Default Re: Quick Thoughts on the New Systems

360 - Awesome graphics, great selection. Online play is a little annoying since the microphone randomly doesn't work at times. Sometimes hard to actually connect to games.

My favorite games: Tony Hawk's Project 8, Guitar Hero II, Crackdown, Geometry Wars.

Wii - Only played Wii Sports, 5 minutes of Zelda, and 5 minutes of some operation game. Clever design, graphics aren't nice but I don't really care. Didn't really like Wii Sports, it was way too basic. I think once sports games are more specialized (as in not package so many in one title) they will rock. Boxing was the only fun game. Baseball is weak since it's basically timing, would be better if your speed and angle actually meant something. Same with tennis. Where you hit the ball depends on the timing. Would be better if the angle of your remote mattered.

Too early to tell how nice the Wii will be. I'm looking forward to Mario Party and the different Mario Sports.
