For sheer playability, there's no console better than the Wii. Its former codename, Revolution, describes it superbly. The motion sensitive controllers are just that, and with the addition of extra controllers such as the Wii Fit Balance board, Nintendo is managing to take the concept outside the traditional realms of gaming. If you haven't played on a Wii, you won't quite know what it's like to experience. Not only are the motion sensitive controllers unbelievably responsive and easy-to-use, but it's at its best for family gaming where even grandparents can pick things up pretty quickly in simple games. Complex games using the additional nunchuck are far more difficult though! And make sure you fork out for rechargeable batteries, also. There are clever touches, too – pressing the off button on your controller powers down the entire system and the other connected controllers.
