Wii Sports includes Baseball, Tennis, Bowling, Boxing and Golf games for the Nintendo Wii......
Wii Sports is a great introduction into the Wii system itself. before you start playing Wii Sports you need to cast aside a few thoughts. First off, this is not a the graphics blow my mind away collection of games, secondary you probably wont play most of these games solo. Wii Sports is ment to be played with a group of people or a friend. Now that those two things are cast aside lets look at Wii Sports.
There are five different games in Wii Sports, Tennis, Golf, Bowling, Boxing and Baseball. Each has its own way to play the game. Tennis I played with a friend you can play up to 4. The graphics where fun and my player was customised to my profile..he sort of looked like me. Playing Tennis is as easy as swinging the controler to hit the ball or as specific as putting a top spin on the ball when you hit it. Golf was next on my list Again this was played 2 player, it was easy enough to pick up but again had the ability to get more specific if you wanted to get better. Now bowling was my favourite game, for this game we had 4 people playing. Again once you get the swing of using the controller to bowl its very fun. Picture your friends bowling in your living room while you taunt them to hit a gutter ball..uber fun. Boxing was the one i least liked, its a two player game that utilizes both controllers per player...i rated this one the lowest of the group. Baseball was fun as well we played it 2 player and it was pretty wasy to play you can pitch and the other player is the batter.
Overall the system got me moving around and after playing for 4 hours with a group of friends by elbow felt the usage. You may have heard about all the people breaking the straps...well if you go to excess sure you can break the strap, but take it from our team if you play the game normally you will have no issues. All the games were very fun and we recommend them,,,except boxing.
Cons
Most of the cons are with Boxing and the controler. First off we are not sure if this issue is with the particular game or the wireless connection. As the connection worked fine for other games we have to say boxing was not built well enough. It did not respond fast enough to our moves or blocks, and in many cases we found it hard to see what was going on if we where in front of another player...even though the transparence was on there where still issues.
Interesting Info
For bowling you can put some extra gust behind the ball and even make it spin..pretty fun and in baseball if you dont want to let the other player see what you are pitching you dont have to use the full motion of the pitch...just move the controller in the direction you wan it to go
