4/12 games are great, 5/12 are ok, 2/12 complete screw ups. Interested to see the verdict then read on.
THE GREAT
Swordplay is a great part of the game but is let down by the Wii Remote going out of sync every 5 seconds whilst playing Showdown, Duel and Speed Slice are great fun with no stuff ups and are great fun If you just love swordplay or flailing around a blunt object (Zelda lovers will adore this game).
Wake boarding is just plain awesomeness, nothing feels better than speeding along the ocean jumping wakes and getting great air and flips and spins etc.
It has a great practice mode where you can go for a full 5 min test run on your board and try out new tricks to prepare you for the main event, all in all a very fun addition to WSR.
Power Cruising is fun if you like to just ride the sea and enjoy the resort scenery and catching that occasional huge wave splashing back into the water and going on, has an ok single player event where you have to ride through the rings and being as accurate as possible to get through when the 2x point rings appear.
Airsports is the best thing they have on the game, very fun, addictive, it'll have you flying around the island for ages looking for those 80 "!" points and collecting them in each of the 3 times of that day, Nighttime flying is spectacular and a treat when you fly around the town and hear the festival going on and feels great when flying over the beach with the bonfire going and people cheering you on, it gives you a seance of feeling that you are really in the resort.
Also flying to the max height then cutting your engine and zooming down is a real thrill ride.
Skydiving is awesome fun and the photos are a treat to look at.
Overall Airsports is the Best in the game.
THE OK
I'm going to shorten the reviews into the good and the bad to save a bit of time.
Archery
Good - Good seance of accomplishment when you hit that bullseye, getting a 9 is not that hard but varies with wind.
Bad - Steep learning curb, wind is very confusing weather to go against it or with it.
Table Tennis
Good - Brings back good memories of Tennis on the original, easy to get a grasp of.
Bad - Repetitive, Gets dull easy, it's too easy to win
Golf
Good - Has the classic stages of the original
Bad - The new ones are crap, who the hell wants to go though 18 holes of Wii golf, If your good at the original you'll probably be crap at this and vice versa.
Bowling
Good - Has great new modes
Bad - Wii Motion Plus screws up the skill you had of the original, I got 300 on Wii Sports, 104 on Resort, you awing left ball goes right.
Cycling
Good - Fun to zoom around the island on a bike, brings you up close to the island.
Bad - Controls are retarded, Steering is very hard to master.
THE BAD
These will be really short because they have barely any good points.
Frisbee
Good - Dog is cute, good innovation
Bad - Innovation goes out the door when getting the Frisbee to go straight is such a chore, Frisbee golf WTF
Canoeing
Good - Good scenery
Bad - Tedious, you'll realize what the hell you were doing after about 3 times.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All up a pretty decent game, great single player, lacks multilayer capabilities and needs more depth in some of the sports, An awesome idea would be to add a Car or another vehicle to drive around the island, even the choice to free walk around the island would be cool and go inside the different building s and to travel to each different sport location would be excellent and add a whole new level of awesomeness an already great game.
Hope you found this informative and if so, mark it as helpful
