Review of Nintendo Wii Sports

Author: Missyrosa // Category:
The Wii console weighs in at just 2.7 pounds and measures 8.5 inches long by 6 inches wide and is less than 2 inches thick; it is one of the most compact consoles currently on the market. It also looks great with a slick glossy white finish.

Best of all about the Wii is the revolutionary controller design which offers unique motion-sensitive game play options. The Wii controller works extremely well with the highly addictive and entertaining Wii Sports game, which is a simple game about playing Tennis, Baseball, Bowling, Golf and Boxing.

Tennis can be played by one to four players, the Wii controller becomes the racquet in which there are no levels, tournaments or unlocking modes to master, and it's just simply about the game play and having fun with your friends.

Bowling in Wii Sports is also quite simple in concept and easy to master. The basic movement of the controller is just as you would expect you now swing controller through, if you were about to swing a bowling ball. You can adjust the approach - from the left, right or middle - and aim of your bowl and apply spin to the ball by twisting the remote as you follow through.

Golf like Tennis can be played with one to four players. There are different levels depending on your expertise - beginner, intermediate, expert levels. Again it is just like playing the real game where you go from hole to hole playing the fairways and greens.

Baseball is equally as simple, batting and pitching are the only required actions. Fielding is handled entirely by the computer and base running is dependent on how far the ball is hit, not how fast you can swing the Wii controller. Batting is nothing more than holding the controller like a bat and swinging.

Boxing uses the Wii technology the best, with your the two hands on two Wii controllers, one in each hand you are then in perfect sync with the on screen boxer, blocking and weaving as needed. Punching and blocking is performed as most of the actions are on the Wii Sports game - by moving the controller.

Advantages: Nintendo Wii Sports is a real triumph, very enjoyable, suitable for all ages and very affordable with hours of fun guaranteed.

Disadvantages: nothing really...
