I'm Wiik

We're staying with Amanda's parents this week, and they have a Wii. This is the first time I've played Wii, and I think it's great. The problem though is, I'm a wimp! I've been doing a lot of Wii Bowling, Wii Tennis, Wii Baseball and Wii Golf. I haven't tried Wii Boxing yet. Anyway, I'm so sore! My right arm and shoulder are as sore as they were when I first started working out. It's sad and pathetic, I know.

My review of Wii Sports is that the Bowling and Tennis are great fun. The bowling is actually a fair facsimile of the real game. Tennis is a lot of fun, and not too hard to pick up. Golf on the other hand is ridiculous! If you have ever swung a golf club, you will struggle at this game. If you swing too hard (too hard = faster than 25 mph), the ball goes crooked. You also only have 4 clubs to choose from. I would love to try Tiger Wood Golf. As far as baseball, I'm as bad at the Wii version as I am at the real version. Yesterday I got no hit by the computer.

The other fun game we've been playing is Big Brain Academy. It's a series of Brain Activities, designed for all ages, but especially for kids. Yesterday, I took the Brain Test and got a C++. It's tough, because it's based on speed and accuracy. I can usually figure out which picture is different, or which complex shape matches, but I have to take my time. Anyway a really fun game.

The best part of the Wii, is that the whole family has been playing together. I think that this Christmas, my family may have to get a Wii.
