Default Wii games for my Mum

My Mum's recently been playing games on the wii to distract her from stuff and keep her occupied. She used to love puzzle games on the DS but doesn't find them very good at distracting her now.
So I thought I'd get her interested in the Wii with an Agatha Christie Murder Mystery game (point n clicker basically), she's been enjoying it but now it's pissing her off because it's too slow and irritating and crap.
Now she wants something slightly faster but with thought involved and a story of some description.
It can't be too fast because of her neck injury.

Currently I'm thinking Zelda: Twilight Princess, but not sure what else. Any ideas?

Nooooo you don't want it. It's really crap, even my Mum thinks it's crap now as it's so infuriatingly illogical

I really want zelda for my little wii, i've got a wii but sod all to play on it! I've got a chip sitting next to it, but haven't had the guts to crack the soldering iron out yet, when i saw the IC legs compared to my "small" (25w) soldering iron, i thought, screw this... Haven't got round to paying for the cop-out clip on solution yet

Honestly Jen, I cant think of any game for the Wii your mum might like

Why not get her some arcade games on the Xbox instead?

Because then she'll nick the 360
We have the wii in the living room for general consumption and the 360 in my room as I play it so much.
In the past we've brought it downstairs as I've got loads of arcade games and a few retail games she'd like. It's just not convenient all the time :/

Does much happen in it? I honestly know very little about it and just thought it was an aquarium sim, but looking at some reviews it looks like there's more to it. But how slow paced is it? Worried it might be too slow.
It's very awkward trying to find a good game for someone who has no idea what they'd like!
