I think the graphics are fantastic on the Wii, but it's a personal
preference. I dig the Super Paper Mario sytlized artwork over the creepy and
not quite ever real enough look of the bazillion war/shooter games
advertised for the other systems. I've got to go get the new Strikers soccer
game to give that a whirl.

The game play on the Wii is great. Take something like Madden Football,
which is the same game every year for the most part. Add some unique
gestures for control on the Wii and you have a brand new gaming experience.
