Was very critical of WSR and WM= before I owned them. Now that I do own them...

I know that I was right about it in everything I was saying. WM+ is a gimmiky and innaccurate POS. WSR is garbage in every sense of the word. The golf barely works, same with the biking. wakeboarding sucks and so does frisbee.

I'm quite an avid golfer and can hit and aim my shots quite well. I sometime hit the top of the ball or whatever but hooks and slices are a RARE thing for me in real life. But no matter how I swing this wiimote I slice. Unless I twist my hand like a mofo as it's coming down.even if I hit b to set the swing plane parallel to the ground and swing perfectly straight like that it slices.

in wakeboarding as soon as I flick the controller to get huge air off the wake i look at the controller to make absolute sure it's flat when I hit the water but he still wipes out on the huge jumps.

wish I could get my $60, this crap wasn't worth it. not one bit.

Why'd you spend $60? Not a smart move.

I'm guessing your not an avid golfer if you occasionally 'hit the top of the ball', because that is easily corrected after a few rounds. The golf on WSR is not the same as in real life, you are correct, but based on the graphics I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to. The reason you are hooking the ball is how closed the Wii Mote is at impact, which is not like in real life, but how they do it in the game.

You can complain all day, but every game has minor errors, EVERY GAME. Just have fun playing them.

I hate to say this, I really do, but you're doing it wrong. Don't worry about the controller itself. Watch the board on the screen and flatten it out in relation to the water. Especially on the big jumps, this means your controller won't be anywhere near flat, but the board will be.

For golf, it just doesn't work like a real swing. Try Tiger Woods for golf with Wii Motion Plus. It's pretty amazing. It actually helped my real game quite a bit this year, especially with putting. It takes a few rounds to make adjustments to your swing to correct any natural draw or fade, but after just a little practice, you'll have great control over it.

Give it more time if you care about enjoying your purchase. You have to figure out how to tweak your approach to any motion controls to get them to work best.

Uh duh video game genius, why would someone make a game that you have to be a pro golfer to play? Use very very simple common sense. Just because your no good because you cant realize that your playing a game and every game must have parameters doesn't mean there something wrong with the device. There is something wrong with your play.

Yeah, I'm in the process of aquiring TW golf as we speak. Hopeing for a better golf game then WSR. I'm also getting The conduit and little kings story. I wasn't expecting much out of WSR so it's not much of a dissapointment. I just REALLY wanted to like the wakeboarding as I also do in this sport virtually every weekend.

To the guy that said I'm not an avid golfer because I hit the top of the ball. I know exactly what I do wrong in my swing that makes me hit it wrong. I'm just having problems correcting it due to natural muscle memory. I swung like that so long it's hard to break the habit.

Also Wii Motion + isn't 100% accurate by any means. It's quite easy to confuse the game/controller on many of the games. especially in duelling I notice that the sword doesn't always follow the swing path I decided to use. especially bottom left to upper right diagnal strikes. Don't fall into the hype and believe something just because someone else tells you too.

Same, anyone who says M+ is inaccurate is either playing with a busted M+, or hasn't played it at all.

Inaccurate? Absolutely not. Try Tiger Woods PGA Tour '10. Dead accurate to every last movement you make. In fact, WSR is too, it records all the movements you make perfectly, a slight twist of the wrist or forward movement is always recorded. I have a feeling you had trouble with the controls and decided to blame it on WM+, rather than, well, the actual controls. With the Power Boat, you can't blame that on the WM+ at all, it does exactly what you say, it's just the controls are poor.

I enjoy WSR, and think the WM+ should be incorporated into any game where it can be applied well.

Really I don't think you're being fair in your judgment since you said they would be crap and don't want to be wrong.

Completely accurate, Motion Plus is. The only thing that it didn't do was let me hold a sword over my shoulder like Squall in FF VIII...lol
