I'm a girl but today I played with my Wii. OK, not MY Wii, someone else's Wii. Uhm that sounded kinda bad. I went to EB Games to buy Final Fantasy III for the DS and noticed they had finally gotten their Wii demo unit in, so I asked the guy if I could try it out, given no one, not a single soul was playing it, so he said sure, I need your ID. Mmmm ... OK ... afraid people are gonna walk off with a useless remote are we? He said it was only cuz I had shifty eyes hehe. Then they guy carried the remote over to the unit and yes, gave me a safety lesson. You must put the wrist strap on or you can't play. Mmm ... OK. Then he showed me how it works with the 1 and 2 buttons (where's A and B?) and explained that in Excite Truck (the only demo they had apparently, bummer) how you sorta look uncoordinated with the remote and twist it around and sideways and up and down like a dork to make it steer. OK. So, that's what I do, and promptly crash into a bunch of trees. YES! Exciting!

The remote is totally different than normal controllers, and it's especially hard if you're used to driving games with a standard controller where you use the directional pad to steer which direction you go, I kept hitting the damn thing and it didn't do anything! Grrr.

Needless to say I crashed a lot, and when I finally sorta got the hang of it, and managed to finally catch the tube right when I started to go through it ... sorry game over time's up! Grrrr. Oh well, I got quite a few bonuses for tearing up trees and flying sideways through the air hehe.

Anyway, Wii is fun but will take a lot of getting used to, the graphics looked good (was on a HDTV though, it will look like crap on my old piece of junk normal TV) but this is no PS3 or Xbox 360, it's a FUN system. Wiiii! It's OK though, cuz the last console I bought was a PSOne and so any "current" console graphics will look fantastic to me, and I'm more interested in playing fun and engaging games than looking at eye candy anyway. That's why I play World of Warcraft on low graphics settings! Oh, no, wait I play that way cuz my computer is a piece of junk.
