Nintendo Wii

[Comrade Rocket]

so i actually got to play one the other day. I got to play excite truck and it was actually really responsive. I was expecting there to be some lag when you turned but it actually worked pretty well. Going over bumps and collecting power ups while the controller vibrated and made neat sounds felt really natural. Also while in the air, tilt the controller backwards and the nose will go up, tilt it forward and the nose will go down. If you hit the ground level you would get a nice boost. Flight sims would rock on this system.

I then checked out some of the other channels, and like how it advertised, it does come packed with the forcast, news and internet right out of the box. A neat little thing that they included is the hand on the screen you chose stuff with will turn upside down when you turn the controller upside down.

My only beefs is the placement of the buttons make it feel weird. like the 1 and 2 button are really far away from where your hand rests. Also you dont point it at the screen, you have to point it near the sensor, which at first was akward but i got used to it. the movement felt smoother than a light gun. With light gun games, im very shakey and it shows on the screen. With the wii it moved really well and didnt really shake all over the screen like i expected it too.

Even tho it was a kinda restricted demo, and i didnt even get to play the game i wanted. It was pretty neat to get some hands on time with the system.

Im gonna get one as soon as i can.
