Wii Sports

When I think of the Wii, I instantly think of playing this specific game back when I was a kid and still lived at an apartment complex. The complex we lived at was mostly for older folks, so in the lobby, they had a Wii attached to the tv as a way for the older folks to get some exercise. Now, I'm gonna be real here, but none of the older residents I watched play didn't actually stand up, or really do much exercise at all. They mostly just played bowling by swinging the controller beside their wheelchair or chair. I guess you could consider it exercise in the shoulder region, but that was about it that it was used for.... Except it wasn't. Me and my brother hogged the hell outta this console, playing a mixture of all the game modes on Wii Sports. Baseball I remember was so damn fun, I would get home runs nonstop. Boxing was another mode me and my brother played a lot of. I would always try and find a new technique to knock him out, truly pissing my brother off on multiple occasions. Volleyball and Table tennis were also really fun modes, but to be honest, the mode we played the most of was, in fact, bowling. It was a very fun game mode, but I think the reason we played it so often is because if there were older folks out in the lobby, they would A) want to play bowling too or b) not want to watch us play anything else except bowling. This was our dilemma, but it wasn't bad. The oldies would be asleep past 8pm so we could basically do whatever we wanted past then. Wii Sports was abused to the point where to this day, I wouldn't be surprised they still play it. It was a really enjoyable game that was a huge part of my childhood. Probably wouldn't play again, but damn was it fun while it lasted.

Wii Sports is one of the launch titles for the Nintendo Wii.

It doesn't try to be a masterpiece and a brilliant experience like Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, or Super Mario Galaxy.

It's just a game for everyone and THAT is what makes this game fun. Some people like to call this game a MASTERPIECE, I think it's too simple and basic to call a masterpiece, but I get why they say it is. I like the motion controls. My favorite sports are boxing and tennis in this game. I sometimes have problems playing baseball and tennis with the motion controls being sometimes somewhat clunky. But all and all Wii sports is a classic and a fun game. I wouldn't say that if you buy a Wii you should get it if it isn't included with the wii that you bought just because it's too expensive now for what it is. I think games like Super Mario Galaxy, Goldeneye 007, Twilight Princess, Disney's Epic Mickey, and Wii Play are better value with the 10-20 dollars range of Wii games rather than paying 35 dollars for Wii Sports. If it comes with the console, that's GREAT but if it doesn't, buy it after. I recommend this game to anyone. A 9.5/10 in it's genre and a 9/10 overall.

It's Wii Sports.. You gotta love it!! Although it does get boring after playing for a while, it's still a fun game to play with the family.

Traditionally, Nintendo has launched its new video game consoles with software titles revolving around Mario, Luigi, Zelda, Donkey Kong, or other big-name company characters. With the revolutionary Wii console, however, Nintendo instead chose to showcase the movement-based action of the system by packaging the console with Wii Sports. The game consists of five sports that players can try out:

Baseball: Quite fun, and the difficulty level goes up as you improve, making for engaging hours of gameplay.

Bowling: Much like the real sport, Wii bowling can be parts incredibly fulfilling and incredibly maddening, as one millimeter of wrist turn will register with the system and change your roll.

Tennis: Not being a big tennis fan, I play this game the least, but my brother has had hours of fun with it.

Golf: Once you learn the mechanics of the swing mechanism, this could become the most addictive part of the game for you, as (like real golf) it looks so simple until you try it!

Boxing: This one really gets you moving, as you duck, dodge, jab, and strike at your virtual opponent with the Wii controller and Wii nunchuck.

There is also a Wii Fitness Test mode that, while not at all indicative of your physical fitness level as it claims to be, does give you a good indication of how you stack up to your friends.

Overall, Wii Sports is a fun, engaging little game that will bring out the competitive juices in all gamers, whether you are a young child or senior citizen.

This game was awesome! It was so easy to play and I played it since I was just 3 years old! It deserves a 10/10 because it change the game industry, and made gaming easy even you never played anything before! It sold 102 million units.
