You guys are veritable font of knowledge, and/or I’m an ignorant dullard. In any case I certainly appreciate the info and I’m getting a Wii as soon as I can find one.
Thanks again and may you all rest in peace.
I got rid of my copy of Z: TP when I realized I was using one of the most advanced interactive systems and some of the finest 3D graphics, and I was sitting there…fishing.
What did you get? As soon as I get my hands on a Wii I’ll be looking for some good games.
My favorite so far has been Super Paper Mario. Great humor and challenging, but not ridiculously difficult for a non-hardcore gamer like myself. It does have some rather long cutscenes with a lot of text though. Also, it was originally planned for the Gamecube and shifted over to the Wii, so it is not a game that really takes full advantage of the Wii remote. It took me about 30 hours to finish, but some of that was just playing in the arcade.
I also have WarioWare:Smooth Moves and that is a lot of fun for a group once you unlock the multiplayer games (it doesn’t take that long). The game will tell you how to hold the remote, then give you a “microgame” to complete. For example, it may tell you to use the “umbrella” position (holding the remote vertically) and then show you a guy with a glass and the word “drink”. You then have to move the remote in a manner that mimics drinking a glass of water. You only have a few seconds to do it, but in this case you can’t go too quickly or the water will spill.
I also have Tiger Woods 2007, but I cannot recommend it. I hear the 2008 version is better, though. In the 2007 version, if you try to copy a natural golf swing, the game will wind up swinging at the end of your backswing.
