Wii Play with Wii Remote

We bought this game at the same time we bought our wii console because it seemed like a great deal - we needed a second remote and for a few dollars more we were getting 9 games. We also bought it before reading the reviews - that was a mistake. When we first started it up (mind you, this is the first thing we played on our brand new wii) we both thought it was kind of neat that they had a whole set of short DEMO games to help you learn how to use the remote(s). We went through those in short order (20 to 30 minutes) and took a break for lunch. We came back and were ready to play the real games only to find out that the demo games WERE the real games. I said to myself, That cant be but, in fact, it was. There is virtually no play value here and I am hard pressed to think of any reason why I might return to this set of games. This game should be advertised and sold as a Tutorial on using the WII remote that includes a second remote. If you are already familiar with using the WII remote (which you should be if you own a WII) then there is no reason to touch this package. Instead, simply buy yourself another remote.

I just got a Nintendo Wii that came with Wii Sports and needed another remote so I got this bundled product. I did some research before buying it and I found that in Japan it is actually called Introduction to Wii in Japan ([...], scroll down to the part where the interview is asking why they used the word training for Links Crossbow) so I knew exactly the quality of the game I was getting. This, I think, made it more fun because I wasnt expecting some wondrous game. I take it for what its worth and its a bunch of little games to show you how to use the remote. Thats it plain and simple. Most are pretty fun too!

The 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!

Wii Play itself is about on par with Wii Sports, but with a wider variety of gameplay. For $10 more than the Wiimote it comes with, its a great deal, and has some truely enjoyable games. At the same time, it is simple enough that everyone in a family would be able to play it. However, 3 of the games appeal almost exclusively to small children, and in my experience Laser Hockey was the only game I found extremely addicting.

Wii Play is a fun, interactive way to challenge your friends in a non-violent contest of skill. Great game for all ages. It is not meant for single-player, but mainly for 2-4 players at a time. Some of the best games are Tanks, Charge, Laser-hockey and Duck Hunt (there is no blood and only about 3 ducks, mostly targets, in Duck Hunt). This is a good deal because you get the game and the controller (a $90 value).

This is definately worth the money. Picture buying a Wiimote with a $10 game. The most of the games take about 10 seconds to get used to, and are generally better for a younger crowd. There are 9 minigames in all on it, but about half of them are useless. Find Mii and Pose Mii might as well not even exist. The cow racing game is fun for about 5 minutes, then gets old. The same thing can be said about the table tennis. The fishing game is good for working on your reflexes and is fairly entertaining. The laser hockey and shooting game is really fun. But the highlights of this game is the billiards and the tank game. Billiards is really fun, but should have had a 9-ball version as well. The tank game can keep you entertained for hours, and is the only challenging game in the whole thing. If nothing else, get it just for these four games. Its worth the ten extra dollars.

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 :)

This game was a tech demo disguised as a game, and we all knew that. Most triple-A titles dont come bundled with a controller for only $10 more than said controller, after all. But its a great time nonetheless; I cant count how many games of Billiards Ive played with my Grandfather, and Ive reached Level 100 in Tanks! Pick it up if you wanna play some simple, entertaining minigames.

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.)

Since we were going to buy another wii-mote ($40) anyway, we figured we might as well get one that came with 9 games for just another $10. It was well worth it. The games arent as fun as the Wii Sports but some are very addicting. Our favorites so far are the duck-hunt style shooting game, the cow-racing, and the fishing game. I like the tanks too but it could be improved with more bubble-bobble-like gameplay, letting you re-start at the level you died on. But overall, if youre in the market for another wii remote, youd be hard-pressed to find a better deal.
