    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Certainly not perfect but that doesn't mean that it's awful by any means. It's still fun but it feels like more of a tech demo than anything else. It doesn't feel like something I would buy for full price.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This game is a great tech demo for the Wii along with Wii Sports. It was one of my first games for Wii. The graphics are great. The games are pretty fun. My favourite one was Tanks. The controls are satisfying. Wii Play is a fun game and it is worth $10 with a Wii Remote.

    An okay game at best. Only a few of the minigames are truly worth playing and it barely shows off the Wii's capabilities unlike Wii Sports. This honestly isn't worth a full review. I can barely remember anything about the game. Not worth your time. Not worth a cent.

    This game was actually kind of fun. I got my copy for $2.99 from gamestop and it was nearly new,no scratches, and it even came with 20 club points free. I played this game for hours.

    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]
