Dead Men Walking

Is anyone interested in starting a dMw Wii group?

It would be nice if all dMw members who own Wii's, share thier Wii Number so we can add each other to the address book.

If there is enough interest we can talk to the admins andd see if we can get something setup for sharing our console numbers.

as soon as i get one. buying one as soon as i can

What ^he^ said. Will be buying one once the shine of TBC has worn off. Have had several good sessions on mate's Wiis (no bad jokes please), and now I have Wii strain (aching arm and shoulder muscles, mainly from being very energetic in Wii boxing. I am the undefeated Champion among our mates though).

Hook me up, I have no idea about security, it's over-rated and I believe that all things shoud be shared.

bowling is my bag......and tennis, and Zelda, oh and Madden. .

The thing with the Wii friends codes (console code) is you cant talk to ppl unless you ahve both added each other to the address book. So it might not matter about keeping the console code private.

who said no? any reason?

Wii got a bit of rubbishing on the bbc website

now i'm not sure:g:

That review is rubbish. I read it when it came out, and its only a review of the freebee sports title.

QuoteThe sport games are more mini-games than fully-featured titles. There is a disappointingly limited range of options for each sport - just one course for golf, no variation in the bowling or baseball games and only a few rounds of action in the boxing.

It's a few mini games to get you introduced, yet it lacks features, i tihnk hes missing the point. Although he didn't mention the training games, for which there are 3 for each sport, and the fitness option, nor did he mention the the skill levels you gain as you win more matches.

Not bad for a freebee.

QuoteShe was impressed with the simplicity of the controller but often frustrated that a swipe of the remote did not always translate into a stunning backhand or long, straight drive.

Seeing how my inlaws play its no wonder it sometimes missed a swipe. Personally I've had no problems with using the controller.

The reviewer doesn't really have a clue when it comes to mini games and nintendo, I doupt he ever played mario party (1-7). These mini games are not about precide movements, its just abit of fun.

Don't judge the Wii by the sports title released with the console. Red Steel is very precide aiming wise (shame about the sword play though). The need for speed game turns ur remote into a steering wheel, driving games never felt better (except with a realy steering wheel :) ).

Go to IGN and read some real reviews. :)

QuoteAnd it is worth making sure you have plenty of room in which to play: my wife and I literally came to blows when boxing and I managed to swipe a lamp shade during one frenetic tennis match.
 
 

This bloke is an idiot.
         

QuoteThere is a learning curve with all new games and control systems but I had the distinct impression that often the action on the screen was only loosely connected to how I used the controller.

and this bloke is an idiot.

For the price the Wii is a fantastic piece of kit. No it's not a graphics or technological powerhouse, it's an interactive experience. Playing tennis against my kids is fun.

Achieving some precise spin on the 17th lane of the bowling spin control challenge is remarkably rewarding.

If you want to play cutting edge games with expensive production teams and real life graphics then buy a new PC. If you want to play a socially encouraging family game, buy a Wii. I'd encourage you to at least try it. Nintendo, in my opinion have made gaming fun and less of a 'stuck in a study with headphones browsing dirty websites' habit.

I will admit that Call of Duty 3 takes some getting used to, the FPS needs some developing in my opinion, but that may be as I'm stuck in my ways. We'll see.

That said I fell back into WoW yesterday, so this may all change.

QuoteShe was impressed with the simplicity of the controller but often frustrated that a swipe of the remote did not always translate into a stunning backhand or long, straight drive.

That's because the game is essentially just a tech demo, designed to give you a taster of how the system operates. When Tiger Woods Golf or Super Pr0 Tennis 4000 come out for the Wii i'm sure you *will* be able to do backhands and such, as well as needing to move your character across the court instead of it moving towards the ball automatically, and do long clean drives or short simple putts in golf, but Wii Sports is not supposed to be that complex. It's a simple game that's great for newcomes to the system to use to get accustomed to it, and it's simple enough for young kids to have great fun with too.

This is NOT Benny. Someone has stolen his PC, call the police now!
