    Wii Sports is a well-known sports game with five activities that challenge your strength and skill with excellent controller integration. The game shines in its multiplayer mode, where you can have fun with your friends. However, the single player mode lacks variety and excitement, as playing all the disciplines once can make you lose interest without any companions.

Positive is that the game adapts to your skill level and gives you suitable opponents. A negative aspect is the boxing mode, which is the least enjoyable of all the sports. Wii Sports is a fun and entertaining game to play with others, but it can become dull and repetitive when you play alone.… Expand

    I played Wii Sports a lot as a kid. Fun in company but boring and repetitive alone.

    This game make a revolution in 2006 by introducing for the game designers the casual people that for most part was ignored by the gaming world. The game itself is very well made with the selection of the most popular sports. The motion controls here are very responsive. If you have a family it'll be a great choice.

    Very innovative, enjoyable (especially with other players), and a good amount of content, even the most boring sport is fun to play in this game, the only problem is that it gets repetitive.

    This isn't an "hours of fun" type of game for me, but it is one of the best sports games I've played and it can be a pretty fun time with friends. It's on the same level as the Wii Play games for me.

    this is a good game, but i'd honestly say the Resort version is so much better than this, it has a LOT more limited things you can play, just 5 things to play? no good customizations, but the games are enjoyable and fun whenever you would play it occasionally.

    The only thing holding up Wii Sports is that it was included free with each purchase of a new Wii.

From Golf to Boxing to Tennis, no game feels beneath any other, although Golf is still to this day my favourite, but a problem is that while they retain the quality, the quality in question isn't all too good. The games integrate the Wii's remote in great ways, but games such as Tennis can just boggle down to two people swinging without so much as a thought. Talking about two-player, this game isn't the same without someone else to play with. Playing with someone else is almost necessary to have fun this game. While nowhere near amazing, Wii Sports is still a collection of fun, albeit unbalanced games.… Expand

    A combination of games that introduced the motion controls feature. A lot of fun to play with family and friends. A game that anyone could enjoy, even if he is a gamer or not.

    Even though it is a simple game, the concept of motion controls was original back in 2006. It was the game to accompany the console as a gift. It looked fresh and entertaining. A decent 7.

    Super solid game, and the fact that it was free made it even better. I've sunk tons of time into this game, especially the tennis game. Each game feels pretty shallow, but at its core, the only purpose of Wii Sports was to show off the new motion controls, and it does a great job of doing that.

Golf and Tennis are great, and Boxing is a great activity. Bowling is dependent on whether you like Bowling or not, and Baseball is awful, don't try it without friends. It has some catchy music, the motion controls are up to snuff, and despite some low-res graphics, it still holds up today.

    Purchase Score: Get It On Sale. It's currently $60 on Amazon for a New copy, and $30 for a Used copy, but I recommend getting it for less if it's for yourself (unless you're just getting it for multiplayer, in which case Used sounds like a good deal).

    Pros:
    + Catchy music
    + Tennis and Golf are brilliant
    + Huge multiplayer fun for years
    + Motion controls work well (most of the time)
    + Boxing is great way to relieve stress
    + Lot of fun with Training

    Cons:
    - Graphics haven't aged well
    - Not a lot of depth
    - Baseball AI is incredibly difficult
    - Baseball is RNG (Why on earth...)

    Recommended Most For:
    -- Gamers with a Wii (if you don't already own this)
    -- Fans of local multiplayer
    -- People who like motion control when it works    … Expand

    Some fun games in a package... sadly these games are fun for like.. 5 minutes.
    After that, it is boring.
    At least it came free with the Wii.
    Highlight game may be tennis, while the worst may be fighting or bowling

    ótimo jogo, ele é muito bom pra jogar com a família e amigos, porém não di nota maxima por dois motivos.
    1 - não da pra jogar online, um jogo de esporte, lançado em 2006 não da pra jogar online chega a ser absurdo.
    2 - trilha sonora fraca.
    porém de resto ele foi muito bem, ótima jogabilidade e trás muita diversão.

    Wii Sports was my very first Wii game, and I liked it a lot. But then something happened after I played it again, it wasn't that fun. Wii Sports is a game that is best enjoyed with friends and family, but when you play alone by yourself you can't help but get bored by the inferior A.I. (except for Boxing, that one is tough) and because of that you can beat any sport with enough experience.Wii Sports was my very first Wii game, and I liked it a lot.

    A good launch title that helps you understand the basics of the motion control technology.

