Lots of fun for a cheap game.
The gameplay is something fresh and new. You don't just press a button to do things in this game. You have to use the wiimote in all sorts of ways. The controls are rather solid to my surprise and most of the minigames are fun and challenging. Graphics: The graphics are somewhat lacking but it is understandable because the cost of the game isn't that high. You will see lots of simple lines and colours you see in Wii Sports. Most of the time you'll just be looking at your Miis anyway.
Sound:
The sound is the same with Wii Sports, a lot of simple sounds like the gun sound in the shooting range minigame or the cow's moos in the cow race.The music isn't all that great, it just has lots of simple tunes which might be a pain to listen to.
Value:
The game has pretty good value for something that's worth a few dollars. You will be playing lots of this game to get the gold, silver, bronze medals and also while versing your friends in the various minigames.
Summary:
Wii Play is a good game for what is costs and if your not expecting something big with good graphics and just want something to have fun with you should pick this up with a wiimote by just shelling out the few extra dollars.
