    Strengths: -great gameplay -innovative 'channels' -unique controls -excellent price

    Weaknesses: -some grapical boredom -could use a better lineup of titles

    Overall Evaluation: The Nintendo(R) Wii(TM) is the hottest console out there. Featuring innovative and exciting gameply that redifines the word 'control', it shows what a true video game platform should be. Having it's 'channels' that provide useful information, along with the adorable Miis(TM), the Wii(TM) never fails to deliver. The only problem I have with it is its lack of graphical power compred to the other consoles out there, and the fact thet it could use some more big titles such as Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Super Mario Galaxy. The Wii(TM) truely symbolizes what video game platforms should be.

    Strengths: works great

    Weaknesses: limits of current technology

    Overall Evaluation: This has to be the best gaming console that I have ever seen. I almost can't wait to see what the next generation product is going to look like. If this is anything to go by, cutting edge won't describe it accurately enough.

    Strengths: Easy set up

    Weaknesses: Should come with multiple controllers

    Overall Evaluation: The Wii is very entertaining and easy to use. The idea that you have to get out of the chair and actually do something to play is awesome. The boxing will give you a good workout in a short amount of time. They really should include two controllers to make playing with a friend easier.

    Strengths: A great way to spend alot of quality time with your family. Fun for all ages

    Weaknesses: N/A

    Overall Evaluation: This was purchased as a Xmas gift for our family. We will have plenty of fun family time together enjoying playing with the Wii. We all had the opportunity to play at friends houses and enjoyed everytime we played the Wii. It will be a great surprise for under the Xmas tree. I like the fact that you have to get up and move to play the games instead of just your fingers. Really looking forward to using it. Thanks again
