Okay, so my sister and brother-in-law just bought a Wii for their family for Christmas. I'm pretty sure they bought the standard Wii and Wii Sports bundle, so I'm looking for a game to help them start their collection. They have four girls, all under the age of 13. I'm after suggestions for games that will appeal to young girls, involve the whole family, complement Wii Sports (i.e. games of a different style) and showcase the Wii. That's not too much to ask, is it? Oh, and using Miis is a plus, but not essential.

I've had a quick look at some of the Sim titles available (Sims 2: Castaway, Sims 2: Pets and MySims). MySims looked promising, but I've heard bad things about the game's loading times. I also want something that they can play as a family, or at least that the girls can play together. I've also looked at Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz. I like the way it uses the Wii remote, but I'm worried that my nieces may not like the theme/characters.

So far, Super Mario Galaxy is looking like a winner. Who knows? I may just need to be convinced that I should get it for them.

Keep in mind that I'm in Australia. Games like Zack and Wiki haven't been released yet. Thanks in advance for any contributions.

My sims is defenitly something for gils in that age, Mario Galaxy should be a hit.

For famaly play a party game: Mario Party, Raving Rabbits, Mario & Sonic at the Olympics. Big brain accademy: Wii Degree.
