Wii

im not gone on this Wii at all , i think if you want sim city just play it on your pc , and if you want to run jump and swing while playing tennis or golf just go out and play the real thing its way more realistic

the same zelda game is out on the gamecube...

I've got the Wii and its top class, ive played the PS3, Xbox 3690, and i have a PS2, gamecube and had an Xbox, the Wii is definitely the most fun and innovative, the added bonus of being able to download all the old games makes it the best by some stretch in my opinion.

I never knew how much I'd prefer the motion sensor controllers over a standard controller. And although the graphics aren't the best of the next gen consoles, the game's design is really nice. The colors are bright and vivid.

And the speaker on the Wiimote is great. Sometimes it jumps me when it's all quiet and it makes a noise.

I also think the graphics are seriously underrated in this game and look great if you don't really pay attention to all the technical bs. This game is long as hell too. I've already logged in 12 hours and have not even started the second dungeon. Music sounds great and you will find yourself humming many of the songs, especially Hyrule field's theme. I hear it gets better too, so I definitely am looking forward to the later parts of the game.

I can't remember the last time the story of a game really drew me in. Very rarely am I captivated by a game's story.
