Agreed, but the cute art style of this belies the nature of the game. It's far too difficult for kids or even most teenagers. This is an adult puzzle game for fans of old point and click adventures, and it's very difficult.
For your family and you to play together:
-Link's Crossbow Training + the Wii Zapper is a great buy, and should deliver lots of fun.
-Wario Ware Smooth Moves is a great family party game.
-Mario Party 8 is good, but Mario Party 9 will be out in a few months so that's probably not the best choice.
-Rayman Raving Rabbids is a lot of fun.
-Excite Truck is a wild and fun racing game, but Mario Kart should be out in a few months so you may just want to wait.
-SSX Blur is a great snowboarding game.
-Mario Strikers Charged (although this game is very difficult. may be frustrating for kids)
Some family friendly single player games are:
-Super Paper Mario
-The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (though this is rated Teen for a reason, so play with discression)
-Zack & Wiki: The Quest for Barbaros' Treasure
-Elebits
-Mercury Meltdown Revolution (really fun budget puzzle game. Especially if you like Super Monkey Ball).
Some not-so-family friendly single player games are:
-Resident Evil 4 Wii
-Metroid Prime 3
-Trauma Center: Second Opinion (might be family friendly depending on ages of your kids. Your wife will probably like it.
-The Godfather: Blackhand Edition
Some not-so-family friendly multiplayer games are:
-Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles (Great co-op!)
-Trauma Center: New Blood (Sequel to Second Opinion. Same applies, but this one has co-op surgery.)
-Medal of Honor Heroes 2 (pretty good online play)
I hope that helps you out. Enjoy your new console.
