What the web is saying...
Pros: Innovative games machine that is great fun for playing games with friends or familiy. Good value for a next-gen console. Free online gaming.
Cons: Lacks high definition graphics. No surround sound. Can't plays CD/DVDs. The controller uses up batteries quickly.
The Bottom Line: This is a very compact console compared to a PS3 or Xbox 360. It is great at bringing family and friends together and it's extremely easy to both set up, and navigate the menus. The controller might take a bit of time for some to get accustomed to. This is not really for hardcore gamers, there are no high definition, first person shooters here - but instead, a good catalog of fun games to play, as well as health orientated titles like Wii Fit. Great value and lots of fun.
