Quote:I have a mixed review of the Wii. For multiplayer where people are actually at your house and they are non-gamers...the wii can't be beat.
For single player games I've found it very disappointing. I think the majority of my frustration comes from the fact that I've been playing WoW since release. Anymore, I find a single player game w/no multiplayer (read: online) play pointless because of that. That's my issue though.
Disclaimer: I have not yet tried any of the key release titles like zelda or metroid at this point, which I've heard are very good.
I beat Metroid Prime 3 today on veteran mode (I played through it the first time on veteran mode).
I logged just under 15 hours, meaning that it fits my bill for a "good value." (I consider 10+ hours to be a good value on a game, or what it'd cost to go and see 5 movies).
Absolutely love it, so give it a try. Also, look for Batallion Wars II, Manhunt 2, and Super Mario Galaxy in the next month. Also, MoH: Heroes 2 (32 player multiplayer!!!).
Looking good in the next few months :-) too bad about the Smash delay though.
