> 3 dayI received the Wii Play with Wii remote today. Following are the contents of the package: 1)Wii remote with Jacket 2)Wii Play game disk. 3)Instruction manual for Both Wii remote and Wii Play Games. I was able to play for only 5-10 minutes then we had to leave for shopping. So far so good, might update more later. Now regarding excellent customer service from amazon.com, I had checked with Amazon.com whether the unit comes with Remote Jacket and they told me it does not. So I kept my order with Amazon merchant for Remote jacket as it is. When I got the unit the Jacket was in there so I called amazon and they readily refunded the order total for my jacket only order. Its awesome. Amazon always make sure that the customer end the call with a happy face. Thanks Amazon !!

> 3 dayIm 30 and my husband just bought me a Wii for Christmas (we always exchange super early...we cant wait). Now, we only have 5 games so far, but this is my current favorite! I love most of these games. I enjoy playing them by myself, and also against someone else. I feel kind of lame loving this game, but I do enjoy playing it. Of all 9 games, I enjoy and play most of them regularly. Im not a huge fan of 8 ball or the air hockey type game, but I love the shooting game and the find the matches game.

> 3 dayThe Wii Play games are pretty fun and, for us, its worth the cost to have the billiards, ping pong, and ice hockey (they call it laser hockey). Wii Play on its own is probably not worth more than about $15-$20, but we bought because we also got the free remote. What I didnt realize--having gotten a Wii and another remote that had a rechargeable battery for the holidays--is that all remotes are not rechargeable. It seems one has to buy a separate battery pack, which costs another $10. Nintendo seems to have mastered the art of make them buy more.

> 3 dayI really only needed an extra remote so I bought the wii play bundle. I must admit i was disappointed with the games. At first i went through them unlocking them all as i went. I thought it was some kind of training mode than i realized that WAS the game. If your looking for a bundle to get the extra remote i would suggest wii resort. I gave it 3 stars because my son likes it and it was basically only 10 bucks.

> 3 dayA nice set of arcade games, and I bought this to get a 2nd wii remote! There are a couple 2 player games. My 4yr old is able to play everything on here w/out a problem except billiards. He esp loves the cow racing game and fishing. My 10 yr old has no problem at all. Great for adults as well if you like the short arcade games. I think there are 9 of them. They all use the standard wii remote.

Greater than one weekWe got the Wii Play for our 6 yr. old sons birthday. We also wanted a 2nd remote so this worked well. The kids have fun with all the games. For an adult, they arent as exciting as other Wii games but still fun. My favorites are the cow racing, the shooting range, laser hockey and fishing. Our least favorites are finding Mii and pose Mii. I like that these dont take as much time. Theyre great when you have just a little time to play and you dont want anything too intense. Overall a lot of fun!

> 3 dayWhile I certainly would not have shelled out $50 for wii play without the remote, for the $10 above the cost of a wiimote, this game is a great novelty and really demonstrates the innovative nature of the wii and gets me excited for for the future. This arrived today at work from Amazon - and I played it on my 1 hour lunch break at home - which was ample time to try each game and go round too on the shooting. I do think overall it is fun and stands on its own. The key to the game is to have enough miis made. Finding my sister, wife, and mom in find mii was pretty funny. Watching them dance around the title screen is pretty amusing as well. Here are my quick thoughts on each game: 1. Shooting - Short - but lots of fun. Definitely repeatable. 2. Find Mii - actually pretty clever - you start finding people yielding a flashlight in a dark room after a few rounds. Definitely better if you have created some miis. 3. Ping Pong - not much fun in my opinion - a little overly simplistic 4. Air Hockey - Actually kind of fun - strong nostalgia factor a la atari pong 5. Bubble Burst - I does hurt your wrist a bit, but very different from any game I have ever played - looking forward to 2 player here 6. Billiards - Probably the most challenging - I think it will have a longer lifespan than the others 7. Cow Riding - By far the zaniest, the controls are really unique and engaging 8. Tank - Lots of Atari Nostalgia. Could definitely see myself playing this one more 9. Fishing - pretty lame - If you have Zelda: Twilight princess - you will see what fishing on the Wii should really be like!

> 3 dayFriends said that wed want more Wii remotes -- and by buying this game, wed get some decent games along with the free remote that comes in the package. Overall, its a great deal -- and adds to your collection of Wii games. (The Wii comes with Wii sports; and this package gives you Wii play). Good deal overall! The Wii Play games arent quite as fun as the classics on Wii Sports -- but younger children DO love Wii play.

Greater than one weekIll be honest. I already had a second controller. I only really bought this for the shooting game, which is pretty much a 3 minute revision of the original Duck Hunt. After playing all the games, the shooting one is still my favorite. The last level is the best. I also loved the Tank game. If you ever played Combat on the Atari, youll appreciate this one too. The other games are kind of weak. The Pool game is nothing more than a 3D version of Yahoo! Pool. The cow race is hilarious, but I imagine its going to get old quick. Table tennis is nothing special... its like Pong on steroids. Theres a air hockey game called Laser Hockey or something. The Mii Match and Pose are okay for starters, but if youre not new to the system, youll find it very annoying. Fishing was also really dumb... even for beginners. The tank and duck huntesqe games make it worth while with the controller though. If youre buying the system for a parent or someone who hasnt played since the glory days of Nintendo, this is a great game to give with it.

> 3 dayThe WiiPlay w/remote is a good buy for the money....you basically get the WiMote free! I know other folks didnt like having to play all the games at first, before you can just play what you want. However, it isnt that big a deal, and it gives you a chance to learn what there is to play with, then do what you want! The billiards is a bit difficult to play, till you get the hang of it. Enjoy!
