We have a Wii. It rocks for Wii Sports, Mario Kart and similar.

OTOH, it completely sucks for games like Need For Speed - not even worth buying anything which attempts to have realistic graphics, it will just disappoint.

Singstar type games I'm not sure of. Nicole really wants one, her sister's family have four of the Singstar games, but for the Wii the only one we keep seeing at stores is a Disney one, which doesn't have the same choice in tracks.

Here's a rather negative -- but believable -- review of Karaoke Revolution on the Wii: http://www.wiinintendo.net/2008/02/08/karaoke-revolution-american-idol-wii-review/

I haven't played Lips on the Xbox 360, but with the recent price cuts on them I'd almost recommend one of those, assuming you don't want to go the whole hog for a PS3, Kate.

The wii versions of those games i've heard as being largely disappointing.

there are no games on the xbox 360 that i would play other than that, likewise for the ps3, only want singstar.

disappointing from a gamers point of view, or disappointing generally?

like i care about graphics :P i'm not a gamer, and definitely wouldn't buy those types of games

thanks. my next door neighbour has a wii and I go over there to play with it quite a bit. lots of fun :)
