wii
By Lynn | August 26, 2007
Last night was a BLAST! Jay and I met Matt and Jen at the Red Robin and had dinner. Then we stopped at Target to get two more remotes for the wii. Then we went to their house to play. It was AWESOME. whoever developed this game system is a genius!
You hold the remote (which is wireless) and swing it like a tennis racket, golf club, fist, bowling ball or whatever depending on the game.
We played tennis, we bowled, we played golf and the boys boxed (Poor Jay got the snot knocked out of him) and played baseball (I think Jay’s team won). The neat thing is it’s just like you’re really playing. It is so realistic. The way you throw and aim the ball for bowling - the way you swing your club in golf. Tennis was a little harder, I had trouble figuring out the backhand, so always missed those shots.
After a score in all the games, there is a replay. It is so cool to watch! The tennis players even jump around and fall. It’s great because unlike other video games it’s quite physical! I had a sore shoulder this morning!
You even get to create your “mii”. You pick from a selection of face shapes, body shapes, eyes, eyebrows, mouth, coloring, hair style and color, etc. Matt’s “mii” looks just like him! It was almost scary!
Anyway, we had fun. We all laughed a lot. The cats were weary (they have been trampled in the past from this game) but watched with curiosity and interest. We did have to move the furniture and rug (no potential accidents for Momma) but they have a huge family room, so there was lots of room to get silly.
Thanks, Matt and Jen for a great night!
