Excite Truck is fairly fun, and Super Monkey Ball looks interesting.

My wife loves Trauma Center, and we both had a lot of fun working our way through Rayman. I keep hearing that Elebits is fun, but I have yet to try it.

My vote goes in for Trauma Center (which I own, and which is very fun). I saw the intro and other assorted parts of Rayman and those Rabbids make me want to punch babies--even baby Jesus. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but that whole Rabbid idea just drains all the water out of the ocean and, really, there's nothing floating that boat except a bunch of hot-hot sand.

Simply put: it's loud and obnoxious and, for me, doesn't make a very good game concept. I'm sure I just lack the humor to understand the fun value in retarded looking rabbits doing annoying and disgusting things.

I'll have to agree with you that Rayman probably has more replay value. I played quite a bit of Trauma center -- but you can only take so much before you put it down to keep the repetition of the gameplay from gnawing at your brain.

If you don't own Trauma Center for DS, I would suggest it for Wii, because it is not as hard. If you own it, you should go for Rabbids. Here, I am betting that a full Wii-specific Trauma Center game will be developed during next year, and thus playing the previous version should be a must.

Oh, yeah, without an extra wiimote for RRR, it kind of dulls the experience.

The only real problem I'm having (and I anticipate I will continue to have) is that many developers are not creating controls that cater to both left and right handed users. Rayman assumes that you're right handed and doesn't offer any option to flip (this matters only when doing the dance sequences, but it's annoying nonetheless). Same thing with Call of Duty 3... which becomes a total nuisance when you're trying to line up your remote/chuck to bash a soldier's head in or pull a pin out from a demolition charge.

Also, it seems that the nunchuck is slightly less sensitive to motion than the remote, which may stem from the significant difference in weight between the two.

monkey balls is shite. in the story mode you can't play multi-player this time, but the main problem is they just haven't worked out how to code the controller and almost all the mini-games simply don't work.

rayman is really really fun, especially the dancing games which surprised me as I normally hate them, however I finished it in 2 days and I think I won't be coming back for more games that often, however those were two fine days and I'd still recommend it

but I would say this. get a component lead. I've just got one and the change to the games picture qualities are quite astounding. in wii sports you can see more, further and everthing is crisper and brighter.

I'm picking up S-video cables next week. It's the best I can do with my current TV, but that's fine.

Zelda is not that much of a time investment. I completed it in only 40 the first time, and that was without much side quests. The side quests I did do was a result of me finding them by mistake actually.

And I don't believe you're a "lower form of human" for thinking them rabbids hilarious. Though one of the minigames is a tad disturbing looking at the end results of doing it, if it was viewed out of context... Poor modeling IMHO.

I've discovered a flaw with zelda, and I guess it's possibly down to not being created as a proper wii game, though I don't know exactly why. Basically with my component lead zelda doesn't work with my widescreen plasma in 'auto aspect' mode and makes the picture too big to fit so I have to adjust my tv to be 16:9. All other games I have (which are wii games) work fine. I have this problem with most of my GC games too on my tv.

If you buy me a bluetooth dongle, I'll try it out.
