Wii Sports is commonly referred to an introducing game or sometimes not even a real game for the Wii. That is wrong.
There are three parts of the game; Wii Fitness; Training; and the different sports.
The sports area is probably the area explored by most, but it isn't the best part of the game even if it's really entertaining. There are five sports in total; Tennis, Baseball, Bowling, Golf and Boxing. As you play you will earn points, or lose points if you play really bad. If you get a total of 1000 points or more you will get the honorable title 'pro' to show off every time you beat your friends easily. As you get more and more points your opponents in Single Player will get harder and harder.
The Training department involves a set of three exercises for every sport included in the game. From the beginning there will only be one of each sport available, but as you try the different exercises you will unlock more of them. Here you can set your own high-scores beat them and earn medals- bronze, silver and gold. I just can't get enough of it. The bronze medals aren't that hard to get, you just need to understand what to do and hoa to do it. The silver medals are a little harder and the gold medals are for some games a real challenge.
The Wii Fitness is a day-to-day test of skill in three random games from the Training department of the game. Your results will be tested in speed, stamina and balance. The results will show up after you have gone through all three games. In the results screen you will see your fitness age, kind of like in the Brain Training series together with a diagram of your previous results and a triangle of which area you exceeded in and which area that made you older. Ah yes, tthe better results the younbger you will be, but you will be 20 years young as youngest.
There is a large difference between playing styles realted to the impression of the game. If you stand up, hold your baseball bat as in real life, hit the air with your gloves of hard plastic and put the ball with a really short club etc you will have a positive experience of the game but if you just sit in your sofa and shake your mote you won't have fun at all. Give and you will be given.
This game will hold for a long time if you just give it a chance and if you fully explore the Training and Fitness modes. The graphics are simple, but good enough to be able to play and the game will make you a character in the game, just that you move around in your living room, and what graphics are better than those of real life? The possibility to use your own mii makes this game even better, since that might make you feel even more like being a character of the game. The music, where it exists is useless, but there isn't need for it either. The sound of a tennisball from your remote or from your fist smashing someones face is amazing enough to rise the points for Sound a lot.
Either if you play this game by yourself or with friends and family(first game where I saw the latter as a possibility) you will have a lot of fun. Enjoy!
