i played it too... i was never a fan of anything except the Playstation and/or xbox but when i played this at saw all the features it really is a pretty cool little machine! nice for some "fun" games like mario etc...
i also liked the tennis game, where you have to swing the controller like a real tennis racket! pretty funny watchin 2 epople play against each other!
Totally agree, there are cool PS2 games for drunk mates, like the guitar one, or Mashed (this one is hilarious) but the Wii being focused in that type of games seems to be the party winner for me. IMO
