Gamespot is low-balling this game. Just do some boxing with some old friends and you'll see why it's at least a 9.25.

User Rating: 9.2 | Wii Sports WII
Wii Sports doesn't have much to it in the graphics arena, but it makes up for it entirely in gameplay. Some say that the controls are a little unresponsive, but they just haven't taken the time to finesse the controls - to be observant of what your character is doing on screen when you move the Wiimote.

You get an awesome upper body workout too.

If you're playing this game alone, yeah, it's going to kind of get pretty old over a bit of time. But hey, if you're with friends, this game will continue to return dividends on the $250 + tax investment you made on the Wii.
