The Training Mode is where this game shines. It's puzzling that Nintendo didn't incorporate the Mii into Excite Truck in some way, and I hope the interaction between console and game that we see in Wii Sports continues throughout the lifecycle of the Wii. I'm extremely pleased with what's being offered here in the American pack-in, and I can only hope that EA/2K takes what's here to improve upon. And can we please get a counterweight for Golf and a real swing simulation as an option?
Even though this game is a demo, I give it 5 stars for the party fun factor, no other title could get us in the game for more than 8 hours straight! Really so much fun in multiplayer with friends. Alone you won't last more than 30 minutes, 1 hour.. but playing with friends is the real deal.
Awesome. I can play tennis for hours without getting tired. All games are really fun. One thing.. I aways have to make some stretching before playing, the first two times I finished with a hufe pain in my arm! LOL.
Well, I know you're all like OMFG WII SPORTZ IS TEH R0XX0RZ! But hear me out. First of all, sure playing Tennis, Baseball, Golf, Boxing and Bowling are fun, but after a while, just those 5 gets very, very boring. Now you're thinking, well that's because it's supposed to be multiplayer, dumbass! But I play it multiplayer and it's still bleh.
+ Simple, dumbed down game play for the non-gamers, like your mom.
+ great for a free demo
+ Some games control really well, bowling is a standout
+ You can play as people from your mii collection.
-A little more dumbed down then hardcore gamers will like.
-some games "arn't quite there". Like boxing. Good idea, good controls, ok-responcivness.
-I would never pay 50$ for this.
Wii sports so far has given us as a family an enormous amount of enjoyment. Everybody in the family can enjoy a nice round of golf or game of bowling even if they have never picked up a gamepad before in their life.
Nintendo, I salute you, and look forward to Wii sports 2!
Deliciously simple sports-based games, served up as an impressive sort-of "tech demo" for the Wii's varied abilities. Including Tennis, Golf, Boxing, Bowling, and Baseball, you're not going to find anything more likely to bring your family together after that big holiday dinnerâand so long as you live anywhere except Japan, you can't beat the price: $0.00!
What do I need to say about this game that hasnââ¬â¢t already been said by everyone who owns a Wii?
Its concept is Inspired and its implementation Amazing. The first true feel of what this console can do in terms of interactivity. Plus its a great introduction to the Wii play mechanics for young and old alike.
I doubt thereââ¬â¢s ANY Wii owner who hasnââ¬â¢t had their parents jumping about their living room like bad Tennis players with arthritis and then had them jump in the air when they get a strike. Its appeal to all people is phenomenal.
Only downside is its limitations, even though you get 5 sports and each has 3 training modes, after that thereââ¬â¢s not much else to do. Thatââ¬â¢s why Iââ¬â¢m only giving it 4 stars. But for FREE what did you expect?
I'm hoping for a sequel which will deliver more and then some. Come on Ninty you know you have to!
To summarise: Wii Sports = Broken Lampshades and TV's and a hell of a lot of fun with other people. But I didnââ¬â¢t need to tell you that, because you already own it (unless you're Japanese, unlucky!!!)
For a pack-in game, it has been a GREAT gateway into gaming for my non-gaming friends. While not deep, it is a fun way to get up off the sofa and make a fool of yourself.
Honestly, its 5 stars. Wii Sports and Zelda have battled over play time on my Wii because there is a lot more depth to Wii Sports than meets the eye initially.
Favorites from best to worst:
Baseball(I am probably alone in this)
Bowling
Golf
Tennis
Boxing (I have issues with using the limited nunchuck)
I am pretty sure everyone got this game with their console but its great.
Now i've been surprised by this game. Honestly, i wasn't expecting much from it and finally it did deliver.
I won't go in detail because most of you had the game with the console when you bought it but even if the Baseball and Boxing kinda suck, the Bowling and Tennis is really good!! Especially the Bowling in fact.
Bowling is hot because the game isn't gimped at all. It's also the most precise and realistic bowling videogame ever made. I'm not kidding, i even have the same trow as in real life when i play!
The art style is very stylish but maybe not for everyone. Also, most of the games are gimped and feel too much demo-ish to be entertaining for a long period of time.
But when there is friends around, be sure to plug on the Tennis and Bowling game because it's ALWAYS a blast to play. Also laughter generating.
Horrible grafix and guess what I DON'T CARE! This is pure fun it comes with the system but if it didn't I'd still buy it. Nothing is better than Beating the living **** out of your friends in a boxing match without the bloody face and missing teeth! I just wish it came with more games.
FUN, but then I would like to comment on the fact that everyone should have one, poor japs buy this... It's not really worth buying but playing with Mii's really started people's interests in Wii's function in the first place.
Some games are easy to master and a fitness program is quite interesting, like Brain training on DS, but it's just like something to do more of and you will lower your sporting age.
Wii Sports amazing? Chyea! It gets you used to the controllers and brings friends together into an easy and fun playing environment. I give it 4 stars because i'd like to of seen it with more games than just bowling, baseball, tennis, golf, and boxing.

The graphics are nice and simple.
This is the order in how i like them
1. Bowling
2. Golf
3. Tennis
4. Baseball
5. Boxing (the only rubbish one)
My Personal Best: 277
Bowling and Golf [I reccomend Bowling] make great party games. Especially cause these 2 games require 1 or more controllers.
+ great for a free demo
+ Some games control really well, bowling is a standout
+ You can play as people from your mii collection.
