Playing games on the Wii

I was given a Wii with Wii balance board for my birthday a couple of months ago, was great for the first week or 2 but it's now got rather boring and I can't really find any decent games for it - that are less than £20 anyway - and I refuse to pay stupid amounts for a game.

The only types of games I'm really interested in are driving, sports, group games and music stuff. So anyone got any recommendations?
My other question is, can you actually play games online with other people like you can on PC's, Xbox's etc? Coz I haven't seen anything about being able to do this but surely with the internet connection set up and everything you must be able to!

Mario Kart can be had for around £30 new, and you can race up to 12 other people online.

I'm tempted to sell my Wii now as in the 5 months we've had it, we've used it maybe three times. I play with the DS Lite far more often.

If it wouldn't cause such an uproar in my house so soon after getting the Wii I'd probably have the PS2 back down from the loft by now! Laughing

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that thinks this. I bought a wii for my parents and sister some time back, and it's been barely used, because, IMHO, the games are either for multiplayer, or are tedious as fuck.
Pity, really: it's innovative, but just not innovative enough.

Yep, Wii maybe a massive seller, but it is also a massive let down and paperweight. My parents bought one last year and they don't use it anymore.
