I tried playing an FPS (forgot which one) it was completely frustrating because the controls were so counter intuitive.

The funest one I play was Mario Kart, but even that was with frustration as the steringwheel controller was neat, it didn't provide reliable and consistently accurate control of the game like I enjoyed in Nintendo 64.

The Wii certainly hits a neat market, but I just don't like it and I'd rather play the PC.
I felt the same way when I played MK Wii over at my cousin's house. I always found myself way over- or undercompensating on turns. The Wiil provides no force feedback like an actual racing wheel, limiting its usefulness.
