Wii move you

It's ****ing fabulous. I don't care who you are, or what you think you know about Nintendo, (even for those of you insecure enough about your masculinity that you're afraid to play "kids games") but all you need to know is that it truly rocks!

If you've read my review of DOAXVB, I feel much the same way about Wii tennis. It is a work of sublime genius. The game mechanic is simple enough, that you can step right in without even thinking twice, but it just keeps you coming back for more, it's a thing of beauty. I have Zelda, and Raving Rabbids, and Wii Play, but I've yet to even load them. That's how good it is.

Even if you just go and have a whack about with a demo station, you need to play this game to understand the dynamic the console is searching for. It's nothing special to look at, very simple, but it has gameplay in spades. Nailing the drive down the line when you need it is as sweet, as planting the ball just a milimeter the wrong side of the line is sour. You compete with nobody so much as yourself, and the game is all the better for it.

Wii move you indeed!
