    Very innovative gameplay and it works just perfectly. I like to get all the platinum medals in all the training games. This game also has very relaxing and good music.

    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. For that reason, bowling is in my opinion the best game in Wii Sports. NextWii Sports shows off the potential of the wii remote.

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

    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.

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

    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

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

    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.

Nie ma żadnych innych opcji – wszystko jest proste, czytelne i łatwe do opanowania.

    Przed rozpoczęciem gry pojawia się okienko    Wii Sports jest zestawem pięciu gier sportowych: tenisa ziemnego, kręgli, golfa, baseball’u oraz boksu. Po włączeniu płyty od razu pojawia się menu, z którego do wyboru mamy wspomnianych pięć dyscyplin, oraz dwa dodatkowe okienka Training i Wii Fitness. Nie ma żadnych innych opcji – wszystko jest proste, czytelne i łatwe do opanowania.

    Przed rozpoczęciem gry pojawia się okienko informujące nas, abyśmy upewnili się, czy wokół nie ma żadnych obiektów i ludzi, o których moglibyśmy zahaczyć wykonując wymachy Wii Remote. Dla pewności warto również założyć sobie na nadgarstek smyczkę, aby przypadkiem nie wyrzucić kontrolera z rąk.

    Na wstępie rozpoczynając zabawę z Wii Sports radziłbym wybrać trening, z którego możemy nauczyć się podstawowych technik, a przy okazji pobawić się w pobijanie własnych rekordów w mini gierkach treningowych.

    Wii Fitness – to codzienna dawka sportu (w minimalnej oprawie). Gra raz dziennie pozwala nam się włączyć i zagrać w zestaw trzech losowo dobranych „mini-gierek” dostępnych z treningów. Po wykonaniu zadania podliczana jest nasza wytrzymałość, prędkość i balans, co na wykresie pozwala określić wiek (skala), który jest naszym wynikiem. Czy daje to coś więcej, niż przyzwyczajenia gracza do codziennego odpalania Wii Sports? Tego nie wiem, ja dałem się w to jednak wkręcić.

    Przejdźmy jednak do meritum, tzn. dyscyplin sportowych które stanowią trzon tego produktu. Na początku każda z nich nakazuje wybór swojego Mii, którym będziemy sterowali, a później, określenie czy dany Mii-ludek jest prawo, czy leworęczny.

    W tenisie odbijamy piłeczkę robiąc wymach tak, jakbyśmy rzeczywiście trzymali w ręku rakietę. Nie musimy wciskać żadnych przycisków, cała reszta to relaksujące „machanie”, a nasz tenisista biega sam po korcie za piłeczką. Napisać należy, że zawsze gra się w deblu (z kolegą lub z konsolą), wybrać możemy jednak czy chcemy stać bliżej siatki, czy na końcu kortu. Kręgle są już bardziej złożone, bo mamy możliwość ustawienia się z lewej lub prawej strony toru, a także ustawienie lekkiego kąta rzutu kulą. Ruch jaki będziemy musieli wykonać jest identyczny jak ten, który należy wykonać w rzeczywistości. Baseball (najbardziej chyba uproszczona z dyscyplin: rzucamy, lub odbijamy piłeczkę – cała reszta to szybkie zajmowanie baz przez Mii odbywające się automatycznie). Golf, tak samo jak tenis jest równie przyjemny i relaksujący . Nasze uderzenie powinno uwzględniać kierunek i prędkość wiatru, wysokość położenia dołka względem naszej pozycji, kąt nachylenia nawierzchni, siłę uderzenia i miejsce z którego wybijamy piłeczkę (np. piasek lub wysoka trawa). Ostatnia z dyscyplin, boks jest jedyną, która wykorzystuje Nunchuk, i zarazem jedyną, która naprawdę pozwala się zmęczyć. Nasze ruchy to uniki, bloki i uderzenia wykonywane przez odpowiednie wymachy rękoma.

    Wszystkie pięć gier w tym zestawie mierzy nasze umiejętności i w zależności czy wygrywamy lub przegrywamy i w jakim stylu – nalicza nam punkty i pokazuje je na wykresie.

    Gry chyba nie można przejść, można tylko starać się uzyskać jak najwięcej punktów w każdej z dyscyplin, a po dłuższym rozpracowaniu i dojściu do maximum swoich umiejętności chyba nic więcej nie da się już zrobić. Gra nadaje się świetnie do multi i do odpalania płytki z Wii Sports w wolnej chwili.

    Jeśli chodzi o oprawę audio-video, to jest ona schludna. Obraz w menu jest przejrzysty, a podczas minigierek ogranicza się do niezbędnego minimum. Dźwięk wygląda podobnie, w menu słyszymy lekko wpadający w ucho podkład, a podczas samej rozgrywki tylko to – co powinniśmy (żadnej muzyki). W golfie np. szum fal, świst wiatru, szelest trawy i ładnie oddane dźwięki uderzeń w piłeczkę. Wii Remote z wbudowanego głośniczka również wydaje dźwięki, co pozwala „zbliżyć się do gry”, np. w tenisie moment zamachnięcia się rakietą.

