I won a Wii this week at a conference. My finance is really excited and wants to keep it. I was wondering what good multi-player games there are out there that my finance would likely like (that takes out FPS or other violent games). Wii sports come with it and will hold us over for a bit. Then I was looking at Mario Kart and possibly Super Smash Brothers Brawl when they come out. Anyone have any suggestions on good games that a lady would like and would still be fun for myself?

Thanks

When you say finance, do you mean your fiancée, or your accountant?

Apparently Mario Galaxy is really really good.

I don't own a Wii but several friends do. We've had hours of good fun with just Wii Sports.

I dont think there are any games for the Wii that an inexperienced player wouldn't like. Maybe Call of Duty. The rest are aimed particularly at her demographic.

I have big brain, and its pretty good, but really annoying if you get whipped by your opponent. And the upcoming one with air hockey, darts and quarters looks like fun.

My recommendations for multiplayer games are Mario Party and Big Brain Academy. Both of these are loads of fun. I really enjoy them when you have 4 people playing. Two people is just as much fun though.

Wii Play is also pretty cool, since you get an extra controller with that game. Some of the mini games on there kind of suck, but the shooting one and the pool game are cool

Anyone done star wars lego multiplayer? I gf loves sci fi. I think she might like this.

I have a Wii, am female, and play games with my SO from time to time. We have a Gamefly account and rent a couple games a week or so. My perennial favorite is Wii Sports. Wii Play also has some good multiplayer games. Mario Party is fun but it takes so long to get through all the animations that it's not worth it in two player. Mario Strikers Charged is a lot of fun. My favorite so far is Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution because 1) I love Naruto, and 2) it's a great straightforward fighting game that I'm pretty good at. Oh, and Medal of Honor is a fun FPS.

The thing I love about Gamefly is that I can keep the games I really like for cheap. We've kept Medal of Honor, SSX Blur, and I'm probably going to keep Naruto. We've bought Wii Play, Mario Party 8, and Mario Strikers Charged on our own.

I'm getting Super Mario Galaxy next. I'll let you know how that goes. It's Lego Star Wars after that.

On a more serious note, what constitutes violence to your finance? (Yes, I know, and I'm sorry)

I'd say Rayman: Raving Rabbids.

Rayman: Raving Rabbids is a fun one, but it's not worth buying. It's a game to rent. Evidently there is going to be a sequel soon. I'm looking forward to it. I enjoyed many of the minigames.

Shooters (red steel, resident evil, etc).

She loves the cartoon type games. Which is why i'm thinking about getting mario kart when it comes out. I'm also thinking smash bros might be good but I don't think she will like competitive fighting games much.

skier · 11-17-2007, 10:50 PM

get super mario galaxy.

best purchase i've made so far for my wii.

though zelda: twilight princess is a close second

We got this a couple of days ago, and the wife is totally addicted to it. It's pretty fun two-player - lots of puzzles that you get to work together on. And it's not PVP at all, but you can attack (and 'kill') your partner, so that's a fun way to work off some relationship aggression. ;-) Several cutscenes, with funny takes on scenes from the movies. Gameplay is fairly easy, but still fun. The game is actually a compilation of existing SW lego games ported to the wii, so if you've played through those games, you won't get much new stuff. It barely uses the wii controller (shaking the wiimote is the same as mashing the fire button, and that's it).

We also have excite truck and big brain academy for multi player, but both of those kindof got a little boring for me. The kids like them, though.

You need to get Wario Ware. Elebits is an awesome trippy game, and playing it while drunk and/or high is one of life's simple unsung pleasures.
