    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.

    Hey people, this game is a couple of quid as it comes with a wii remote. I wasn't expecting a Zelda but its definitely playful and worth getting if you buying a remote.

    This is worth a purchase and it's very cheap, being bundled with a Wii remote and a lot of fun. It's a great way to show off the Wii for what it is and what it can do and, with medals to achieve, there is come longevity for those that want to be challenged. 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 This is worth a purchase and it's very cheap, being bundled with a Wii remote and a lot of fun. It's a great way to show off the Wii for what it is and what it can do and, with medals to achieve, there is come longevity for those that want to be challenged. 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 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.

    This game came bundled with my Wii Remote and is really is addictive and competitive. I'll say it really is a great deal for such a great game to come bundled with.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    There are 9 games packed in for only $10 and very entertaining. My husband and I had a blast playing this - we are not much into video games but continue to have lots of laughs with this one!!!

    Just for the sheer fact that your getting a controller in the deal is well warranted to be a buy. Now i have 3 controllers but the game is highly addicting.

    Most of the games take a couple plays to catch on but once they do, HOLY CRAP! This game will not leave your Wii and all of your friends will want to borrow it.

    I actually really like this game! I find that I always reach for it. Maybe its the simplicity yet challenging aspect of all the games... I don't know. But some of these games are actually really addicting. The only game that I don't like is that Tank game... I still don't really know how to play that... but other than that all the other 8 games are amazing :)

    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. TheWii Play is Wii Sports' little brother and it definitely shows with the graphics, art style, and premise.

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

    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.

    Clearly worth it, if you are considering buinyg a new remote! Many of the games are surprisingly fun, and the controlling works fine. Not too much fun single-player though.

    Good fun for hours and hours, a long-lasting collection of games. It's very nice to just pop the game back in and have a few relaxing sessions, or try to get even better scores. More games like this would be great.

    I don't know why they are all so negative about this game, while it is really addictive, especially 'Tanks!'. The controls work well, but you musn't buy this game for the singleplayer, because its the multiplayer where the game's good.

    Has some fun 2-player mini-games for only a very sleight price premium over a bare wii-mote. I recommend this for anyone who wants a second remote.

    This game is not groundbreaking but it is highly addictive and fun. It's a good quick fix game that my wife and I play often. If you are going to spend $40 for an extra remote, spend the extra $10 for Wii Play.

    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.

    Now here is an excellent 2 player game.Lets be honest,you can play solo and have fun for a limited amount of time but the 2 player is the reason to own this game.My wife and I have tons of fun to this day with this game and Wii sports resort.

    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. The game is a fun game to teach your family some of the basics of the Nintendo Wii controller and its motion capabilities. Good games to calm you down after a long day of boredom.

    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]
