this game was made to showcase the wiimote so its not a good thing it got a 5.5. rockstar183
It got a 5.5 because it's shallow and is not really a game as you might expect. It's not like Wii-play makes crappy use of the Wii-mote or anything. A 5.5 for a tech demo is expected.
[QUOTE="coolviper2003"][QUOTE="rockstar183"]http://wii.ign.com/articles/763/763835p1.html 5.5 that hurts NeoStar9
Wii play isn't really a game, it's like Wii sports. It's just something to mess around with to show some of the things you can do with the Wii-mote.
As a result it and Wii Sports really shouldn't even have scores attached to them anyway. They should be scored since people want to know wheter to buy it or not, but its just 10$ more for the extra Wiimote and game so its not like anyone would think it was an amazing game.

It's funny that they try to bash a tech demo, and based off of that they say the controller is gimmicky and a waste. Most don't realize that there are other games that make much better use of the Wii-remote then Wii-sports, Elebits and Trauma Center come to mind.

Wii play does make decent use of it, it got a bad score because it's not really a GAME.

Wii play isn't really a game, it's like Wii sports. It's just something to mess around with to show some of the things you can do with the Wii-mote. Well, if its ANYTHING like wii sports then its going to be the life of my circle of friends get toegethers/parties. I cant tell you how many games we have played of bowling, golf and tennis....the number would be astonishing. So it would be great if wii play is like that, 5.5 or not, because it seems that reviewers are out of touch when it comes to why people enjoy Wii when compared to traditional consoles/games.........Wiisports didnt get a great score yet i have played more of that game since it came out than ALL the other games i've purchased or rented COMBINED.
What worries me about the IGN review is the constant mention of non-responsive controlls. I can understand the lack of depth in a 10$ game, but considering that it is a tech demo for the controller and a 1st party game it should have had amazing controlls. I will still get it for the extra controller eventually.

Are you ranting off to me? I own a Wii with six games (not including Wii-sports). It's fun, I've spent many hours playing Wii-Sports with my friends. With that said, it's still more of a tech demo then a game, you can't dispute that. Wii-play is no different, it's just something to show off a little bit of what the Wii-mote can do, if it turns out to be fun then it's fun, but it is what it is.

The thing I've noticed about the Wii remote and the sensor bar is you have be a nice distance away from it for it to pick up the controller. Not to far but a good distance you should be away from the TV anyway when watching it, which is where the bar should be in the first place. Being right up on the bar itself can cause problems with the control, that and if you don't check the control senestivity (which could need changing depending how far away you tend to sit or the screen you use) that could be a problem as well. I would like to know if those were checked before calling foul on Wii Play first. Considering it's a 1st party tech demo I would't be so quick anyway to throw around the phrase "non-responsive controls".

I agree, I don't think Nintendo would release a broken game, or tech demo in this case. The motion sensing in Wii-Play isn't even that demanding so I don't see how Nintendo could've screwed this up, considering all of the other titles they've released thus far have very responsive controls.
