Wii Play with Wii Remote

I bought this during holidays season and the reason was to buy the controller. It was not possible to get it otherwise. So this is the whole idea for the bundle. As for the game itself - a collection of nine mini-games and there is nothing to write home about. My son switched back to Wii Sports after fifteen minutes of playing. We have never inserted the disk to the console since then.

We 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!

We bought it because of the controller, so we cannot say anything yet about the games. We live out of the U.S., and it is cheaper like this no matter how you put it. The games included, if they are wonderful or not so wonderful, will be just fine, since we consider it a bonus! The controller is performing greatly.

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.

All the games are fun, but we mostly bowl when a few friends come over. I find myself making exactly the same mistakes and corrections as when I actually bowled many years ago; you can really get into it! Friends and relatives are mostly in their 50s and 60s, and are usually reluctant to play a video game, but once they try it they are hooked! Before they even start, we have each newcomer build their own Mii, which is always good for a few laughs. Bottom line: Its just like real bowling, except the beer is cheaper and you get to wear your own shoes.

Our household consists of 2 30-somethings, a 13 yr old, and a 10 yr old. I bought it for Christmas with our Wii so we would have 2 controllers to pass back and forth. The extra $10 is worth it in my book. Us (the adults) went through all the games first - we enjoyed the target shooting game and the ping pong game - the others were either lame or too hard (we couldnt get the pool cue to do what we wanted). Then the kids played it - they are extremely good at the pool game!! So they are definately getting my $10 moneys worth out of it.

If you need another remote, you may as well just pay a few extra bucks for this bundle. The games are OK, there are a few worth playing even after you have mastered them. You can always trade the game in at GameStop or some other place for more credit than the game costs, so we bought 3 to get up to 4 controllers, got $7 each for 2 of the games (+ a $10 bonus) and ended up with 3 controllers, the Wii Play game and a game we really liked. Hard to go wrong when it costs just a few dollars more than the remote itself. Sometimes you can even get it with free super saver shipping, which I dont see offered much for the remote 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.

For those who have recently purchased a Wii, this is a good way to get a second remote---and the games are just a bonus. These are also the kind of games that an amateur gamer or guest can easily pick up, so its a nice option to have around for playdates or family gatherings where not everyone is Wii-proficient. NOTE: from the box, it appears you are getting the remote alone, but it does come with the clear rubber jacket as well.
