A fun game which you should buy for the extra wii remote if you want, but it couldn't stand out as a game on it's own.

Wii Play, a 9 mini-game collection which comes with a free wiimote! What more can you ask for? Wii play is a 1-2 player game in which you do short mini-games with your mii. First of all, using your mii feature is a very smart and positive part of the game, as in only a small handfull of Nintendo Wii games has the ability to use the miis in the game. At first you start off with only 1 mini-game, and you have to beat each individual mini-game to unlock the next, until you have unlocked them all. This is quite a poor attempt to increase the lifespan of the game, as this should only take you about fifteen minutes, at maxinum. In 1-player mode, if you do good in a mini-game you earn a bronze,silver,gold, or a plantinum medal. These medals seem to have little value, except for boasting about how you got one of the metals with your friends. Sometimes I wonder if you unlock something if you get the plantinum medal for all the games. Anyway, and in 2-player mode you basically play with another person. I believe this is a more superior and fun version than it's 1-player mode counterpart. Now let's get on to what the mini-games are.

Shooting Range: You basically shoot targets,baloons, soda cans, unidentified flying objects (UFOS), and ocassional ducks. If your looking for this game for nostalgic reasons (Duck Hunt for the Nintendo Entertainment System), this game will not satisfy that, as you only occasionaly shoot ducks for bonus points, and the dog we all love that was in Duck Hunt, is gone. 7.0/10.

Find Mii: Quite fun and a little challenging sometimes. You basically point out different miis based on what you say, such as find two look-alikes, find which mii us running the fastest, find three odd miis, find the miis your using, and more. I personally find this game quite fun, but it certainly isn't sensational. 6.5/10.

Table Tennis: You just basically move your wiimote slightly and make your held paddle move to where the ball is. It's fun, but it's very shallow. 7.0/10.

Pose Mii: You just simply move and twist the wiimote around and press buttons to switch poses to pop bubbles. If you get all the bubbles you get extra points. This game is quite boring, and it gets too difficult when you get into the higher levels. I got sick of this game right after my first time playing it. 4.5/10.

Laster Hockey: Move your wiimote around to get an object into the other persons goal. Nothing wrong with it. Quite fun, but again not sensational. 7.8/10.

Billiards: The motion you do to hit the ball feels really good, and once you get use to it, is easy to do. It's pretty fun,challenging, and the matches aren't too short either. The only problem is that it's a little boring. 7.9/10.

Fishing: The graphics in this look like paper colored with crayons, which is pretty nice and cute to look at. The controls are great and it's very fun as well. The fish you get either increase or decrease your points, and all the time there's a fish which you can ctach and you will get double the points. I really like this one. 8.6/10.

Charge: Fun, quick, and exciting, with great controls once you get used to it! My favorite, one and it rules! You are on a cow, and you knock down scarecrows to get points. If you knock down a whole row of them you get 5 extra "perfect" points. There's also a jumping scarecrow which you get 15 points if you knock it down. It seems the story is that your riding a cow back to it's farm, because it escaped, most likely. You also get timing points in single-player mode, which is how long it took to get back to the farm it seems,the time you have left is the time bonus points you get. 9.8/10.

Tanks!: A game in which you go shooting other tanks. Very fun, and is one of my favorites on the game! 9.2/10.

There's a review of all the known mini-games on Wii Play. Overall, this game is a game which should be bought if you want the extra wii remote, and will provide you with some fun, but if you want this just for the game, don't buy it.
