Product Description:


Amazon.co.uk Review - Wii Sports:
In a nutshell:
As if the idea of five games in one package didn't sound a good enough deal on its own the Wii's best multiplayer compendium comes free with the console.

The lowdown:
Clearly realising that they need to provide some quick and obvious reasons why the Wii Remote is such a good idea Nintendo have packed in this compilation with the console, which includes simple versions of tennis, golf, baseball, bowling and boxing. The four player tennis game is the obvious stand out as you swing the Remote exactly as you would a real tennis racket, with the game seeming to almost magically interpret your movements into the game. All the other games work in a similar way, as you hold the Remote like a golf club or ready it like a baseball bat - you can even use it to gently roll bowling bowls and add some subtle aftertouch. The graphics make be purposefully basic but these are the games to instantly prove why the Wii is going to be such a revolution.

Most exciting moment:
While even Wii Tennis can be played with very minor movements of the Wii Remote the boxing game actively encourages you to act things out properly. You hold up both the Remote and the nunchuck to simulate your two hands and then duck and weave as you switch between trying to pummel your opponent and dodging or blocking their own attacks.

Since you ask:
You can use your own customised Mii Channel character in any of the games for that personal touch. The idea was originally just a joke featuring caricatures of Nintendo's top brass for a press conference, but it proved so popular that Nintendo ensured anyone could make their own character to play with.

The bottom line:
Five of the best games on the Wii and they all come free with the console!-HARRISON DENT

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - GREAT FOR THE CASUAL GAMER
I absolutley love The Wii, for a casual gamer like myself, the Wii is perfect. I won't bother typing a long review as there are some on here which explain the console's details better, what I will say is that there is a growing catalogue of great games, plus you can play most Gamecube games on here as well.

All in all, a fantastic console :)



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Baaaaaad
I have owned a 360 for about a year and after getting this console free from a raffle i can saw one thing:

This is bad.

Had fun on the first night i had it. The day after i turned it on for 15 minutes... but after realising all i could do was hit a slow moving tennis ball against an AI opponent, i soon turned it off and went for COD4 on the xbox 360.

Decided to go for "Wii Play" mainly to get the extra controller. Fun to start with, thought things weren't so ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Grest fun with friends. Not so good for a solo gamer.
The Wii is a fantastic system and is great fun.........with a group of people.

When family and friends come round it comes into it's own and we spend most of the night playing tennis, bowling and Golf etc.

So on this basis it gets 5 stars as it is so much fun.

From a console point of view it is not the best system for a gamer. The types of games released on PS3 and XBOX 360 are far greater in choice and in graphics.

The Wii is 5 stars for a group/party ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - The Wii - Great For a while, then what? ...
I was a proud owner of a Nintendo Wii for about 4 or 5 months. In the early portion of that period I found the console to deliver an exciting unique approach to gaming that I'd never experienced before. Games such as the free Wii Sports were (although I thought quite basic to begin with) extremely rewarding to play. The premise of actually swinging a tennis racket or throwing a bowling ball was a lot of fun. Then came games like Mario Kart, an excellent classic game that now became as much fun as the arcade ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - wii well why not
I have had the WII for a few month now and I can honestly say (although I only have 3 games includeing wii sports) Thos is the best console in the histroy of the worldnot only are the games gr8 but you can also download games from past consoles such as the megadrive, mastersystem, snes, n64 etc etc so if you are pineing for sonic 3 or Super Mario 64 you can get these for a nominal fee(you will need WII points for this £13.99for 2000)you can just download it and away you go if you have an old game cube controler ...
