Score 9.0/10+ Excellant value for Money - Wii Sports suitable for all the family from 3 to 73 and you can all have fun together. Simple to set up and the kids loved setting up their own Mii's.
- Extra controllers and Nunchucks are pricey but not essential. Would deffinately recommend using charging stand and rechargable batteries (extras) but will save money in the long run.

My son loves it and is never bored, unlike a lot of wii games, it gets harder and he loves a challenge, you can also play gigs and earn money to buy new songs to play.
Excellent for eye and hand co-ordination. There is no age limit to this game.

Paul, London , “notenoughwordstomake a valid point”
Score 8.0/10+ It's a great deal of fun...
- the cost of all the extra's that you need to make it fun, steering wheels, guns, tennis rackets,golf clubs, boxing gloves that you need in sets of two when they are sold or supplied only for one. By far the worst feature is the rubbish background music that you can't change, Nintendo is missing out on an earner there !!!! Think what people would pay to keep changing the music on games, like the morons that download ring tones.

Score 10.0/10+ Absolutely fantastic, great toy for children want to enjoy a mental challenge as well as physical movement. There are better graphic and more realistic graphics out there, however I do not believe they are appropriate for children. Shooting and killing people within a negative context are not my idea of a toy nor do I personally believe it is a healthy experience. The Wii lets children play fun games that the whole family can enjoy.
- Really nothing to criticise, maybe it should come with a second hand controller and a Quick Start booklet.

Expert reviews for Nintendo Wii
TechRadar expert review
For sheer playability, there's no console better than the Wii. Its former codename, Revolution, describes it superbly. The motion sensitive controllers are just that, and with the addition of extra controllers such as the Wii Fit Balance board, Nintendo is managing to take the concept outside the traditional realms of gaming. If you haven't played on a Wii, you won't quite know what it's like to experience. Not only are the motion sensitive controllers unbelievably responsive and easy-to-use, but it's at its best for family gaming where even grandparents can pick things up pretty…
