Just got my Wii on Saturday and want to get a game for the kids to play. They are under the age of ten. I would really appriciate any suggestions, thanks.

The one that my kids (ages 6 & 8) are crazy about is called Rayman Raving Rabbits. You basically have to stop a horde of crazy rabbits, armed with plungers, from taking over your island. Lots of fun mini-games in it, like pig-milking, cow tossing and a dance dance revolution type game that you have to jump around like a crazy fool in...LOL. I'd recommend that one.

Thank you very much. I am going to look for it when I go to the store. Sounds like a lot of fun. My kids are the same ages.

You picked a great system! Nintendo is pretty kid oriented, so you will probably have a good selection. Personally, I am totally hooked on Warioware: Smooth Moves. It is so much fun, so easy to pick up, and multiplayer! It's actually a series of "microgames". They really force you to get active too. It includes things like jumping and "hula hooping". I also heard good things about Super Monkey Ball. But a friend of mine says it's very similar to Wario. I'd rent them both first and see which one I liked better.

I was also going to recommend the Wario Smooth Moves game! The Mario franchise is always kid friendly, and this one has tons of little mini games that get you moving in different ways, so it stays fun.

I will have to look into Wario. Thanks. You are right the Nintendo is great for the kids to play. My children have been playing the Wii ever since we got it a week ago.It is great because they can be physically active and that is always good.

Thanks for the feedback. I bought Rayman the other day and it is pretty fun for the kids.Excite truck is the best. My kids love this game.I just looked for Warioware on Monday and did not see it anywhere.

I can recommend Wii Play and Warioware: Smooth Moves. Wii Play is great for kids, plus you get a free remote! :D Warioware is one of the funniest games I've ever played. It's also kid-oriented, with colourful and cartoon-y graphics. I'm sure your kids will love it.

My sister has Wii Play and it is pretty fun. I like the duckhunt type game the best. I have not tried Warioware yet. I think I am going to rent it first to try it out. I have been hearing good things about it.
