    Fun, i guess, but i'd rather play excite truck if I'm by myself, and wii sports or warioware if I"m with my friens. It comes out to ten bucks though, so, whatever.

The only game I didn't enjoy too much was the bubble one but in multiplayer me and my wife played a ton of billiards and the lookelikey game (she liked the Miis we had created being part of the game). As a serious gamer it is a wonderful feeling to get non-gamers (especially partners who tend criticise the hobby) to play with you and have a good time. For this to be so universally panned is cynical and is missing the point. Buy it, it's worth it.… Expand

    This mat just be a mediocre selection of mini games, the real reason to buy this is the fact that you get a controller with it, so it's a pretty good deal if you need another controller, but if not you can pass on this.

    It's no Wii sports, but for $10 (minus the cost of the controller), it's worth it. They're little silly minigames, but they have some replay value. They're great pick-up and play games that anyone can enjoy. Grab it if you need another remote.

    Wow. I wrote this game off because of all the bad reviews, but damn this is so freaking fun. For one player, it won't last long - maybe tanks would have some replay value. But for two player this is INCREDIBLY addictive. The Find Mii game especially, is ridiculously fun with two or more people. Definitely recommended as a buy considering the wii-mote pack-in.

    Our family is not looking for the ultimate gaming experience but a quick diversion between activities. These games are fun, quick, easy to learn, and worth $10. We like finding our Miis in different areas of the game, too.

    The game does what it sets out to do - walks you through learning the remote's capabilities while giving some enjoyment along the way. And in areas where Remotes are scarce, paying an extra $10 for three or four arcade-style games is worth it.

    I have played a LOT of free internet mini games in my life, and some of those are quite enjoyable. I guess I expected Wii Play to have polished, finished mini-games that I could use to kill 5-10 minutes with a friend.

Of the 9 minigames in Wii play, I would say only table tennis and the cow game are even close to as enjoyable as the millions of free flash games you can play for free on the internet. The game feels completely unpolished, unfinished and incomplete. For example, in the Pool game you must keep the Wiimote pointed at the screen while you try to move the wiimote back and forward to move the cue. 9 times out of 10 it fails to do what you expect because the "Please Point Your Wiimote at the screen" message comes up. The fishing game is frustrating because every time the other person catches a small fry, the view tilts up and you lose the big fish you almost hooked. There are dozens of things that are not quite right in every game. It feels like the developers said "Wii need 6 months to do this thing right" and Nintendo said "You have until tomorrow". Basically, if I had paid $40 for this game instead of $50, I would still feel I wasted the couple hours I played this worthless title. Want to play a mini game with your Wiimote: Goggle Strong Bad Wii and you will get 4 free games that are all better than any of the Wii Play games.… Expand

    Not even worth the ten dollars it ends up costing. The cames are about as uninspired as anything I have ever seen. Playing this game is not even fun when it's played out of sheer desperation of nothing else to do... I would rather sit doing nothing than play this.

    Decent games. Tanks is possibly the funniest to play with friends. For $50 it's good to get it with the Wiimote. Even my mom got into Wii-fishing. Short-lasting appeal but durable until Mario party comes out.

    A great collection of 9 mini-games, definitely worth the extra $10 with the wii-remote. Albeit, the fishing is a little clunky, the games provide a lot of entertainment when wii play is played in the same way as wii sports (say, an hour max a day); and more fun with friends.

    A poor example of a game. It's not really got any replayability, except maybe in multiplayer tanks or shooting. Most of the games are completely pointless (Cow racing, fishing, bubbles to name a few). The only noteworthy few are pool, tanks and shooting. Don't buy unless you have tried. Just borrow it off a friend for a weekend; its long enoughto get bored.

The manic bubble game and shooting range are brilliant for quick on the draw types and make you realize how wonderful the Wiimote is. The coolest game, however, is the tanks game, which lets you plug in your nunchuk and blast enemy tanks away in a series of increasingly difficult levels. The whole game is accompanied by a lively soundtrack and funny little noises, and is a perennial joy to play with a friend.… Expand

    Except some stupid games (fishing, posing), the games really worth playing (my favourite: tank). if you calculate 2$ per every good game (they really worth it) you come to a price of more than 10$, which it actually costs. So it is a good deal for every wii-owner.

    The reason I take off points is because this isn't really a game. It is more like training for use of the wii-mote and it serves its purpose well. At first I was very shaky with the pointer but after a few round of Wii play shooting everything feels smooth. A must buy for Wii owners seeing as it comes as little more than a few dollars with the wiimote.

    If you whizz through all the games, it's barely worth the premium over just getting a second remote. But with a little perseverance and open-mindedness, all apart from Pose Mii are surprisingly compelling. Find Mii looks the most childish but turns out to be tough and addictive, the best of the lot.

    Honestly, this game is basically just like wii sports with the same flaws but worse. There is less wrist action and more boring mini games. The games are even shorter than the ones on wii sports and they don't progressively get harder either. Th multiplayer is now limited to two people which is even worse.

    Quite fun. Lots of fun little mini games that can provide a couple of hours fun. It's pretty cheap, too, being bundled together with a Nintendo Wii Remote.