    You can sum this game in just that sentence. It is simple and fun. But that doesn't change the fact that it's good. But I wished of a few more minigames

    P.S That does come with a far more better wii game in fact

Overall I guess Wii Sports is a good game for the pack-in title it was, but since later Wii boxes now also include Wii Sports Resort as well, I guess it probably makes it's "special-ness" go down a bit; I'm sure once I get a Wii U that I will find Nintendo Land to be a lot Superior as a pack in title, but for now, Wii Sports is an okay game, just pretty boring overall. I will give Wii Sports credit though, the game was actually good though and usually I think sports game suck mainly because of how repetitive each new entry can be in a sports game series (I'm talking about you Madden).… Expand

    Its fun and its addicting at times but after a month it gets old, since there are only five sports and only three are fun which are tennis, baseball, and golf. Boxing is okay but I didn't like baseball but overall its a good family game and does a decent job showing what the Wii can do.

    Wii Sports is a nice, decent starter for the Wii. Despite it's lack of depth, it makes a nice pack-in for the Wii console.

However, not all of the five sports are unique as you would expect. Before I go through all of the sports in this game, I should say something about the graphics. They are half simple, half realistic. Now onto the sports. Tennis is really good. Controls are well-functioned, but some of your swings may have the ball hit the net or out of the court. One dissapointment was that all you ever play is DOUBLES and ONLY doubles. No singles. That would be dissapointing, nonetheless still fun. Baseball was MEH. While the piching contols work really well, Batting controls were kinda bad. Most of my hits were fouls. Bowling was pretty fun. Controls work pretty well, however, the spin controls work properly at a precentage of 49%. Sometimes when you release the ball by swinging and twisting at the same time with your remote as you release B, your ball will either go slow and go on the side or twist slowly no matter how you twist your remote. Golf was OK. The courses looked pretty nice, but the controls When you swing your remote slowly as if you were putting, you can't hit the ball. You have to swing it a little more fast enough so the ball can land at a distance you want it to be at. And Boxing was a Hit. Controls work pretty well. Sometimes the game won't read your jabs correctly, nonetheless a great sport. The Training games work well as the 5 sports. The Wii Fitness was good as well, and puts a nice alternative to Wii Fit. Overall, Wii Sports is a Great game for you, your family and friends to play. It makes a nice starter to the Wii Console. I would recommend this especially for first-time Wii Owners.

    Wii Sports shows off the potential of the wii remote. It's a compilation of five sports, each showcasing what the wiimote has to offer. You use your miis in each of these. The first is bowling- swinging the remote as if you were playing it in real life. This is always responsive, and something anyone can dip into.

This is always responsive, and something anyone can dip into. For that reason, bowling is in my opinion the best game in Wii Sports. Next is tennis. This should be amazing but instead, it's just shaking the wiimote at the right time. It doesn't matter how you swing or shake it- the way it aims is due to your timing. Still, this is a great game, though matches are too short, even at the highest settings. There's a baseball game, which responds accurately to how you hold and swing the wiimote. In the same way, when bowling, the controls are fast and responsive. Depending on how you swing, you can put a spin on the ball. Golf and boxing is where it all goes haywire. Golf works how you'd imagine, with the wiimote being the golf club. The controls respond well when hitting the ball long distance. But when you're close to the hole, on the fairway, the wii remote's sensing can't pick up gentle hits. So you're forced to hit the ball harder, and then it zips over the hole. Golf is more frustrating than it is fun. Boxing, meanwhile, responds accurately- just a second after you do something. This lag stops it from being enjoyable. As well as these sports, there are training minigames for each of them, which adds to the fun, plus improves your skill. There is also a fitness test which is useless as it tells you nothing about your fitness. The better you become at sports, the higher your 'level' becomes. At 1000, you become 'pro level'. And that's far from easy to do. Wii Sports is the first game to get for your wii simply because it showcases what that remote can do. But bad boxing and golf bring it down.… Expand

    My favourite sports are tennis and bowling. This is a great game to learn how to use the controllers. It is really cool when you hit a home run or the ball out of the park with cool writing on the screen. Golf is good fun, boxing needs a nunchuck but is really good fun especially when I beat up my Dad (he was really bad if you want to know).

    If you want a game that everyone in your family will know how to play to waste some time at Christmas, I would 100% recommend this game. To anyone who wants a simple party game for some fun, could do better but its still fun. Anyone who wants a proper sports game, don't use this. And anyone who wants a fun one player game, try balancing a potato on your head for hour. It's just as good.

    The bottom line, really, is that Wii Sports, as a multiplayer game, is downright fun. Whether your thing is tennis, baseball, golf, bowling or boxing, you’re bound to be smiling - at least for a few seconds - while playing Wii Sports.

    For the hardcore there’s not much here that you’ll be playing for more than an hour other than the training mode which gives you a lot of challenges but ultimately falls flat.
