    The sword fighting and the archery alone make this game worth the purchase. At first I wasn't sure about their implementation of the sword play, but after spending some time playing it, it now makes perfect sense. Pick up this game you won't be disappointed, the wii motion plus is a blast.

    A collection of gimmicky shallow games. Save yourself the money unless your a die hard fan, in which case you've already bought it.

    This improves on the original in every single way. It has twelve different games, each with two or three different game modes, and none seem tacked on or redundant.

    Great collection of 12 games which take the original to the next level. Most of the games and various versions to play to increase the game counts much more. Various difficulties allow both beginner and novice players to enjoy.

    Good set of mini games and since it includes the Wii Motion Plus, it is a great pick up. The games, while fun and somewhat addicting, are pretty shallow and you will max out the "upgraded" features fairly quick. My own problem is that bowling, golf, Frisbee golf and tennis can all be found on other games so you really are only getting 8 or 9 new experiences.

    But even without that crucial feature, Wii Sports Resort still feels like an accomplishment, not only because it offers a fun and accessible experience built around the MotionPlus attachment, but because it may very well renew optimism in those jaded by the lackluster motion controls seen over the last couple years.

    Just as Wii Sports was exactly what Nintendo needed to help shift units when the Wii launched so too Wii Sports Resort proves to be a perfect advert for MotionPlus as well as still being a cracking game in its own right.
  3. With more than double the games and a new level of accuracy, Wii Sports Resort was worth the wait.
