Why is this free?
Gameplay:
The gameplay of this game is known all over the world. No, not because everyone has Wii Sports, but because you actually do the moves like if it was not a videogame, but real life. Of course, that is why you bought a Wii. The gameplay is not flawless though. Since this was a launch game and it was free, of course it will not be perfect. One problem was the boxing controls were sometimes unresponsive and broken. But, this is also the only problem I saw. Tennis is perfect and even records the topspin, golf is great too, baseball is just fantastic, and bowling is exactly like real life. I give the gameplay a 9.0 because it is nearly flawless. The Wii is all about the controls, and Wii Sports shows that.
Graphics:
Not good. There is an excuse though, and that is the Mii. This game is all about the Miis, and the Miis are not what I would call good graphics. But, there is no excuse for the crowds in baseball being little colorful dots. Other than that major disappointment, the graphics are very colorful, and super clean.
I give the graphics a 6.0 because thay are not good, and we have seen the colorful and clean and will continue to see them with the Wii. So, it is nothing new. The score would have been lower, but it is using the Miis which is a good excuse.
Sound:
Even the Wii isn't about the graphics, it can do sound. This game has great sound. There really is no music in the game, except when the game starts, so that is a disappointment. But, when the crouds cheer, they sound real. When you hit the ball, it sound real. When you knock the guy out, it sounds real. That is what makes the sound section so good. I give the sound an 8.0 because other than it having no music at all, everything else is perfect.
Value:
I did not expect this to be such good in delivering the value. For one, I got this game for free, so I really expected this to be a couple of hours and I get bored. Boy was I wrong. In each sport, you need to get pro. You get pro when you reach 1000 points. That is 5 sports, to be pro you need at least an hour each game. That is 5 hours there. Count all the times you will lose, because you will, that is another 5. You are looking at a 10 hour game easy. You can get more than a 1000 points, and even be better. The game is not easy, either. On top of that, there is training and Wii fitness. Training is where you, well, train. Wii Fitness is kind of like a Brain Age for fitness. It gives you a fitness age after you do some tasks. But, where the game really shines is the multiplayer. The game was meant to be played in multiplayer. When you look at it, depending on how much you like Wii Sports, you can really pick this up anytime and it can have infinite replay value.
Tilt:
I can really play this game forever. It many sports, many modes, great multiplayer, and I don't think I will ever be bored with this game. I give the tilt a 9.0 because I know I will get bored of it, but I also know I can always pick this up. Once you have the Wii remote in your hard playing Wii Sports, you can't really put it down.
Overall:
Overall, I did not expect this much fun with Wii Sports. I mean come on, is this game really free? How can a free game really be this fun? I keep asking myself that question to this day. Thank you Nintendo for giving this for free. To tell you the truth, I would have never gotten this game if it cost me cash because I thought it was stupid. Well, it wasn't.
