A fun games for friends and family, but doesn't have the substance for hardcore gaming.
Probably the Best aspects of Wii Play is the fact that it has fun multiplayer, and that is comes with a Wii Remote if you pay about 10 extra bucks. At about $1.11 per game, its a pretty good deal.
So, the Overview for the game in its entirety is:
Gameplay: Overly simplistic gameplay can be somewhat boring but in multiplayer it can get very fun. Your main objective is to get a Gold Medal in each game.
Graphics: Once again simplistic. The game has the most Miis you will see anywhere, even on the Mii Channel.
Rating: 6.0
Now for each of the games:
Shooting Range
Overview: Shooting Range is pretty much Duck Hunt but your not hunting just ducks. You will shoot balloons, frisbee things (I forgot what they were called), Targets, Cans, and finally UFOs. You shooting using "A" and aim with the Wii Remote
Gameplay: No options make the game not so fun, but multiplayer can be fast-paced and competitive.
Rating: 8.0
Find Mii
Overview: You must click on Miis in a crowd, from ones that don't belong to ones that look alike to the fastest one in the crowd. The levels take place in streets when the Miis stand still, when their moving, on escalators, swimming, in the dark, and in space. Every time you play is unique.
Gameplay: Lots and Lots of Miis and a fun, competitive way to see which of your friends as the better eyes.

Table Tennis
Overview: Self Explanatory. You move the Wii Remote back in forth to hit the ball. You press a to serve. Repetitive and Boring.
Gameplay: Unlike Tennis on Wii Sports, you do not swing the Wii remote to hit the ball. In Single Player mode, you dont score points, you see if you can rally the ball up to 100 times.
Rating: 5.5
Pose Mii
Overview: The weirdest game in Wii Play, you press "A" and "B" to change the pose of your Mii and tilt it to match the silhouette on the bubbles that fall to the twitching white strands on the bottom.
Gameplay: It can be somewhat fun in two player, but is too weird to be fun. The falling bubbles that pop up all at once can make the game chaotic.
Rating: 6.0
Laser Hockey
Overview: One of the better games on Wii Play, the stylishly simplistic sound and neon graphics of Laser Hockey make the game enjoyable.
Gameplay: You play by moveing the Wii remote back and forth and tilt it to hit the puck in different directions. Multiplayer can be fun, but singleplayer isn't too bad either
Rating: 8.5
Billiards
Overview: Billiards is made bad by poor controls and a lack of gameplay options. You can only play nine-ball, and the controls are sort of weird.
Gameplay: Better controls and the option to play eight-ball would make the game more fun.
Rating: 4.5
Fishing
Overview: Fishing is a little weird because of the way you percept the depth of where your pole is and that the graphics are strange.
Gameplay: You move your Wii Remote around and dip it down into the pond to catch fish. When you have a bite, you pull the Remote out of the pond. The controls make it seem like your pole is in the pond when it may actually be above it. The graphics aren't too good, because the fish look like cardboard.
Rating: 5.5
Charge
Overview: You ride a cow down a country road jumping over hurdles and knocking down scarecrows. An addictive game that is great multiplayer.
Gameplay: To steer your steer (that was a pun, please do not attack me) you hold the Wii Remote sideways and tilt is left and right, forward and back. You can jump over hurdles by jerking the Remote upward. You aim to knock over scarecrows that are lined up and get points for each one trampled on and 5 points for each perfect line of scarecrows eliminated.
Rating: 9.0
Tanks
Overview: You control a tank as you navigate around wooden blocks and set mines and shoot bullets at tanks.
Gameplay: Using the Nunchuk is optional, but using it sure does help when moving. The variety of enemies such as ones that don't move, to ones that do, to ones that shoot rockets, or lay mines, or shoot rockets that ricochet off wall into your hull. Multiplayer is a co-op mode that can be very fun.
Rating: 9.0
So in Conclusion
Overview: The collection of games is okay, but multiplayer can a fun game to mess around with, and to play with your family. More options would make the game better but a simplistic game doesn't hurt.
Rating: 7.7 (8.0 is a generous score)
