The only reason I would get one is for the guitar hero...otherwise they are a waste IMO..

Ok stupid question regarding Rock Band. Is it impossible to enjoy fully if you suck at playing instruments or can you learn on it easily?

I don't know how to play a guitar but Guitar Hero was easy to learn... but you need good reflexes and a large TV not to mention good surround sound to help you out.

I am going to get one soon also. My mom just bought one and loves it and she is 63. I think its fun also, I like the bowling! My wife is the main reason that I am getting one but I think that it is a GOOD gaming system in general for the family. You don't always need top notch graphics for games to be good, hell I play a lot of the old sega and nintendo games and love them. :thumb:

Glad you are enjoying it Roody!

Yeah, Wii Sports which is pretty cool. I also have the Wii Fit which is cool also.

Too bad I'm too lazy to use it. :rolleyes:

I bought one a while ago and love it... although i dont play it much as i used to... (not as fun by yourself) its designed for playing with ppl. Nintendo is trying to remind ppl that consoles were supposed to be fun. just mho. :)

I often wonder if the voices in my head ever get frustrated because I'm just too damn lazy to climb that clock tower.

Metallica version coming out soon

I got a wii for xmas from my mom, not sure why she got it cause I'll hardly have time to play it, but I went ahead and got the Guitar Hero regular game and guitar along with another remote and the special component cables cause I can't stand the simple "Yellow" video hookup. Otherwise I also got the crossbow thing and Links Crossbow target game or whatever its called.

Mario Kart is a great game along with Super Mario Galaxy. I dont use mine as much now that I have a PS3 but the kiddos love it.