    This game consists of 9 mini games. They are pretty simple but so addicting and fun. I play them a lot because they are so simple but addicting and fun. There is not much more to say. This game is ridiculously simple. 9 mini games. Fun. Addicting. Try them.

    Wii Play is bland and doesn't use motion controls and wiis to well. But those are MY opinions. The game is still fine but people praise it for being fun yes it IS fun but it is repetitive.

    It's a party game, so it's not going to be my favorite type of game anyway, but this is a pretty good one. I'm probably somewhat nostalgic for this game, but it's still a good choice for Wii owners.

    Play it for the Tank game and the Duck Hunt ripoff. Maybe the table tennis? Everything else is pretty boring. If it's cheap, it's worth trying out with a friend.

    The games are good quality, but there is only nine minigames that have the exact gameplay again and again.Since this is from Nintendo, the game is smooth and polished, though it will only last 20 minutes to unlock all games and only an hour of you attached to the games.Overall the game is decent, though not a must have, no matter how good your 6-year-old thinks it is.

    Wii Play was a $49.99 game that came with a Wii Remote for $39.99 & a tech demo game for $9.99, it introduced players to what motion controls can the Wii Remote do.

    Good mini games with nice visuals, it’s not awesome, but it is fun, and that is all it needs to be.

    A great collection of games. you can't play them for a long time but it's everything the title says: WII play. It means it's more fun to play with a friend.

    It is bundled with a Wii remote so the purchase is definitely worth it, it's 30 dollars! That being said I really wouldn't recommend playing this without friends as it's just Wii Sports homo brother that is in the drug business. Compared to Wii Sports baseball, tennis and bowling, Wii Plays best modes are probably air hockey and the tank game.

    It's an ok game..I guess. Some of the games are good like Charge! and Tanks!, where other games just make me wanna rip my eyes out like Pose Mii, Table Tennis, and especially Find Mii. Overall, it's an ok game.

    Wii Play is so underrated. I could play this for weeks and still want to continue. I personally find the Find Me and Air Hockey games so much fun. I don't really care that much for the fishing game. People trash this game way too much. While not as influential of a game as its others in the series, this game still brings loads of fun to the table.

    Wii Play is Wii Sports' little brother and it definitely shows with the graphics, art style, and premise. With that said, it hold the same reputation in my opinion. All of the 9 mini-games are enjoyable. Just like Wii Sports, Wii Play is aiming towards the casual market which did well for a while.

In order to play the mini-games the player must unlock them by playing the previous one. The first mini-game is shooting range. In shooting range you must shoot the various objects that get thrown at you. The next mini-game is Find Mii which is trying to find the specific Miis it tell you to. Next is table tennis which is trying to hit the ball back 100 times. The 4th mini-game is Pose Mii which you are trying to fit your character in different shaped bubbles. As you can probably tell, there isn't much to these games but that's their strong suit. The 5th mini-game is Laser Hockey in which you move the bars to get as many goals as possible, I find it **** 6th is Billiards which is the same as real life billiards. 7th is fishing which you try to catch fish, some fish are worth more than but there are also fish that take points. Second to last is Charge! which is my favourite and you control a cow and run over scarecrows. Last but not least which is Tanks and as a tank, you shoot other tanks and there are different colours which do different things.… Expand

    Wii Play is a mediocre collection of 9 games, Ranging from the Simple but (somewhat) fun Find Mii, laser Hockey and Shooting Range. To the forgettable Table Tennis and the sluggish-feeling Charge!. Or the hard (and annoying) to control Fishing and Tanks!. As well as Billiards and the strangest game, Pose Mii. This package is fine, but not as good as a 6/10 game.

    Great, Amzing, Outstanding. This game is absolutely incredible. No game is as amazing as this one. Wii Play has to be the greatest game of all time.

    Tanks, fishing, and shooting range are really enjoyable in this game. Just a neat minigame collection.

    Its fun if your 6 or so but there is not much replay value once you play the games once you will never want to play them again

    This game isn't great but it's a fun collection of mini games, some better than others, It's not the best mii game but it's fun for a while when you got nothing to do.

    The game isn't that bad. It is an classic Wii game with some cool games on it. The ping-pone one was my favorite. I understand that the games are so simple and for people is boring, but for me, some of the mini games are fun. Is not the best game or the worst game in my opinion, Is just an "alright" game in my real opinion. If you want the better version of this game, just go play Wii PlayThe game isn't that bad.

    even as a kid i wouldn't play this game because i had better games like super mario galaxy or wii sports resort. for the price though, it's a 6.

    All the games are fine enough, but none except Tanks are anything memorable. You can finish all the other mini-games within 30 minutes to an hour, but Tanks on its own boosts this title from a 5 to a 6. Fantastic mode, super fun, and endlessly re-playable. I only wish the rest of the package was like that.

    By ordinary standards there's simply nothing here - bar Billiards - that offers anything worthy of more than a few minutes play. As an introduction to the Wii and its unique control scheme it just about works, but beyond that there's very little here to get excited about.

    Not really a game as such, but a capable if uninspired introduction to the wonders of Wii. [Christmas 2006, p.85]

    All nine games are suprisingly addictive, and if you're planning on buying another Remote you really should go for this. [Christmas 2006, p.76]
