Rating : - THE most AMAZING system!!
I've played the others..and the Wii absolutely RULES for fun!! The fact that you can truly be part of the action with the unique controllers....that you have a HUGE selection of family-oriented games to entertain the pickiest of users...that it makes you get up off the couch and actually work up a sweat makes this gaming system of choice. It also holds up very well considering the intensity of game play AND is backwards compatible with the GameCube...besides bringing in older systems via download. It rocks....it's the best....IT RULES!
