Wii game recommendations please

[tchrrx]

We have several wii games, but want more for Christmas. Here's an idea of what we have & what we think about it, just to give you an idea of what we like.

MarioKart: Love it!
wiiFit: liked it, but burned out on it
wii Sports: liked it, but don't play much any more
Happy Feet: dumb
HSM sing along: terrible
Mario Olympics: ok
Super Galaxy: pretty good, but once I got to harder parts, I quit playing. Now I can't even remember how to do the easy stuff!

Also, we've rented Big Brain Academy & Cooking Mama. Thought both were just ok. We rented Lego Star Wars & couldn't figure out what we were doing.


We're thinking about the Disney trivia game & some sort of instrument game. We don't particularly want to spend money on Rock Band, but don't know if wii music will be fun without actually having the instruments. We would really just like some sort of drum set or something, but don't know if one exists outside of Rock Band.

I like the Wii Carnival Games series. Even our youngest can play those. I also purchased the Pinball Master game, which I found to be fun.

We also like Wii Carnival games. My son really likes Mario Super Sluggers, I've never played it though. MarioKart seems to be the most popular in our house right now, my dh and ds play it every night before bedtime. My son is into Madden 09 right now, but that could be because he just got it, we'll see how long it lasts.

For Christmas, we are going to get either the new Guitar Hero (the one with the drum set) or Rock Band 2. My son also wants the Nerf Wii game.

My whole family (kids are 7 and 10) loves Mario Party 8. It's kinda like a board game but also has minigames and competitions. It is one of very few games that we can all play together as it lets you provide handicap points for a character.

Raving Rabbids 2 is hysterically funny, my kids will play that forever if they can. There's a new one coming out too that has a butt skiing on a cow game that looks like fun, you use the Wii Fit board.

We have Rock Band (1 & 2) for the 360 so I don't know what it'd be like for the Wii, but it's a great game! I'm addicted to playing the drums.

The number of games for the Wii has been rather slow in releasing, unfortunately. The Mario games have been the most popular in our house & my youngest DS plays Lego Star Wars a lot.

Okay, you need to hook up with GameFaqs. The RPG's are tough but they are very fun once you get into them.

Gamefaqs has all the walkthru's and cheats to help you through.

Agree! I've played every Mario Party game and I love them!
