I was over at my relatives' house and my two nephews were playing on their Nintendo Wii. They asked me if I wanted a shot at the tennis game they were playing. Tennis? Moi? Hell yeah! I love tennis and these guys got no chance with me. Then again this is not real, but rather on a video game. They claim it is like the real thing. I gave it a go and got crushed, but I got the hang of it. Then next match I won. Then they wanted to vent their frustration on their lost with a boxing match in which you have a nunchuk hooked to the Wii controller. You have to use both controllers to punch. It was pretty cool and I got a nice work out. After a few rounds, I got knocked out. After a few more wins, they conceded they were no match for me. Thank goodness! I was sweating and out of shape. This is a nice workout! I really enjoyed the interaction with the game. I could barely move either arms the next day.
They asked how was it compared to my PS3...let just say that Wii is more for kids. The graphics are no matched compared to the PS3. Well if I want a work out, I will just rock around the room with my guitar hero 3 game. I do highly recommend the Nintendo Wii for kids, but for adults....PS3 system. I am a little worried I might get carpal tunnel syndrome from rocking on the guitar. Heard a few sports players sitting on the bench from playing too much guitar hero. LOL!
