Wii Play with Wii Remote

I bought this for my husband and he and my daughters play this all the time. The Wii is an incredible toy to begin with. But, the games that come with this remote are hilarious. They especially love the skeet shooting game (the end where the aliens show up and try to take the people away has us cracking up every time!). But, my favorite is watching them do the cow races. Too funny! If you have a Wii you NEED this extra remote and cool game disc.

This product is a bargain-priced game ($10) bundled with a not-so-bargain-priced WiiMote ($30). It is an excellent novelty for adults AND children, but the fun wears off after a few weeks of play. I gave this product a 4-star fun rating because though some of the games bombed, some of them are truly fun to play. The WiiMote that comes with the game worked fine for me, and came with batteries and a clear protective cover (unlike my first WiiMote.) Sometimes the connection with the game is a little patchy, but not very often. Now, for the 9 minigame overviews... SHOOTING RANGE- 7/10 Quick and fast-paced. The goal is to shoot ducks, targets, balloons, and UFOs. It becomes a little repetitive, with the targets going in nearly the same order every time, but other than that its a lot of fun. Slow players be wary! FIND MII- 5/10 A little slow, but still all right. The goal is to find the Miis with certain characteristics- look-alikes, sleepyheads, fastest Mii, etc. The modes of play are all pretty much the same, but the settings are varied. Its especially fun to play with someone else, but you need sharp eyes to win! POSE MII- 2/10 Boring and slightly confusing at first. The goal is to pose your Mii and insert it in little bubbles before they pop. The bubbles go faster and faster until youre eventually beaten, so theres no real winning on single player. I didnt really get this game. PING PONG- 6/10 Fast-paced, but can be confusing at times. The goal is to keep returning each others serves, but its much different from real Ping-Pong. In this you simply block the ball from flying off the table- no swinging serves, spinning, etc. Still, its interesting enough and has good replay value. LASER HOCKEY- 6/10 COOL sums it up pretty well. The laser effects are a great touch, and this game is a lot of fun with another person. Sometimes the puck is slow, however, and its frustrating when it gets stuck in the corners or right outside the goal. Quite realistic, though! CHARGE!- 7/10 Hilarious at first, but the fun does wear off after running on the same track every time. At first the concept of riding a cow, collecting scarecrows, and leaping over hurdles is enough to make you want to play over and over again, but once you get used to it the funs gone. PLAY WITH ANOTHER PLAYER! FISHING- 4/10 A little odd. The goal is to catch the fish that they want you to catch, but for players who havent mastered their Wii controls properly, its confusing and difficult. Its really nothing like fishing, because all of the fish fight to bite the hook. The graphics are interesting, though! BILLIARDS- 8/10 For pool/billiards fanatics (or even dabblers) this game is a dream come true. Its realistic and has fairy simple conrtrols. The only problem is that the mode of play (9-ball pool) cannot be changed. Good for people who are beginners or novices, too! TANKS- 9/10 HILARIOUS and a TON of fun! I personally like this game the best. You steer your little toy tank around a battlefield of bricks, shooting and bombing enemy tanks (the goal is to blow them up.) You get lives on single player, but on multiplayer (where you work as a team) you dont. The Nunchuk can be used if you are really intent on winning, but for casual gamers the D-pad should suffice. Overall, I think this game has something for everyone! Adults will like Billiards for sure, and kids will enjoy Charge!. If youre thinking about purchasing a new WiiMote, I suggest you get this bundle (its not really worth it alone.)

While there are quite a number of games to play, not many are that great. The fun ones include Target Practice, Laser Hockey, and a strange version of 9 Ball. The scoring for 9 Ball is what makes it strange however the physics and the graphics are very realistic making it a fun game to play. Tank battle is OK however I was really disappointed to discover there is not an option to battle other players head-to-head. If they had added that it would be wonderful. The upside is that for the price of the controller and the games this is actually a pretty good value.

We have so much fun with these little games -- just pick them up & enjoy! I am not very competitive, so I enjoy playing for fun, not to beat everyone else in the room! The race is amusing & the faster you go, the crazier the ride. I had to work at it a bit to get my score up, since the scarecrows pop up & skid away quickly I like the other games as well, and found I was pretty good at some of the shooting challenge... even though I have never done anything like that before. The ducks always surprise you... and are a bit tricky. The shape matching is a bit tricky - until your auto-reflexes kick in. Fishing -- Now over 2,000 pts and cruising~ Doesnt frustrate younger players, fun to pick up and play a few rounds, but if you are super competitive - move on.

The main reason I bought this game was because it was a bargain with the Wii remote. My family and I have really enjoyed the games on the Wii Play. The pool game actually gives you the feeling that you are at a pool table. However, the most enjoyable game for us was the race game. I would recommend the Wii Play to anyone who is looking for a variety of fun games to play with the family.

We bought this because it came with the remote and its actually a pretty good game! I would recommend it to others, but purely because we only ended up paying $10 more than the remote to get the game as well. Im not sure if its worth much more than that, but I think wii knew this when they created the game as well :) Anyways, I would get this game with the remote to see the variety of things that the wii can do and to play duckhunt :)

We purchased the wii console for Christmas for our kids and since it only came with one controller, we purchsed this game because it came with the additional remote, the game was fun and the kids enjoy it, the games are not as intense as some of the other wii games but its pretty fun; the only drawback is only two players can play at a time.

I bought this product thinking it would have a lot of great games AND I would get the second remote I needed. Well it isnt bad, but also isnt great. The remote is the remote - nothing more, nothing less. Some of the games are a lot of fun, but others are just a waste. My favorite is Billiards. It centers solely around the 9 ball game, but is a lot of fun for the entire family. Maybe an 8 ball game is out there, but not in this package. Shooting and ping pong are also fun. Pose Mii is just stupid, but I guess kids might enjoy it. I do like the multi-player function. I guess for the price it is worth the $10...especially if you arent a die hard game person and would enjoy some good old fun.

So the Wii Play games may be simple, but theyre fun. And considering youre getting a Wii Remote WITH the games, this purchase is a no-brainer. Depending on the price you pay, youre basically getting the game disc for anywhere from free to $10.00. Why buy a new remote by itself when you can get one with the Wii Play games? And if you dont want the games, you can always sell the disc on eBay and will probably end up making money in the process.

The best part of this game is the free remote. If you are planning on buying another remote, go ahead and buy this game for the extra $10. However, dont buy it just for the games. The graphics are poor and the games arent that challenging. The best part of the game is that you can keep stats with your competitors as you play (wins/losses).
