Island of Sporting Desire

Advantages: Three or four really great sporting games
Disadvantages: The need to 'calibrate' Wii Remote

...also a new '100 pin' game which builds on the multi-pin training mode on Wii Sports, and although it's a bit too easy to get strikes, it's still good fun to play. Golf has had more of a thorough update, with more choices of courses, and the added bonus of now being able to draw and fade shots like in the real sport. This adds a lot of realism to the experience, although you do have to swing the remote much more gently than you would a real golf club, otherwise your virtual ball will fly off in all sorts of crazy directions. Unfortunately, Golf isn't one of the sports which I can easily play at home, as the ceilings are to low for me to swing the club effectively! I want to ride my Bicycle There is a good reason why there haven't been many cycling video games in the past... they don't really adapt that well to being exciting...

For all your cycling needs

Advantages: Has EVERYTHING you need, site is easy to use and secure, Excellent online experience
Disadvantages: The shops are too far away from me.

...****Who are Evans Cycles?**** Evans Cycles is a chain of shops that sell bicycles and all thing cycle related, from lights to tools to clothing to spares to ?trick? bits. You name it and Evans is likely to sell it. The chain consists of 31 shops and whilst most of them are centred round London and the South East there are shops further a field with one in York (which is the shop furthest North) and Bristol (which is the shop furthest West). Being such a large market player Evans has the buying power to obtain significant discounts from suppliers, which are subsequently passed on to the customers, meaning Evans are often the cheapest place to buy cycling apparel. As well as good prices Evans offers a great delivery service and exceptional after sales and customer support desk adding to the shopping experience. In the past...

  Wii Resort For Island Sports

Advantages: Some great mini-games that really show off the MotionPlus accessory
Disadvantages: Expensive to fully kit out two remotes. One or two less compelling mini-games

...shown a short cinema sequence during which your character will skydive down to a tropical island resort called Wuhu Island, which is the setting and backdrop for WSR. You are then presented with the main menu screen. WSR consists of twelve sports, ten of which are entirely new. Bowling and Golf make a return appearance from Wii Sports, and are joined by Swordplay, Wakeboarding (water skiing on a surfboard), Frisbee, Archery, Basketball, Table Tennis, Power Cruising (on jet ski), Canoeing, Cycling and Air Sports. Nunchuks are required for Archery, Power Cruising and Cycling. You choose the sport you want from the main menu and then the mode of play (some sports offer more than one mode - more on this later), the number of players, difficulty level and various other options, some of which are only unlocked when you make the relevant progress...

Get active at Wii Sports Resort.......for a price!

Advantages: fun to play with family and friends, lots of game choices, some really fun games, multiplayer
Disadvantages: very expensive, some potentially boring games, not as well designed as it could be.

...another player. The game is fun but I find that when I am racing against someone you get tired very quickly! Cycling Cycling is played using the Wii Remote connected to the nunchuk. You move your arms in a pedalling motion and tilt your body to participate in a cycling race or compete against your friends. I enjoyed the game the first time I played it but it quickly became boring as I found the motion very repetitive. Air Sports Air Sports includes Skydiving, Island Flyover and Dogfight. In skydiving you jump out of a plane and hold the remote flat in front of you to represent your falling body. You score points by linking up with the other skydiving characters. I found this game quite boring after the first couple of plays as it is only 1 player and it incredibly repetitive. In Island flyover you use the Wii Remote...

  Wii should go to the Sports Resort!...

Advantages: Good for all the family, Great fun, Entertaining, Something to do on a rainy day
Disadvantages: Expensive

...honest, I didn?t find this game that much better than it is on Wii Sports, it still is very fun. I would have to give this game 5/5. It?s one of the best games off Wii Sports Resort. ???Cycling game??? What you have to do is use the motion plus remote like it is the pedals on the bike, and you have to keep rotating it to move the bike. You can choose a course and play against someone else at the same time. A great game, although I found myself not wanting to play any more after I had already played it a few times. I would rate this game as 4/5. It is another one which is good for all ages. ???Canoeing game??? How you do this is you use the motion plus remote as an oar and you have to keep pushing it in the water to move forwards. The good thing about this is that up to four people can all play at the same time, if you...

sports resort got me active!!!!

