    There are 5 sports: Bowling, Baseball, Boxing, Tennis, and Golf. All of them are pretty fun but the sport that was the best was the bowling. It is the best game to be bundled with a game console at launch.

    Very very fun with friends. If you are alone, will get boring really fast. What do you expect the for a free game with your shiny new console.

    This and Wii Play are great tech demos for the Wii. The graphics are great for Wii. The controls are good. The sports are fun. The training mode is fun. Wii Sports is a good game to be introduced to the Wii and I bet every Wii owner has this game.

    Essential game to play with colleagues. It comes bundled with the Wii, which is a plus point, and loaded with minigames.

    This is a great game but Resort is MUCH BETTER!! Golf had a little lag here, but fixed in Resort. Bowling is my favourite. The sports are fun, baseball is fun! I got Out of the Park twice in my life playing Wii Sports. The training mode is very fun and on the last round of "100 pin bowling" there is a trick on the final round. Find it out yourself. You'll be surprised.

    Fun for hours, controls work perfectly, there are secrets to be unlocked, you can spend hours trying to break your records on training games, and anyone can play it, 10 w/o a doubt

    Enjoyed all of the games, but I do prefer more realistic graphics. Bowling is really awesome.

    It's not exactly Super Mario Galaxy, but it's still great fun and you get it free with your Wii console so I ain't complaining.

    I played this game with my cousin, and it RULES! I think it's awesome how it comes with the console, and the idea is simple. It tells you how to play even! Using your own Mii is prettyfun too. 10/10

    All of the games are spectacular. They each have their own fun minigames, and it really gives you something to work at. With practice, one can figure out a great way to excel in each sport.

    This game rocks. Idon't care how simple it is, when you play the Wii for the first time this will be the game you play. Play round a mates house, and their parents join in! Brilliant stuff. Just don't play the boxing game.

    One of the best games I've ever played that came with a console. What is really amazing about this game is the range of people that can enjoy it. My mom, who probably hasn't touched a game since tetris, has gotten really into the tennis game, and the bowling game in Wii Sports is very close to the real thing, just without the smell of the bowling shoes and the waxed floors.

    This is still one of the best game packages out there. All of the games are fun especially in to player made. You get to play several different sports which all are fun. The only problem is that there is no online play and the games have no depth to them. It's a great package and a steal considering it's free with a wii system.

    Remeber how much fun Super Mario Bros. was for the classic NES? This game included with the wii system is great! Teaches you all the basic needs controls you might need for the inovative game system. Even better it is a party game where we can all get together and play. Okay, maybe it does not deserve a perfect ten, since the graphics are horrible, but hey, This is the original Wii game!!!!!!

    The game may look simple, but yet it has a vast amount of complexity to it. While the graphics are simplistic at best the gameplay lacks none.

    The graphics were not perfect but other than that was great. This was the first Wii game i had played and i have been waiting for a motion sensing game since i was like 5 so this made me so happy i almost cried.

    My daughter and son-in-law bought this game for their children. My husband and I went out and bought one too. We love it! It is a great way to get a little exercise and to have something else to do in the evening rather than watch TV. We live in Arizona and it is too hot outside for the children to play, so this game helps keep them active.

We live in Arizona and it is too hot outside for the children to play, so this game helps keep them active. The children can call us on the phone and ask us to play a game with them...and we can actually play from different houses. We have not tried that yet, but my son-in-law is hooking up the wireless this weekend so we can. Imagine bowling with the kids in the evenings...what fun! This is another great way to enjoy the grandkids. The remote works great with the game. Even my mother-in-law can play when she comes...it is that well suited for all ages. This is the best innovation that has come out in years. I hope they continue to add games that use the wiimote like this game uses it...and that help get us all off the couch. Love it, love it, love it. Way to go...keep designing games that are similar. I love the tennis and the bowling the best...I am not very good yet at baseball...but with a little practice...I bet I can do that too. From ages 5 to 75...this is a great system. Expand

    This game is brilliant!! You can climb up the skills mountain to get to be a pro. The game includes golf boxing baseball tennis and bowling. There also is the option to do training with lots of mini tasks and you can an age chexk with 20 being the lowest so i would advise you to get this game A++

    Very simple but still great fun. The tennis game in particular is awesome and no, you don't need to swing your arms about too much!

    this game is so much fun. it sure beats going to the bowling alley. id have given it a 10 if the boxing controls were smoother, but for the most part, i got the hang of it. i'll almost pro status on boxing. baseball is also fun when its 2 players. when we play, the pitcher stands a couple feet behind the batter so the batter cant see the arm speed of the pitcher. makes for morethis game is so much fun. it sure beats going to the bowling alley. id have given it a 10 if the boxing controls were smoother, but for the most part, i got the hang of it. i'll almost pro status on boxing. baseball is also fun when its 2 players. when we play, the pitcher stands a couple feet behind the batter so the batter cant see the arm speed of the pitcher. makes for more of a batter/pitcher duel.

    Your non-gamer friends will be dazzled by the immediately intuitive controls and the imported Miis. But the title sacrifices incredible depth and visuals for an immediately accessible experience.

    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.
  3. 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.
