    Wii Sports Resort is much better than the previous ones. There are more activities and it is a bigger game.

    An even bigger improvement to Wii Sports, it is now a full fledged game rather than a compilation of minigames, a great title and a fun game overall.

    Surprisingly replayable game for what it is. Even now I still find it fun. Highly recommend.

    The pinnacle of the WII Sports series, and the best motion controlled sports game ever made.

    This game is so fun to play with your friends, and is infinitely replayable. The singleplayer experience is a bit lacking though, but there is definitely a decent amount of content there.

    This game is tough to rate based off of mechanics alone, because it's a collection of minigames, so I will rate each game and misc categories individually and make an average from those. [Swordplay 10] [Wakeboarding 7] [Frisbee 7] [Archery 8] [Basketball 9] [Table Tennis 9.5] [Golf 7] [Bowling 7.5] Power Cruising 7] [Canoeing 4] [Cycling 8.5] [Air Sports 8] [Controls 7] [Replayability 8.5]

    This is the sequel to the classic Wii Sports, and it’s even better! Only two and a half sports from the original game return, but there are so many new ones added bringing the total from 5 to 12! The half sport that returns is tennis but in the form of table tennis. Bowling and Golf return, while the controls for golf were vastly improved making me like it a lot more.

Bowling and Golf return, while the controls for golf were vastly improved making me like it a lot more. The controls for most sports work very well and smoothly, with the exception of canoeing which can be a little laggy sometimes. The Wii Motion Plus accessory is mandatory, but it will usually come with the game for free. The new sports include Frisbee, Swordplay, Archery, Basketball, the water sports, Cycling, skydiving and my favourite one, Island Flyover. All of them are super fun to play! This game brings in Wuhu Island as the main location, while all of the sports take place on different areas of the island. In the island flyover you can explore the entire island and learn about all of the different landmarks, you will want to find them all so you can unlock the extras for this game. There are balloons to shoot lasers at as well, which is a fun addition. The original wii sports is fun but this game is so much better and improved! Expand

    This game is a must have, it's a great game to play with someone, but it's also fun to play alone, and it's also very good for making some exercise, specially cycling, overall this is one of Nintendo's best casual games and you should play it.

    The sequel to the iconic tech demo, Wii Sports Resort expands on its predecessor in every way possible. The amount of different sports has been doubled to 12, and previous sports have been expanded on. If you have never played this game you are missing out on possibly the best Wii game there ever was!

    Why Nintendo hasn't made a table tennis game like in Wii Sports Resort that is as good as this is baffling. Easily the best game here and still plays well in 2021.

    Now this game is pretty fun. I'm a little more nostalgic for the first Wii Sports, but this one is a lot of fun and I can enjoy it a little longer than the first. It's not highly better than the first WS, but it's slightly better. It just depends on what games you like in both of these games. Just be sure to have Motion Plus in some way.

    Not every sport here hits, but most of them do (especially golf). Golf is addicting.

    This game brings back great memories, I spent countless hours just playing 3v3 basketball or exploring this island by plane, etc. There's a neat improvement from Wii Sport and even if some sports can be boring overall it was a great experience.

    They could have just made another Wii play, but there is way more content in this game than is warranted. The pilot game and the biking game are two highlights. For how dirt cheap this game is on eBay and how necessary Wii motion plus is for any Wii owner who gives a s**t, you’d be stupid not to buy this.

    This game is so much fun, and I think it is so underrated. The motion sense is fantastic and so ahead of it's time. 2020 and I'm still playing golf, basketball and trying to break records

    enjoyable game, for years across, it has minigames that can actually be replayable! it has so much charm when it comes to playing this, it feels like the wii has still got something, although i really didn't like the limited amount of minigames, the replayable part just covers all that up.

    overall, enjoyable game.

    Inoltre sono presenti molti più sport e molte più ambientazioni rispetto al titolo precedente, a cui si aggiunge la funzionalità del Wii Motion Plus per aumentare la precisione dei movimenti.

    Unico reale difetto è che, così come in Wii Sports, non sono presenti sport in cui il movimento sia libero, è quasi tutto gestito automaticamente e questo in certi casi non è molto bello.

    Peccato solo per l'assenza di qualche modalità online che avrebbe reso Wii Sports Resort forse uno dei titoli più giocati su Wii.

    Wii Sport Resort is a wonderful game no doubt but it has it's problems. Firstly I think that there are too many throw away sports. There are some slam dunks like basketball or swordplay but those are the only ones I really play. The fact that so much content is played once or twice then never again, makes the amount of content feel small.

The second issue is that the controls, even with the Wii Motion Plus still have their troubles detecting my motions. Swordplay is the one I have the most trouble with, nonetheless I still enjoy swordplay. My final problem is difficulty balancing. Basketball in particular. At a certain point, basketball becomes way out of my league of "good". Poofesure broke countless Wii remotes and his TV and sometimes I feel the same as him. Now for my final thoughts. I have fun with this game, However some glaring flaws keep this game down from a great game. Its good not great, but it is worth a buy for most. Expand

    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.
