game lacks the variety of both courses and cars of GT2. All the cars are Japanese and there are perhaps only ten or twelve courses.
I’m slowly getting into Meet the Robinsons. Using the Wiimote to control the camera and the nunchuk to control movement can get a little confusing but the game is a pleasant enough diversion.
A great surprise to me has been how much Kate has taken to the machine. She never liked the PlayStation, a system on which many of the games seemed aimed, perhaps obviously, at gamers.
