The perfect game for Wii newbies and video-game newbies in general!!

User Rating: 8 | Wii Sports WII
After hearing some less then stellar reviews for Wii Sports I have to say that I was pleasantly suprised with the game. Different games have different purposes and this game fulfills it's purpose to the T! This is a multi-player game, first of all. If you look at it from a single-player persepective it is not all that great. However, when you get a couple of people on the wii-motes, this game becomes a barral of fun.

GAMEPLAY - The gameplay is not complex but it does give you enough control that there is still strategy involved. I personally think all 5 games are fine, some people don't like one or the other, but they all have their unique charm and there everyone has their favorite. My complaints are that I wish Wii-Baseball had more depth (i.e. baserunning and fielding). I also wish Wii Boxing had a couple more moves. Graphics - The graphics are unimpressive, and though the artistic style fits the mood perfectly, I still think they could've accomplished this style and at the same time made the game more visually appealing. If you have hardcore gamer friends, it'll take them alittle while to stop thinking about the graphics, and just have fun.

Sound - Don't really recall the sound all that much. It was fine, and just the fact that it is not being intrusive or annoying is enough for me to give this game an 8. It also makes good use of the Wii-mote speaker to let players know when it's their turn or for sound effects.

Value - It's free, included with the Wii, and is the perfect game to get people playing the Wii, this is a game that though I won't play on my own often, I know I'll always have it in my collection and will be the first game I pull out when I have friends or family over.

Reviewer's Tilt - I really like the idea of Wiisports and I think Nintendo did a good job at executing the plan. My only complaint is that I wish there was alittle more single-player depth. There are some modes that look fun and might get me playing Wii-sports when I'm bored with my other games, but some kind of campaign mode or adventure mode would've been awesome. Despite that, this title was executed nearly to perfection.
