also got house of the dead 1 & 2....which i think are both terrible!

got house of the dead myself, and although the game play is not great (exactly like the arcade game) it is still good craic!!
do you have the gun adapter for it?

[clareman]

Got it last christmas and have had some craic playing it. Turned it on last week though and the sensor bar doesn't appear to be picking up the remote - anyone else had this problem and if so, what I should I do? Got the wiifit for the birthday and haven't been able to use it yet (and I could do with using it).

[stpauls]

have only had the Wii a month or so clareman so can't help you there i'm afraid.

makes it a bit more realistic, if you can call it that, but agree with you, it gets a bit boring and repetitive after the first couple of goes!!
got it as a 2 for £30 with COD 3 so i don't feel so bad about buying it!!

Set up the mario kart WFC last night and was playing a friend in belfast - mighty craic!

Is there any way you can play friends plus have the other characters in the race?

[full back]

Is there any way of copying games onto disks for the Wii, in the same way that you can get a copied card for the DS?

yeah you can mod the WII, check out http://www.wii-chip.co.uk. They have some products that don't require any soldering to the motherboard.

CB, either you or your friend should join a worldwide vs race, then a wee message should could up saying that your friend is online and currently in a vs race. It will give you the option of joining him and just hit the "join friend" button and hey presto, the both of you's are racing against the American's and Europeans and Japanese

was looking as PES6 the other night, looks like you use the nunchuck to control your player and the remote to point to where you want to pass/shoot etc.

Wii is very good, but you're expectation levels might be a little high!

I have great fun playing Mario Kart on the Wii with the little'uns.
