My 5 year old and I love to play it.  My child is addicted.  We owned Wii for 2 years now.  The games are challenging and fun.  Not violent or extremely hard.  He will definitely get more games from Santa Claus.  I like to play the puzzle games.  We also like that we can create the Wii person based on your own image.  My husband is not interested in Wii because he likes the more adventurous games that the other game stations offer.  He tends to play games for mature (above 17) gamers and prefers advance graphics.
