Wii play is fun for a while but offers little lasting value Real score= 61%
So, what do you get for your money. Well there are nine minigames in total. Each is fun at first but only a few will keep you coming back time and again. The best minigames are the Tanks, billiards and paddle games. In Tanks, you control yout Tank with the nunchuck and use B to fire rockets at enemy tanks. You can also unleash mines with a tap of A. It' is simple, addictive fun and works best in multiplayer. The mutliplayer mode sees you trying to shoot more tanks than your opponnt. I think it would have been better though if you had to vie to destroy each other. That would give it a much more competitive feel.
Billiards is weak in single player but comes alive against another Human opponent. There are nine balls on the table each numbered form 1 to 9. Whoever gets the most points wins. Although to mix it up a little you lose points if you pot the cue ball or miss the target ball. The target ball feature is annoying but doesn't spoil the best game in the collection. Th paddle game is reminiscant of the hockey paddle games you find in arcades. The controls could do with some tightening up in it but it's a fun little game without holding your attention for to long.
The worst games in the package are probably the Cow racing and fishing. Nevertheless neither of them are actually bad, it's just that none of the games in the package are especially brilliant.
The use of mii's in the game feels tacked on at times. Especially when all the Mii is usually used for is as a head next to your score. They are used quite effectively in the bubble and hide and seek minigames though and enhance then well.
All in all, Wii play is a fun but short lived introduction to the wii remote that serves it's purpose well without going beyond the line of duty. It could have been better but on the other hand it could have been a lot worse.
