I'll admit it, I have terrible eye/hand coordination and timing. I like playing, but it gets frustrating not being able to win ever or get past harder levels(I have a 3700 VR on Mario Kart , and I can't get past the galaxy on Mario Galaxy where you ride on top of the ball). I was wondering what games are out there that have a lot of slow paced exploring, and are a little easier on the gaming-handicapped.

Oh yeah, I think I've decided on getting Wii Fit and Endless Ocean. Good choices for me? Oh btw, I'm 30 in case that helps with recomending me a game.

I would recommend boom blox because you can take your time and pick where to throw.

I gave up on TP because it was boring, not because it was hard. This guy seems to like boring though.

He said slow adventure!

Have you ever played Fire Emblem?

I had never played Zelda other than the first. The last adventure game I played was Sword of Vermillion on the Genesis (I think). Anyways, I had to give up about halfway through Zelda because it was too time consuming. It is a hard game for those who dont play many games.

Yes but the 3D iterations are a lot less boring, hard, and time consuming than Zelda I and Zelda II

I consider myself one of the gaming challenged as well. I recommend Wii Sports, Boom Blox, Pinball Hall of Fame and Star Soldier R (Wiiware game).

I almost would recommend Links Crossbow training because it is a simple target game but since it uses a virtual lightgun, it requires a great deal of hand eye coordination.

Thanks for all the replies! I just picked up Endless ocean and it's pretty cool. I think I'm gonna give Boom Blox a try at Blockbuster. I have Play, Sports, Mario Kart and SMG. I'll have to check out all the reviews of the games you have recommended.

Ha, I thought I was the only one! I have terrible hand-eye coordination too and I suck at games - especially situations where my character has to walk/run carefully along a ledge. I NEVER miss an opportunity to fall off a ledge! (and I also thought Zelda was too hard, I'm very easily frustrated)

I love MK and SMG too even though I'm terrible at them, at least they're still fun. I'm glad you picked up Endless Ocean! I have to add another vote for Boom Blox, it is SO MUCH FUN!!! And easy for me even with my major gaming retardation. I also like Link's Crossbow Training (comes with the Wii Zapper) but I love shooting at targets, I don't know if that's your cup of tea. It is repetitive but I play it for hours and hours and hours trying to beat my own high scores.

One game that a lot of people here haven't played much is Thrillville: Off the Rails. I don't get into the whole "become a theme park mogul" storyline but I really enjoy the minigames, and there are tons of them! It's like Carnival Games on crack. Although, I think Carnival Games utilizes the uniqueness of the Wii controllers better than Thrillville, Thrillville has a lot more variety and depth (and it's easy). Also Thrillville doesn't have the annoying carnival barkers, but it does have very childish "interactions" with the park guests that are just as lame.

Oh yeah, one other person mentioned Wii Fit. Yee haw, that is great! So you may not have hand-eye coordination, you get to use your feet! And your whole body! I just can't wait to see what else comes out for that balance board.

Awsome post, seems we have a lot in common! Maybe we can battle it out for last place in MK online sometime! It looks like Boom Blox is going to be a definate. The Links Crossbow Training sounds pretty fun as well. Thanks for the advice!
