How can you "test" a Wii game?

[rayden54]

I bought a used Wii game from the local pawn shop, and the store owner only gave me until tomorrow to test it. I don't have enough time to play the entire game before then, and I don't know enough about console games to evaluate it.

I do know enough about DVDs to know that putting a disc in the player and seeing a menu pop up doesn't mean that the movie will play all the way through. Especially if there's a scratch somewhere on the disc-which this game has.

If this were just a DVD I'd try to rip it to my computer and see if any errors pop up. I also know that DVDs are read from the inside out, and that a scratch near the edge of a disc means that the error (if any) is near the end of the movie, and so I can look for that spot.

Is there anything similar I can do for Wii games? If not, then I think I'm gonna have to take it back. There's one deep looking scratch on it that I'm not sure I can polish out.

I may just be paranoid, but I've spent the last week trying to watch a few episodes of Lost on DVD, and Good Grief my rental place needs to take better care of their discs! It seems that 1 out of every 10 discs I get from there won't play through no matter how many times I try to polish it.