Advantages: great fun, great multiplayer capabilities
Disadvantages: possibly the price but other than that nothing!!!!

...Wii sports resort is the next step up from the original wii sports game, only not only is it a step up its a leap forward in the fun factor. With even more sports available its difficult to get bored of this game, and very easy to get addicted to it!!!! There are 12 sports available on the game:- swordplay Wakeboarding Frisbee Archery basketball table tennis golf bowling power cruising canoeing cycling airsports. So far my favourite sports have been the wakeboarding, the frisbee and the table tennis, although i have tried all of the sports on the game and i liked everyone of them. Most of the sports on the game can be played with up to four players and there are options for matches, tournaments and vs games on each of the sports. Wii sports resort has one other major difference to the original wii sports game. As well as having...

Wii Sports Resort- Fun for the whole family

Advantages: fun forf whole family, lots of games, sensitive controls
Disadvantages: expensive extra devices needed for multi-player

...you are playing. This obviously improves the experience of the game, making it more realistic. Like wii sports this game can be played in single player mode, and there are more games on offer than in the original wii sports. In my opinion sports resort offers more enjoyment for a single player, than wii sports. It includes a variety of games that become increasingly more difficult as you progress, challenging different opponent at each stage. The many games on offer, twelve in total which include, sword fighting, archery, Canoeing, Cycling,frisbee golf and basketball. My personal favourite is table tennis, which becomes very challenging and enjoyable the further that you progress, although frustrating in equal measure. This is due to the fact that when you loose you are dropped a level or two and need to challenge opponents again that...

Enjoy 12 different sports on a tropical island!

Advantages: Great array of games, multi players, long playability
Disadvantages: None

..., Golf, Bowling, Power Cruising, Canoeing, Cycling and Air Sports. Table Tennis - This is probably my favourite mini game on this game. Unlike the table tennis game which I think they have included in Wii play this game is much more realistic and to me just like you are playing table tennis. The noise when you hit the ball sounds just like hitting a table tennis ball so I think this is why to me it sounds so realistic. The only thing I don't like about it or the thing I would change is that you only play up to six points which I think makes the game go to fast and I would like to see it perhaps have gone up to 21 points like in regular table tennis. However, saying that this game is very addictive and one you will play over and over again. Basketball - The basketball is also another of my favourites. You are on a basketball court and have...

Credit crunch cycle clothing

Advantages: Safe and secure, very quick delivery, very reasonable prices, great quality products
Disadvantages: Limited products - unless you want Speg or it's own brand then forget it

...Cycle-clothing.co.uk Cycle-clothing.co.uk is a website that, as its name suggests, sells cycle gear. The site is divided in to three separate tabs that are cycle wear, eyewear and custom designs. Whilst the first two tabs are self-explanatory the third one isn?t. With a heading of custom designs you may think that it is ?custom? clothing, i.e. items specific and unique to Cycle-clothing.co.uk. This is not the case. The custom section allows customers to send in their designs and Cycle-clothing will endeavour to produce it, for a price. This is the place where cycling clubs can get their team kit made, or an individual can get a personalised jersey made. The tab gives very broad brush prices but if you want something made then you need to contact Cycle-clothing.co.uk direct to discuss specific requirements, which are then...

My life Cycle

Advantages: Keeps you fit
Disadvantages: makes your legs ache

...I see this review and thought this is one for me because I ahve been cycling all my life. The first bike I remember having was a metallic orange chopper. Some of you might know what a chopper is especially as they have just made a comeback. A chopper was a laid back bike with handle bars that turn in towards the elongated seat. The gears were like what you'd expect to find in an automatic car with a red handle to make it easy to locate. This bike lasted me for years, then when I was about 12 years old my grandad bought me a limited edition Peugeot Touring racer. This bike changed my life in a lot of ways, firstly it helped me loose weight. Thus gaining more self confidence, Secondly it gave me a chance to get out of the little village I lived in and visit the local townand thirdly get a paper round. The paper round I had started in my...
