It's time the Wii had its very own thread. A place where Wii enthusiasts can share our experiences and opinions on new games so when we're looking for a game, we can check out reviews from people we know.

I'll start, but give credit to other TFPers for their recommendations of two of the following:

Super Mario Galaxy. Beautiful game, great music. I'm not a supergamer as many of you are, so it took me a while to catch onto the nuances of the game that Mario users would understand. It's like a puzzle, but you can only accomplish the goals in very specific ways. Not my favorite, but still fun. I'm scoring this one high because my teens love it and it is a pretty game. 9/10.

Zack & Wiki. This one is more my speed. Some of the puzzles are simple, others are taking me quite a few tries to pass the levels. Graphics are not as snazzy as those in Galaxy, but the Wii functionality is more fun. The music and character vocals are silly but as far as game play goes, I'd have to rate it an 8/10.

Dance Dance Revolution. The music selection is not bad. Some of the dance steps are very complicated. I haven't yet progressed to hand movements, but am finding that I really enjoy and can follow the workout levels. I always work up a good sweat! Lots of fun and the chance to gain coordination? 7/10. So far.

That's all I've got so far. Please share yours!
