Mini Ninjas is one of the cutest family friendly Wii games I have seen in a while. The game is an action adventure that's low on gruesome assassinations and high on lighthearted fun.

The storyline is great, while the graphics are as good as it gets on the Wii. Where the game developers have really succeeded is in creating a very special Asian feel to the game. The mountains, valleys, rooftops and rivers create a fluid and fun background for the game.

The soundtrack is done with Chinese instruments which ads to the authentic feel of the game.

The Wii Fit is a must for anyone looking to get into shape. It's great for improving your strength, balance and managing your body weight.

The Wii Fit comes with some great games that motivate you to keep coming back for your workout.

The are many games such as skateboarding, island cycling, hula hooping, segwaying, rhythm parade, circus juggling and perfect 10. My personal favorite is the Bulls-Eye game. In the game you have to fly around and land on certain targets. You go up by flapping your arms and leaning in the right direction. The flapping reduces your weight so the board can tell how hard you are flapping. It's a great exercise for firming up flabby arms.

You can setup a training schedule with a dozens of Yoga postures and strength training activities then save the workout and use it again in the future.

Mario Kart is a great fun racing game for the whole family.

The tracks and game-play in Mario Kart is fun for all ages. It's an easy game to learn but fun even for more serious players. I particularly enjoy racing against human players.

The racing is less stressful and competitive than racing games on other platforms. The focus is definitely on less serious fun.

The formula has been changed a bit from the earlier Lego games.

They now have better weapon function, with the Wii remote targeting. It also has new improved vehicle challenges that I found to be fun. The graphics have also been greatly improved.

The game is stretched over a very large area. This gives you a sense of both freedom and scale.

I found playing through the scenes from the Indiana movies to be the most fun.

If you like the Lego games, you'll definitely love Lego Indiana Jones 2.
