Wii Play with Wii Remote

If you need to buy an extra remote, this is a good deal. Id recommend it for those who are new to the Wii. The games included are really good for learning how to use the remote and getting your hand-eye-pointer coordination down for the real games. Overall the games included are pretty simple and have no replay value other than trying to beat someone else score. In most cases I could see people playing through the 9 games a few times till they get bored of them, then putting the disk away for good.

I bought this because it was the same price as just purchasing a Wiimote. I figured we were bound to get one good game out of it. I was right! For the most part, these games are quite good. There are 8 games, including: a variation on Duck Hunt (from the original NES system), Pool, Table Tennis (which was somewhat difficult to get used to and not very impressive), a tank/shooting game (not too impressed by this one either), a cow racing game (hilarious!), two different matching/dexterity games, and a fishing game (which we have yet to figure out). All of the games allow you to use the full functionality of the Wiimote (and sometimes the nunchuk). Its totally worth it. Even if you only end up liking one of the games, its the same price as just getting the controller. Go for it!

Bought this just for one reason - Wii Remote. Remote alone costs 39.99 and this item is 44.99 in amazon. So, $5 for the game (Wii play CD). The game is not good. May be for kids. For adults, it dont make no sense to buy. I would have rather bought Wii Remote + Motionplus bundle for the same price because Wii play (the CD that comes in this bundle) is sitting in the shelf from day 2 since I bought! So, people who need a Wii remote, please do yourself a favor and buy the Black Wii remote with Motion plus bundle (Motion plus sells $18 by itself) instead of buying Wii remote with Wii play bundle. Both these bundles cost the same in amazon. With Motionplus, u can play tennis, golf and other games with more realism and more fun...

We got this game really for the extra remote (since the game is only $10 more than just buying the remote). We have 5 & 6 year old girls who can easily manipulate through 5 of the 9 games. Their favorites are the cow race and find the miis. Its a great entry level game set if you are trying to learn coordination with the wii.

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.

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!

BEST game to start off with. First you get the 2nd controller that really is necessary for more then 2 people. THEN you get this fantastic collection of games that teach you how to use your remotes in different ways. Master this and you are ready for the any of the other games, and they come to you easier in the controlling aspect because of this. Bought another copy for a friend that jsut got a Wii too. Would buy another one for next friend that gets Wii as well.

great remotes.

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.

While 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!
