Wii Play (Wii)

...to purchase my first Nintendo Wii game since the launch of the console. As if it hasn't been hard enough to find the Wii console in stock, there's one game that has also alluded many customers due to the fact that it comes with a 'free' controller - and that game is none other than Wii Play. If you're looking for a game that's going to keep you busy for hours, and be a real joy to play, then you are wasting your time on Wii Play really. The selling ...
...realms of play that the Wii was intended for really - multiplay. Considering separate Wii controllers ('Wiimotes') can cost around £30, and I bought Wii Play for £31.99, I believe the reason that this game sells out so much is because it is excellent value. But is it really a game with a free controller? I would say it's more a controller with a game that is only worth about £1.99 anyway. Arriving a few days after ordering, it came in a parcel envelope ...

Review of Wii Play (Wii)

...With that in mind, the Wii puts a lot of faith in the simple "party" games that take full advantage of the Wiimote and its unique features. Wii Sports already showed us how to get non-gamers frantically flailing their arms in front of a television and Wii Play follows in a similar vain, with a selection of 9 "instructional" games. It is a case of quantity versus quality, but as the deal is sweetened with the inclusion of a free Wii Remote, Wii Play ...
...Wii Play's mission is to transform players into masters of the Wiimote. The 9 games cover the extent of the controller's tricks, teaching how Pointing, Twisting and 3D Movement can affect your in-game actions. The games are progressively unlocked as more complex actions are required and, in the end, the mission is undoubtedly accomplished. But the question is, is getting accustomed to the Wii Remote so difficult as to require a dedicated product? ...

...new baby called the Nintendo Wii has taken the gaming world by storm; it is not its amazing graphics (they are not amazing, but they are adequate though) or some new super sound system. It is the game play and its new way of using controllers to enhance the game playing experience. Wii play I would say is a must have game. For a start it comes with a Wii remote controller (the wireless controller for the Wii) thus allowing two player games. More ...
...more ways in which the Wii remote can be used. Challenging might be too strong a word as once played a couple of times all the games become easier and above all fun. This game really gives you a great idea of what the Wii is all about. I would imagine Nintendo have realised that with such a radical difference to other console controllers out in the market, the user needs to be guided into how it works, so the user gets the best possible gaming fun ...

Wii Play is a game released in 2006 for the Nintendo Wii game console. I decided to buy Wii Play just after christmas as I needed another remote for the Wii - I had been given a Nintendo Wii for christmas but it only came with one remote. I also wanted to try new games. Nintendo Wii was the obvious choice as the game and remote came as a bundle. I brought it from Amazon.co.uk for £29.90 (with free shipping as I was trying out Amazon Prime at the ...

The object of this game is to spot the Mii in different situations. Before each round the game tells you which Mii or Mii's you need to identify. If you do not identify the Mii or Mii's within the alocated time then the game automatically ends, the game carries on to the next level every time you ...

After being slightly disappointed with Wii Wario Ware I was not holding my breath on being bowled over by Wii Play the other game set in the Wii catalogue. My son purchased this for £34.99 so if it was bad at least it wasn't my dosh that was going down the drain or worse still back to the Game shop for a trade in whereby I'd be quids out of pocket and only have a voucher for Game, which I'd be very unlikely ever to spend. The package comes with another ...

I was quite keen to try out the Billiards which is basically just a game of 9 ball Pool ...

As we only got one wii mote with our wii and wanted to play against each other we needed to get another remote to go with the console. I looked around the internet and discovered I could get wii play which contained 9 mini games with a wii mote for about £5.00 more than a wii mote on its own. I checked out a few reviews for wii play and they mostly weren't exactly encouraging but I figured for a fiver it was worth a try. When it arrived we unpacked ...

Game 2 - Find Mii You need to point and click on the two identical faces in the crowd of Miis before the other person or find your own mii or possibly three lookalikes. At the start its very easy as there are only a few miis and they don't move but as they start zooming ...

Review of Wii Play (Wii)

...enough to receive a Nintendo Wii for Christmas despite all of the shortages (and at the correct retail price). However a lot of the Wii games are much more fun and often designed with two or more players in mind. We all know that Wii Sports comes as a freebie and a very good one at that but the Tennis and Boxing are much more fun two player. So I decided that another controller would be practically essential. I had read that the game Wii Play comes ...
...controller is just the standard Wii Remote as expected so the question is what is the game like and is it worth the extra? Wii Play is a collection of nine mini games that are designed to help you to get used to the remote. In single player you can get medals on each game, bronze, silver and gold and your score is recorded for posterity against your Mii. It's really in two player that the game shines, it keeps a tally of how many games each player ...

...you will think about getting Wii Play - it comes with a Wiimote. It costs £5 more than a standalone Wiimote. It has 9 minigames. 50 pence (ish) per minigame? That doesn't sound too bad to me at all! Wii Play is not designed for the Wiimote veteran. It is, purely and simply, for the New Wii Owner, who's never used the Wiimote, and might even feel a little intimidated by it. The 9 games ease the user gently into different ways of using the Wiimote, ...
...learning curve. So, is Wii Play worth your pennies if you handle the Wiimote like a master?? YES!!! Not only do you get another Wiimote, for just another £5, you'll get a very simple title. It's definitely aimed at those new to the Wiimote. 2 player mode is great fun, myself and my sister really enjoyed it but, don't expect a great title. The better minigames make up for the poorer ones. If you're after another Wiimote, and have an extra fiver burning ...

...games which comes with a Wii Remote included. The wii remotes are arond £30 depending where you get them from (prices do differ from place to place), and this game is around £30 itself, with the wii remote. SO what I have deducted from that is that Wii Play is a game which comes free with the remote itself rather than the other way round. Wii Play is a very short game, it consists of 12 mini games, which you unlock as you go along. The games are ...
...the games include throwing the wii remote around like wii sports, so theres not much danger of anything getting broken, especially if the strap on the remote is fastenend properly. As well as a great game for the kids, its also a fun game for adults too, and me and my husband often have a good few hours of fun with it!!! In conclusion, if you've just got your Wii, you will notice you only have one controller, which is a little annoying if you have ...

Wii Play: I recently hired Wii play from Tesco DVD Rentals to see if I liked it before buying it and I enjoyed it a lot so I thought I would review it for all of you. Wii Play is the kind of game that is great for when you have a group of friends around with several different mini-games to play. There is a multi-player function allowing for two people to play at once. Because the games are short, (a minute or so max), you can all take it turns to ...

There are five levels each with a different type of target each getting steadily more difficult. There are balloons, cans, targets, clay pigeons, (which are quite hard to hit) and even spaceships. On every level there are ducks that you can hit for extra points. To play this it’s simply a case of ...

...few months after getting my Wii when I decided I wanted something similar to Wii sports (included with the Wii console), since I loved being able to use my own Miis - the little characters you create on the console - as playable characters. Wii play offers this with nine new mini games, plus a Wii remote included. Reviews I'd seen of this game before buying it didn't look good but since it came with the remote I thought it was worth buying anyway. ...

The games are as follows: Table Tennis - you use the Wii ...
