#1. Super Smash Bros.
Our #1 top rated Wii game is Super Smash Bros. by Nintendo. This is the third installment in Nintendo’s popular Super Smash Bros. fighter franchise.
It is loaded with all the characters and features players have loved from the two previous versions, plus much more.
Gameplay is superb and will keep you entertained for hours. It is a worthy addition to the series and yet another must-have title for the Nintendo Wii. This is my favorite game currently. I play it with friends each weekend.
#2. Mario Kart Wii
Coming in #2 on the list of top rated Wii games is Mario Kart Wii. It is a classic game that has been Wii-invented and the worldwide race is
on with a whole new set of tricks, tracks, and ways to play!
I used to play this in college on the Nintendo 64 and the Wii version is even better. Play a whole new way with the Wii Wheel! The Wii Wheel transforms the Wii Remote into a steering wheel that feels natural in anyone's hands, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk offer a classic control style for the Mario Kart veteran.
In either configuration, you can perform dramatic speed-boosting tricks like jumps, flips, and wheelies and with the shake of a Wii Remote. Take the race worldwide! Play with up to three friends in your living room.
#3. Super Mario Galaxy
Our #3 ranked Wii game is Super Mario galaxy. In this game Mario returns and takes his next adventure into space. Follow him as he travels from planet to planet
bending the rules of gravity. Players experience perspective shifts as they run upside down thru alien worlds.
Meet challenges like surfing on a ray in an ocean in the clouds, rolling a ball through a treacherous garden, or floating in a bubble over a poisonous swamp. A special co-operative function allows a second player to collect star bits for Mario or take care of enemies in his way. This title also includes opportunities to change Mario into a Boo or a bee. A top rated game indeed.
#4. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
This was the top selling game of the holiday season. The third game from the Guitar Hero series is going to rock even harder.
You will channel your inner guitar god as you rock your way through all sorts of venues. In addition to standard
Guitar Hero features you know and adore, this game has all kinds of killer options such as the new multiplayer
action-inspired battle mode, grueling boss battles, a bevy of exclusive unlockable content, and authentic rock venues.
The expanded online multiplayer game modes will also allow axe-shredders worldwide to compete head-to-head for true legendary rock status. Best of all, check out the new songs! The game includes one guitar which utilizes the Wii controller.
#5. No More Heroes
This is the top rated action game for Wii. In it you are Travis Touchdown, a normal guy (with an otaku geek streak)
who wins a Beam Katana through an online auction and uses the weapon to start a new career as a professional killer.
One day, an assassin named Helter Skelter appears before Travis and the two face off in a battle. Travis emerges victorious and finds himself in the presence of Silvia Christel, a mysterious French woman who claims to be an agent with the UAA. Silvia gives Travis official rank of 11 in the organization. Now, it's up to you to become #1. The great thing is Gameplay is all about using your Beam Katana to defeat enemies. It is very realistic and takes advantage of the incredible Wii remote.
#6. Zack & Wiki Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure
Zack & Wiki is a delightful blend of the Wii's motion-sensing technology and challenging yet approachable puzzle design.
Zack & Wiki is the top rated wii game for kids. As a little pirate with big dreams, Zach doesn't just have his sights set on mere treasure or spectacularly speedy pirateships - he wants to be the greatest pirate who ever lived! To reach that lofty goal, he is going to have to outwit, outsmart and outduel every obstacle that gets in his way. It's a good thing he's found his new enchanted pal, Wiki, a magical hand bell with the power to transform any object into something practical.
Get ready to explore seven vibrant and fantastic lands, from lush jungles and frigid ice temples to colossal castles and floating airships. Use the Wii Remote to navigate, open objects, transform items and unlock new pathways with a whole new variety of methods. Even boss battles are puzzle-based, so you'll need to think on your feet creatively and problem solve!
