It turned out the shopping 'spree' wasn't much of a spree - a skin, a charger and a couple of new games. Alas no crossbow or sword for me...and they decided independantly from any input from me against most of the add-ons.K.

Any Wii game (even Guitar Hero 3) is playable with the Wiimote, without any wacky addons (aside from the Nunchuk -- if it's required, a little blue Nunchuk icon on the game box will indicate it).<BR/><BR/>The racket, for instance, just ends up making the remote bigger, but it's not going to change the way you play the game. You still hold the remote the same way and execute the same motions.<BR/><BR/>Don't blow a giant wad of cash on those 3rd party Wii-specific recharging batteries and cradles, either. I just went to Wallyworld (WalMart) and got an ordinary Duracell 15-minute rapid charger and some 2650 mAh AA batteries. (Stay away from the shorter-lived 1200-1800 mAh units and go for at least 2400 mAh.)<BR/><BR/>I actually like the Wii Sports golf because if you mimic what you'd do in actual golf, the results aren't too different. My only complaint is that I'd like a bigger range of clubs to choose from, but then I guess that's better handled by a golf-specific game.<BR/><BR/>Check out <A HREF="http://www.metacritic.com/games/wii/" REL="nofollow">Metacritic</A> for reviews on the Wii titles. There's a lot of crap out there, but there are some really terrific titles too.Chris Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09165051951695781879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101405.post-64462689968778876172008-03-09T14:18:00.000-04:002008-03-09T14:18:00.000-04:00Want to play in real wii tennis tournaments?
