Wii Wacky World of Sports

Has anybody else played this? At 54 I got a Wii from the dogs for Christmas. My first video game. I must say I really like the thing and enjoy the part where you have to get up and move, like the bowling and tennis. I really hate exercise, but this thing may just be the ticket to start.

So checking out some of the games I came across Wacky World of Sports by Sega. What caught my eye was "Extreme Ironing." There's previews of it around the net. Though I've not yet seen the character on my system there is a rather stout "Lucy" that is depicted. It's totally silly as you try to iron, dropping from the sky. I've yet to try the rest of the games like Tuna Tossing or Lawn Mower racing.

I have a Wii also and i love Smash Brothers. With that game one can play with someone else over the internet. I also got Wii Resort which I have been exploring. They have a swordfight game and Table Tennis and frisbee and water boogie board too. We also have Godzilla where you pick a character from those cheesy Japanese movies and you become the monster like Godzilla, Gamera, Mothra and Radon...you get the idea..lots of fun.

Lawn Mower racing!

Now that seems fun.

XBox is coming out with Project Natal, which is a "controllerless" experience. It's a light/sound/camera sensor that senses your body movements and interacts with the game. No Wiimote required.

Still trying to figure out all the games. Did get the lawnmower racing and I am not coordinated enough yet on the controller to steer the lawnmower around the course. The same with furniture racing. But with the ironing, I'm doing pretty good. You actually move the controller as if you were ironing.

I like the idea of the internet connection for the multiplayer games. I just have keep practicing how to work this thing!
