Wii Sports Review

Wii Sports
Publisher: Nintendo Developer: Nintendo Platform: Nintendo Wii Players: 1-2 (Sports), 1 (Training, Wii Fitness) Release: 2006 Genre: Sports Rating: 7.3 / 10.0: Good


Wii Sports, the first ever game for the Nintendo Wii is entertaining— there’s no doubt about it. In fact, it's the best-selling video game of all time! There are five sports to choose from— baseball, tennis, bowling, golf, and boxing. I enjoy a match of tennis against computer-controlled players— but even more I enjoy changing my opponents to duplicates of me, so I can control them as well. I also like boxing, because I’m pretty good at it. Bowling gets repetitive after awhile, but it's a lot of fun for a couple rounds. Golf is also enjoyable thanks to the varying levels on difficulty and various obstacles in each course, to bore me, the short Training activities, which are based on the normal sports, are addictive. Bseball, however, can be frustrating to play due to the inability to control the defense. As you'd expect from a previous-gen console launch title, the visuals aren't terribly impressive.  Wii Sports is still an exceptional game, but it could use a few improvements.

Ups
Some sports are fun
Fun Training Mode

Downs
Some sports are boring
Somewhat unimpressive visuals
