Don't worry about moving around the court to get to the ball – the game automatically moves players into position. Baseball (1-2 players): Grip the controller like a bat and swat fastballs out of the park in a home run derby. Timing and bat speed will make all the difference between going yard and whiffing, so keep an eye on the ball and swing for the fences. In the two-player game, one player pitches and the other bats. Golf (1 player): Step up to the tee, hold the controller like a golf club and swing naturally to smack the ball onto the green. The harder players swing the club, the farther the ball will fly, so be sure to take some practice swings before going for the pin. After reaching the green, line up putts carefully, practice the stroke and try to hole out. [Nintendo]… Expand

    The ideal way to get into Wii gaming. It's funny, simple and approachable, and gamers and non-gamers alike should get something out of it. [Christmas 2006, p.62]

    Sure, it lacks goals and can be beaten very quickly. But the ultra-responsive technology and high multiplayer replay value are far greater than any other party or sports game collection.

    Wii Sports certainly won't be hailed as the most realistic sports sim on the market, but it's the best thing - next to a bottle of tequila - to take to a friend's holiday house party.

    Despite these two solo modes, Wii Sports is really all about getting some friends together and playing a few matches of tennis or bowling. The game isn't designed to be a true authentic sports simulation, it's all about the sheer entertainment value, and this is where Wii Sports really shines.

    This is one you can feel confident about showing your family and friends who are normally saying things like "pish-tosh" when you bring up video games.

    Perfect? No. Indispensable? Yes. Wii Sports more than earns its bundled place as an essential component of the hardware. [Christmas 2006, p.76]

    It's free, so you're getting what you pay for. Yes, it can be fun, but it should have been a lot better.

This is the cheapest price you can pay for anything, "Free." Next is the gameplay. This game is very fun for anyone, whether they are old or young, tall or short, or a video game player or not. This game also shows all the unique movements and abilities of the Wii Remote. You see how the game swings with golf, baseball, and tennis. You get to see how you can tilt the control and make the bowling ball curve in the game. You also get to test out the nunjucks in the boxing. The fitness test had me playing this game at least once a day so that I can get a fitness score for the day. This game is fun and never gets old.… Expand

This game does a great job of making use of the Wii's wiimote functionality while not making the motion controls feel like a burden to veteran video game players who were used to those old controllers. It also does a good job of incorporating the Mii characters as they are one of the Wii's debut series. This is totally a game you should buy.… Expand

Both its graphics and especially its gameplay are completely outdated. Not to mention that you can only play a doubles match (not a singles match) in tennis. The mechanics of the tennis shots are deceptive, the graphcis quite simple and, honestly, awful, and the game is simply boring for today's standards. There are much better options to play tennis with a "live gameplay" that requires moving the hands, such as Mario Tennis Aces (2018) for the Ninendo Switch, which has both better graphcis and better gamemplay. Even Grand Slam Tennis (2009) for the Nintendo Wii is better than this.… Expand
