Overall, Wii Sports brings us and introduction to using Wii remotes, and it gives us a whole new experience with gaming.
Although there are only a few sports to the package, it does bring in some entertainment for a good while. All of the sports are just exact simulations of these sports in real life. In baseball, you swing the Wii remote exactly like how you swing a bat. The controls are precise for the most part. When you pitch the ball, you use your remote to throw the ball. Just like a usual baseball game, you try to hit home runs and try to get your players out. Overall, baseball is a good, short game to play for a good while. It does lack in extra settings like innings, and practice modes.
In golf, you use your remote to swing like a golf club. There is a small meter in the bottom, right handed corner in the TV, and it let you know how hard or soft you're swinging. The only complaint I have with golf is trying to putt a ball (near the hole) can be frustrating because it doesn't always allow you to swing the golf club accurately. Meaning while you try to swing the ball while pressing the B button, the controls don't always work. That could result in having double bogeys sometimes and irritate you slightly. I know this happens to me frequently. When you press the B button while you swing, your swings will be soft which is good to sink the hole in. On the other hand, far away swings are a lot easier to grasp. Overall, they could have worked on the controls a little bit more.
The rest of the sports (bowling, boxing, and tennis) have very precise controls, and the game play is simple to grasp and play.
Also, there's a training mode and fitness records mode. In training mode, you can just practice a sport that you may have trouble in. In fitness mode, you have an objective from each sport you play. For example, in tennis you rally the ball as many times as you can. After you play all of the sports, you receive a Wii Fit Age depending on how well your performance was.
Overall, Wii Sports brings us and introduction to using Wii remotes, and it gives us a whole new experience with gaming. However, the major features that hurt this game are online mode and lots of extra modes.
The good - great multiplayer modes, new innovating to gaming and using your Miis, all of the sports have some depth
The bad - no online play, modes are lacking in variety (not enough sports and modes), controls are awkward in golf sometimes
Presentation - 9 Nintendo's new innovations were keeping us active and having your very own character that began from Wii Sports. There are a total of five sports in the package that comes with the Wii.
Graphics - 7 The graphics are basic, clean, and polished for the most part.
Sound - 6 The music is relaxing and very basic, but it's not very innovative this time around.
Game play - 8 The controls are fine in most games, but golf has frustrating controls in sinking in the hole sometimes.
Lasting Approval - 5 You can have up to four players in most of the games, use training mode, and fitness mode. Too bad there's no online play, and the modes are seriously lacking.
Overall 7.0 out of 10.
