So I've been pretty skeptical on the whole Wiimote thing. Mostly because I'm a lazy gamer and like to sit down/relax or lay down while playing games. I finally got a chance to play the Wii at GameStop yesterday and I have to say the idealism of it all is really cool. Unfortunately the game demo they had was for Excite Truck, but it was a decent thing to test the Wiimote on. I have to say I liked how it worked and how it  played out. That feeling of having control was pretty nice. I do have to sy though that the control was a bit of a bummer on the turns though because I felt it turned too light and if you wanted to make a hard turn or try and spin it just wasn't possible. I'm sure since the technology on a console is new, the devs didn't get to play with it that much, but i definately see room for improvement. The whole nose up and nose down things while the truck was in air though worked Very nice! they seemed to do a good job on the in air action. I'd love to play a Dirt Bike game or Tony Hawk game trying to do stuff with the Wiimote...

Graphics wise, they weren't that bad. The PS3/360 do look sharper, but the graphics aren't bad at all. Unless you want real world structure on all yur games, you won't notice anythign mddy about the Wii graphics. They look just as good as any other game, just withut extra texture details or "pretty" rainfall. I felt tthe smoke/dirt could've been better in some places, but it wasn't a huge noticeable difference. Motormstorm on the PS3 is much more appealing as far as a racing game goes, but excite truck I think is more to show on Wiimote control anyway than graphical power.

For me, I don't think I'd want to play Wiisports or anything with alot of action, but simple games like Excite Truck and anything where you don't have to swing/throw, that I can just relax and play, the Wiimote is cool. I don't think the Wii is the system for me as being the lazy gamer, BUT I do still want one and would love to play alot of the games on it. I'm a PS3 fan because the games I want are there, and have grown fond of the 360 for a few games there as well. My skeptism of the Wii though is finally going away some and I feel it could have a nice place in my home as well. Giving each console a chance really does help in the end. I never scratch things off my list and give it the benefit of a doubt. The Wii might end up being my least used system, but there's still something on there for me when I want to play it
