So we’ve had some more time with our new family member, The Wii.  And as prophesied in post of old, I tried out the golf game and really quite enjoyed it.  So much in fact, that I might even consider getting a full golf based game at some point… I will try not to rush into anything though.

Surprisingly, we had Brandy’s parents come over last weekend to play.  They both enjoyed the whole thing quite a bit.  More than I expected actually.  Hopefully at some point they will join the flock of Wii-ites.  I can’t believe I just typed that…

Zelda has been a lot of fun.  As seems to be common in RPGs these days, it started out somewhat slow.  But, it quickly picked up and has been really good so far.  The controls are definitely unique, though I get the feeling they will be copied several times over in games to come.  It just really feels nice to be part of the game.

We had a friend come over yesterday to make use of the extra remotes we were able to pick up.  Multi play Wii is a blast!  Ironically, the game I think was the most fun was the golf game.  Which can be played with only one remote, but it was nice having everyone with their own.  Rayman was fun, though not an amazing amount of fun.  It’s only somewhat designed as a party game, and a lot of the games involved taking turns.  While that isn’t a huge problem, for the dancing games you have to wait several minutes each time, and hear the same song over and over…  Some of the other games were really great on multi player though, I particularly was fond of sheep shearing.  Now, when Wario comes out, that will be a whole new world of multi play.  I can’t wait!

Tonight we have another friend coming over to try it out, but sadly he wont be able to stay for long.  Once we get our 4th remote, we’ll have like a party or something! I say again, anyone wanting to come play, just let me know.

Fortunately, I didn’t get started on the whole “Wii sucks because it doesn’t have amazing graphics” thing…  Maybe sometime later I’ll delve into that.