    Podsumowując, należy powiedzieć iż jest to gra przejściowa między jakimiś konkretnymi tytułami. Razem z konsolą Wii na samym początku może zapewnić wiele frajdy wszystkim, którzy mają z nią styczność. Każdy gracz / „niegracz” jest w stanie powymachiwać Wii Remote, czerpiąc satysfakcję z prostoty (ale nie prostactwa) jakie oferuje nam Wii Sports i nowe sterowanie tej konsoli. Recenzowany tytuł jest świetnym dodatkiem do Nintendo Wii i choć nie zapewni długiego grania (no chyba, że ktoś będzie się bawił w Wii Fitness), to z całą pewnością na starcie ukazuje zalety sterowania tejże konsoli i sprawia radochę każdemu, bez względu na wiek, płeć i zamiłowanie do gier.

    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.

    Wii sports is just really fun. It's not really the most realistic or accurate sports game but that's what makes it awesome. Baseball is exciting, Bowling is relaxing, Tennis is fast paced, Boxing is exhilarating, and Golfing is pretty good. I've had the pleasure of playing this recently and bowling is honestly just addicting.

    I guess this wouldn't have been the classic it is today if it were not firstly offered with the Wii console. 'Wii Sports' directly showed that this console was a family console. With these family-frendly graphics, controls and handling it had everything needed to get in everyone's hands. I guess that point is a marvelous success.

    The sports proposed are varied. It would have been even better if you didn't have to do the same moves over and over again to progress in the game. Plus at the beginning (before the apparition of the blessed Wii Motion Plus) the moves were not that accurate. Tennis is the mini-game you can play while sitting down and just swing your Wii-mote at the right moment. Golf requires a bit more control but that's all. Music, even if funky and joyful quickly becomes repetitive and uninspiring. It eventually goes the same way for gameplay.

    Let's be honest 'Wii Sports' was just a demo and we all played it for a way too long time before major games like Smash Bros and Twilight Princess came to our homes to revolutionize the Wii catalog.    … Expand

    This game is the definitive Wii game. This is the only thing that the Wii needed for me to say "SHUt up and Take MY monEY". But in all fairness, this is a tech demo, and has 5 main games to play, but each game has so much in it, that I am still playing it after 7 years of owning my Wii. Even though I didn't give this a 10/10, this may be my favorite game of all time.

    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.

    Wii Sports - 8/10 {recommend}

    It worked perfectly with the Wii controllers, and had smooth and fun gameplay in every game, being very striking, and making you spend hours on end with friends and family playing. It's just not perfect because has few sports options, and ends up becoming a much simpler version of the Wii Sports Resort.

The controls of this game worked really well for the most part, with a few minor exceptions like golf and sometimes boxing. This was where the concept of motion controls originated, and people bash them too much for no good reason. There’s also the training mode with a bunch of fun little minigames, a few for each sport.

    Wii sports was a big part of my childhood and I remember creating a ton of Miis when I was like 9 while playing both Wii Sports and Wii Sports resort simultaneously. I feel like Wii Sports Resort is superior to the original just because it has more variety of sports, but Wii Sports is still an enjoyable game and could impress your kid too.

    Revolutionary for its time but nothing special anymore today.

In its core, it just a collection of generic sport games that you play with the Wii remote controller. It worked perfectly however, and playing tennis or bowling felt responsive and fun.

    Wii Sports was the launch title of the Wii and, just like other launch titles for new consoles, it was revolutionary and mind blowing.

    In its core, it just a collection of generic sport games that you play with the Wii remote controller. It worked perfectly however, and playing tennis or bowling felt responsive and fun. It just was a unique experience.

    You can play golf, boxing, baseball, tennis and bowling. Each game requires you to wiggle your Wii mote at a certain speed to increase velocity of your throw or hit and in the boxing matches, you wiggle the Wii mote left and right to make sideway punches.

    The boxing game was my favorite and I still respect how well it works. You character is see-through, making it easy to see and focus on your opponent. The health meters are a little vague and ghost all of the time in your screen, but it works fine overall.

    The graphics are ugly. Even back then, when the Wii was the newest console, the limitations on the console and the “unique” art style of the Nintendo games other than Mario, were immediately visible. The art style itself is cartoonish and jolly, but even then, the facial expressions, the outlines and animations are stiff and look like a tech demo from 2002. The Wii taught me that graphics aren’t anything, but it also taught me that you can drop graphical quality just because your company is called Nintendo, and everyone is fine with it. This reputation was fixed however, with the Nintendo Switch.

    You make a special character called a Mii, which represents yourself throughout all the sports games and can also be used in other Wii games. There are limited customization options and nine times out of ten, the Mii does not look anything like you. This is mainly because of the God awful graphics that the game (and the Wii in general) offers and the facial expressions that are dug up from the pits of Hel and stare directly into your soul.

    One downside of Wii Sports became quickly noticeable back then and to this day. The mechanics are easily exploitable, making the games ridiculously easy and pointless really quick.

    For example, when playing tennis, bounce the ball a few times and let it be tossed back to the right side of the field, just over the net. When giving a good wank on the Wii mote, you instantly fire a unstoppable bullet to the left side of the playing field, scoring every time. The same goes for bowling; a slight tap to the right of the lane and a slight turn to the left, and then throw the ball at full speed, guaranteeing a strike every time. With boxing, just hit left and right and your opponent (or at least a CPU opponent) does not stand a chance.

    The games themselves become repetitive as well. There is no variation in terms of different stages, different modes for a certain sports game or anything. Although still fine, after a few hours you are kind of done with it.

    Like mentioned, Wii Sports is an ancient relic today, but I still cherish the memory of back then, when I first played it. It is one of those games that you can play anytime on a party or with friends with a couple of beers and never bores.

    Definitely recommend this blast from the past.    … Expand
