    Much like Wii Sports was and is the bar setter for what was capable in gaming with motion control, Wii Sports Resort does the same with the Motion Plus accessory and sets that bar a little bit higher. All the games are fun, some will like a few of them more than others but in the end this isnt the game you pass up, this is a must have for any wii owner.

    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.

    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.

    Another great sports game from Nintendo, it's just like Wii Sports but more, however as a game released in 2009 you would expect it to have online multiplayer which it does not.

    This is an upgrade to Wii Sports and from what I can say, it's AWESOME!!!!!. New features such as using the Wii MotionPlus and Wuhu Island which tbh I think it's from Wii Fit as well. New sports like Wakeboarding and Table Tennis and an upgraded Bowling Alley. All of them will keep you going for hours. I never played such an amazing sports game. Wii Sports Resort deserves a 10 from me

    I think wii sports and resort are tied cause they are both SO good! Usually when you use the same gameplay and it gets stall like Wii Party and Mega Man games do but this game just didn't!

    The best game on the WII and the best sports game to ever exist. If you give this game less than 10 you haven't played it enough, go back and do 100% and then review this masterpiece

    В игре мало мини игр, но в них интересно играть. Локация одна на все мини игры (2 острова) но они "уютные".

    This game is great in every way! 12 fun activities that will get you frustrated, but it makes you want to keep coming back! I personally love dog Frisbee and Frisbee golf. The bicycling is a pain, but its still fun. This game built on everything from the original Wii Sport, but made it so much better. I love this game!

    This should become an esports tbh. And you can't argue with that at all. It's a high skilled game.

    For me its a 9,8 out of 10. It's so well done and was my childhoods favourite game. The only game I feel like is as good as this is The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild with an 9,8 ad Well. LOVE THIS GAME

    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

    This is a better version of Wii Sports, Unfortunately you always need the Wii Motion Plus but it is included so i won’t complain, The game is great, With a lot of sports and modes, You can explore “Wuhu Island” And you can do a lot of sport activities, My favorite is exploring the island with a plane, It makes me wish i was living there.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    I'm almost 60 and I like the"Cardio-vascular" workout that most of these games give me.
    The only reason I could not give it a ten was for the fact that you cannot go on-line and play it with the Grand kids.
    I'd especially recommend WII for anybody my age for fitness workouts

    This game takes Wii Sports to a whole new level!!! The new Wii MotionPlus makes things a little more interesting to.

With the new accessory to the game following your every move makes this game a nearly perfect one,and I said nearly perfect. The new swordfighting, basketball, and other games are fun but it gets a little old after a while. Basketball could use better movement and the sword fighting could use something more like a campaign than just a showdown where you just fight a whole bunch of different Miis. Plus, the game could really use an online multiplayer and leaderboards. To be able to sword fight with someone else other than the computer and post your best scores against your friends would be really nice. Don't get me wrong this game is really fun to play, and even funner with people, but it lacks the single player value that so many other games have. That is why I give this game about a 9.… Expand

    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.

    This game is like wii sports, only one-thousend times better. Once i started playing this game i never wanted to turn it off. the only bad thing is that you need 2 wii motion plus accesories to play a 2 player game, and the same for a 3 or 4 player game. though some games like golf and bowling are already on wii sports, i would recommend this game ot anyone as it is way better.

    Resort improves on the original in every way possible, from controls to sheer breadth of gameplay. Some of the games are hit-or-miss (canoeing...), but most are great (swordplay). If you have a few people who are willing to play with you, or you want to try out the motion plus, this is a great option.

    Wii Sports Resort is obviously a better and more in depth experience than Wii Sports. Swordplay is probably the game that best shows the capabilities of WiiMotionPlus and is probably the best overall game of the bunch. Archery is the second best game and also shows MotionPlus's capabilities very well. Table Tennis and Basketball are my two other favorites simply because they are very Wii Sports Resort is obviously a better and more in depth experience than Wii Sports.

You can't really say that any of the games are bad it's just that some are clearly better than others.

    It's a great game, and WMP delivers as promised. I really hope more games require the WMP and it becomes part of the future bundle (maybe even integrated into future Wiimote designs) because otherwise this is just going to be Yet Another One-Trick Nintendo Peripheral Gimmick, like the Power Glove, the robot, the super scope, the wii blaster, etc. etc. etc.

    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.

    With more than double the games and a new level of accuracy, Wii Sports Resort was worth the wait.
