Nintendo Wii

[Steve Gardner]

We bought a Wii recently - mainly for the kids of course

As a former PC games player, I do like the heavier-going games (those processor-hungry sims used to keep me occupied for many, many hours) but, I have to admit, the way the Wii gets you physically involved in the games is a real pleasure.

I really like the Sports game that comes 'free'. With the exception of Baseball, which I think is pants, I've been playing each a little and trying to improve my score.

I'm a 'pro' at Tennis, Bowling and Golf at the moment. I'll post my ratings/highest scores later.

Anyone else play the Wii and, if so, what are your ratings/scores?

I don't have a Wii however I've played it at friends & families houses. I think we're going to try and get one but when we were planning too they were out of stock.

In one evening I got to Pro on tennis

Having played for a while now, I'm not sure the 'pro' rating is all that much really. Not that I'm a lot better than the 1000 points needed to reach 'pro' in the three events I'm 'pro' at.

My Tennis score currently is 1089. My Bowling is 1347 (from a peak of over 1500 after scoring 289 ). My Golf is 1296.

I've only played a little bit of Boxing and virtually no Baseball.

Oh, and my Fitness score is 24.

I know Carl75 has a Wii and is pretty hot at Tennis. I think he said his score was somewhere around the 1900 mark. There ain't no way I'm getting there. I'm struggling badly against the 1400 opponents.

I'm not sure but I seem to recall spending a whole evening dedicated to Tennis and getting to 2000.

I may be wrong though.
