Over the next few weeks as Christmas approaches I am going to try tp start reviewing some of the hottest toys for the kids or really anything that could be good for the family to spend together. The first such thing that I have had an opportunity to review is The Nintendo Wii. While we were in Tennessee Alex, Ryan, Tonya and myself had a chance to put a Wii through its paces. Ryan is a little older than Alex so he recognized the Wii immediately. The boys started with playing the baseball game(with a little help from me and Tonya). I didn't think that Alex would be able to play it but my theory was soon proven be wrong as seen in the picture below. The game was very basic and easily geared towards younger children but I think older kids like me and Tonya lol would be bored quickly with it. We switched to the boxing and I noticed right off the bat the controllers aren't very accurate at all. We also played the tennis (boring) and then the bowling which was excellent. So all in all the Wii and Wii sports was a blast for the little ones but I wonder if it has the staying power to compete with the new peripherals for the PS3 and XBOX 360. I hope to be reviewing the other two motion devices in the coming weeks.
