Wii Play *

Not that great

Puntos Fuertes: Comes with a Wii Remote

Puntos Débiles: All the games except for Cow Tipping

I was first excited to get this game but after playing it, I was very disappointed with it. Nintendo should have done a better job at it. The only fun thing was Cow Tipping. If you need a controller get this but if you already have four, try to get the game really really cheap or just avoid.

Wii Play for the Wii

Puntos Fuertes: - $49.99 (includes 9 mini-games and a Wii-mote), costs only $10 than just the remote alone

Puntos Débiles: Not much depth to the game, only supports up to 2 players, the game is more like a tutorial on how to use the remote than a game.

For the value in pricing, at $49.99 for game and remote, you're basically getting a game for $10. The Mii game is pretty fun as well as the shooting range. Table tennis is a bit difficult and the control action is not as realistic compared to Wii Sports Tennis. The 9-ball pool game is weak. Tank is fun to play, especially with the Nunchuck. Content wise, this game lacks depth. It looks more like...

Content wise, this game lacks depth. It looks more like the game that Nintendo wanted to include with the Wii console. Wii Sports has more replay value and supports more players. Wish Wii Play allowed more than 2 player games.

Recommend people to buy it if they're in need for the extra remote if the availability of the remote is scarce, otherwise, save the $10.

Old School NES / Atari 2600 style fun

Puntos Fuertes: $10 over the price of a remote. A great nostalgia trip for those who remember Pong and Duck Hunt.

Puntos Débiles: Fishing, Ping Pong; Short Games

While I certainly would not have shelled out $50 for wii play without the remote, for the $10 above the cost of a wiimote, this game is a great novelty and really demonstrates the innovative nature of the wii and gets me excited for for the future. This arrived today at work from Amazon - and I played it on my 1 hour lunch break at home - which was ample time to try each game and go round too on...

While I certainly would not have shelled out $50 for wii play without the remote, for the $10 above the cost of a wiimote, this game is a great novelty and really demonstrates the innovative nature of the wii and gets me excited for for the future.

This arrived today at work from Amazon - and I played it on my 1 hour lunch break at home - which was ample time to try each game and go round too on the shooting.

I do think overall it is fun and stands on its own. The key to the game is to have enough miis made. Finding my sister, wife, and mom in find mii was pretty funny. Watching them dance around the title screen is pretty amusing as well.

Here are my quick thoughts on each game:

1. Shooting - Short - but lots of fun. Definitely repeatable.
2. Find Mii - actually pretty clever - you start finding people yielding a flashlight in a dark room after a few rounds. Definitely better if you have created some miis.
3. Ping Pong - not much fun in my opinion - a little overly simplistic
4. Air Hockey - Actually kind of fun - strong nostalgia factor a la atari pong
5. Bubble Burst - I does hurt your wrist a bit, but very different from any game I have ever played - looking forward to 2 player here
6. Billiards - Probably the most challenging - I think it will have a longer lifespan than the others
7. Cow Riding - By far the zaniest, the controls are really unique and engaging
8. Tank - Lots of Atari Nostalgia. Could definitely see myself playing this one more
9. Fishing - pretty lame - If you have Zelda: Twilight princess - you will see what fishing on the Wii should really be like!

A pitiful excuse to sell an Extra Overpriced Wiimote

Puntos Fuertes: Comes with a Wiimote... Tank game is mildly amusing, Box is big enough to throw at people trying to laugh at you for wasting your money.

Puntos Débiles: The rest of the games are pure Trash, Only 2 Player Max, Did I mention the games are pure Trash?

So it comes with a Wiimote? What's all good so that makes the game worth around $10. Too bad the minigames that come with it aren't even worth that much. You're probably better off getting ripped off buying some game on the Virtual console. The only game remotely fun is the tank game, which lasts about 10 minutes. The package in the end is just a horrid excuse to sell a overpriced Wiimote onto...

The package in the end is just a horrid excuse to sell a overpriced Wiimote onto unsuspecting suckers, which is what Nintendo is really good at. Check any other review site and you'll see the same result.

Good to add to your collection if you need another Wii remote

Puntos Fuertes: Easy to learn, Fun for all ages

Puntos Débiles: Gets boring after an hour. Not all games are fun to play

For those who is looking to buy another controller, this is a good deal. In my opinion, it is not as fun as Wii Sports, maybe half as fun. Target shooting, hide and seek are the best out of the 9 games. The games are simple and does not require reading the manual to play.
