A review on the Nintendo Wii
In today’s electronic market we see a highly competition with the different manufacturers and we wonder what is the best video system that can fit to our needs, we try to follow the advice from our friends or relatives to buy something but sometimes at the end we feel more confused of what to buy. With this series of articles about the consoles I will try to help you choosing the best console for you.
This first review is about the Nintendo Wii, one of the most controversial and appraised consoles due the originality that is given to the game play because of the innovation in the controls, that brings to the player a new horizon to play because it makes the player to exercise in a low cardio exercises since the games demand to the player to move beyond the couch, so basically with the Wii you make work out while playing the games, plus the compact size of the console is really handy at the moment of traveling because it fits really easy on almost any backpack; but is the gaming system with less games in the market although it offer a nice variety of games with good story line but not real advance on graphics such as the PS3.
The Pro’s of the Wii are that offers a new way of play since it gives more interaction to the player with the game, the games are less expensive than other home consoles, most of the games have really good writing and storyline, the game play of most of the games is really good and don’t give problem when sending the command from the control or interacting with the scenarios, also the Wii is the cheapest of all three consoles in the market, so it can be afforded more easy than a PlayStation 3 or an X-Box.
The Cons of the console are that graphically is less superior than the PS3 or X-Box, there a fewer games than the other consoles and one of the biggest innovations is also one of the biggest flaws, the remote controller, sometimes it can fail due the sensor bar won’t read the movement of a player if he or she is in a far side away, so with that flaw a group of players who are playing a fight game, some of them will have some disadvantage against others because the control won’t react very well at the moment of playing.
If you decide to start playing and want a video game console that isn’t expensive, easy and interesting to play, you can buy the Wii for US$250.00 and extra controls for US$49.00 and I can guarantee you will have many hours of fun.
