It's time for the Wii Play review! For the, well duh, Wii!
$50!?!?!? This game is $50!?!?!? Ha! Just kidding. Don't get confused by the price tag, Wii Play is NOT $50, nor is it anywhere in the vicinity of being worth $50, or $40, or $30 or $20, but MAYBE $10. So why is it so high up on the sale charts? Because the game comes bundled with a Wiimote, and THAT'S why it's $50 at your local Wal-Mart.
So let's start. There are nine games in all, which the majority are either boring, bad, or both. And to save time, I will just say that for every game, you will use the Wiimote for all of them.
The first one is Shooting Range. This game is ok. It's pretty much Duck Hunt with a few extras. You'll shoot down ducks to UFOs. Your goal is to hit as many targets as you can before the level is over. It's not hard at all. Just point and hit the B button to fire. The game can be more fun if you are playing multiplayer, where you have to shoot more targets than your friend.
The second game is Find Mii. The title says it all. Find the certain Mii in the crowd. This game, in my opinion, is just boring. The game will become more advanced as you complete each level, from spotting the two similar looking Miis, to finding the fastest Mii.
The third game is Table Tennis. Now like me, you might think that this game is supposed to be a real ping pong match against the computer. But it's not. You're supposed to rally the ball back and forth as much as you can. But if you're playing multiplayer, then it IS a real ping pong match. This is the one game that I did not enjoy playing multiplayer, because there's hardly any strategy to it. The motion sensors can either be over or under sensitive, and the depth perception is low. I suggest you play with the computer rallying the ball back and forth instead of multiplayer.
The fourth game is Pose Mii. This is a unique, but boring game. You're Mii is in the middle of the screen, controlled by your Wiimote. As you hold your Mii, bubbles from the top of your screen will begin to fall, with silhouettes in the middle. The silhouettes are of three different poses your Mii can pull off. You have to align your Mii with each bubble, with the correct pose. The game gets more challenging as more bubbles will fall at faster speeds. It may look fun and interesting, but it's only that for the first ten seconds.
The Fifth game is Laser Hockey! Or, just Pong with neon lights. This game wasn't half bad, I mean, everyone likes Pong right? The controls can feel WAY oversensitive the first time you play. There is some strategy to this game. Instead of just an up and down line to bounce the puck back and forth, you can tilt it to give it an angled shot. So instead of Pong, it's now Air Hockey!
The sixth game is Fishing. Oh my gosh, this game was SO boring the first time, I LITERALLY had to quit after the first three seconds! There is almost no color, the controls are a bit weird and sensitive, and, the fish are paper cutouts. Uh, wrong game! Go back to Paper Mario! Fishing is well, fishing, that's all it is! zZz…They tried to squeeze in a little fun by having you try to catch bonus fish for extra points. But still, this is the WORST game out of all of them!
The seventh game is Billiards. This game is pretty well done! The controls are good, and it can be pretty fun to play! You point your Wiimote at the screen, hold down the B button, move back with the Wiimote, then launch the Wiimote forward to hit the balls. It's just like a real 9 Ball game. The game will let you look at the whole table too, so you can line up your shots. You can even add a spin or bounce to the cue ball, to make the game more realistic!
The only thing I didn't care for was the point system in multiplayer mode. Even though you have to hit the correct ball at first, whichever ball you sink in after, that's how many points you get. So even if you hit more balls in the pockets, you can still lose!
The eighth game is Charge! This one is the weirdest out of all the games. You have your Mii racing the clock on a cow, who charges forward on a path towards a barn. Along the way, you hit as many scarecrows as you can, but still keep a fast pace. The controls are not the best. You hold your Wiimote on its side, and tilt it to the left and right, to move in either direction. With multiplayer, your goal is to run over more scarecrows than your opponent. Run Besse! Move that Utter!
The ninth and last game is Tanks! This is the best game out of all of them! You're a little tank in an area with other tanks that you have to shoot down first. You can play this game with either the Wiimote/Nunchuck combo, or the Wiimote alone. I prefer the Wiimote/Nunchuck combo. To attack with up to five missiles, tap the B button on the Wiimote. To set a mine, press the A button. To aim, point the Wiimote at the screen. Your missiles will not explode on the first wall they hit, but will bounce off to the next wall, or your opponent. This gives the game some strategy, and the game is even more fun when you duel your friends.
The game will award you medals for however many points you can get. There's bronze, silver, gold, and, if you're fantastic at this game, you can receive platinum medals! Ooh, ahh! The medals don't really do anything. I guess they're just there for gloating purposes.
There are only two reasons you should buy this game. One, buy it for the Wiimote that comes with it. Then again, why not just buy the Wiimote alone and save yourself 10 bucks? Anyway, two, if you want to play a game that even your grandma will understand, pick this up.You two will have LOADS of fun! Well, she will, because she'll be kicking your butt on Fishing, because you'll be asleep with boredom.
Wii Play is an ok game, but you'll still probably get bored after 10 minutes of play. If not for the fact that it's only $10, and at least four out of the nine games are decent, this game would have received a lower score. But because of those two, this game gets a 2.5/5 with the title of Bad.
