Advantages: Free, 7 modes in total, 5 different sport modes to play, lots of additional training modes
Disadvantages: Graphics could be a little bit better. baseball feels a little TOO tough

...Unless you happen to be considering a Wii purchase in Japan, your Wii Console will come bundled with a full copy of Wii Sports; Nintendo's free bundled game which I feel adds extra value to your initial purchase. There's no escaping the fact that Wii Sports is not just a friendly gesture from Nintendo, but a "demo-of-sorts" for the fantastic Wii-mote controller and the accompanying Nunchuk. For those who have played older consoles, such as the PlayStation 2, you will almost all be familiar with the 'two hand' style controller and so the change to the Wii-mote / Nunchuk combination is a little different. Wii Sports comes with 5 different Sports games in which you can play through, as well as a Training Mode and a Fitness Mode. I'll go into the two latter modes in a little while, but first let us take a look at the main 5 Sports... Read review

Advantages: Nothing in particular
Disadvantages: Nothing in particular

...Computer Gaming is fast becoming the next evolution in interactive entertainment. Can its proclamation as a SPORT be far behind? Or will the "real" sports buff prove the better point. The Positive Position True, a sport is an activity involving physical exertion and skills governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively. But it is also true that there are sports that require you to exert less physical effort and require you to have the skill at the same time, like chess or billiards; and they are called sports, all the same. Video games could be considered as a sport. Video games have some factors common in sports: Cooperation, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Yes, playing basketball games on your computer with a keyboard or a game pad certainly won't give you an adrenalin rush, and it also isn't my idea... Read review

Advantages: it's free, 5 sports game, easy to play, helps you use the wii remote
Disadvantages: maybe too a bit too simple

...Wii sports comes free when you purchase a nintendo wii and it is a great way to help you learn how to use the wii remote. You have a choice of five games tennis, baseball, bowling, golf and boxing all of which are enjoyable, fun and easy to play. Tennis is without doubt the best of the five sports in wii sports, You have the choice of playing a one, three or five game match and your goal, as in all the sports game, is to try and get your skill level as high as possibly. As you get better the people you play get proggresively harder and the hardest prson you play has a skill level of 2000. However, the best thing about wii sports is multiplayer and you feel much more satisfaction in beating somone you know rather than beating the computer, even though you don't earn skill points. Baseball is a decent game but in my opinion... Read review

Advantages: Fitness Test, Fun Games, Wow
Disadvantages: Could of had more games, more features.

...A game that comes free with the console? It is destined to suck, but Nintendo proved us wrong with the fantastic Wii Sports. Games: -------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Tennis - Tennis is definately the best game on Wii Sports, it is for up to 4 players, and the response times are brilliant, you use your own personal Mii on the court for a doubles match, and it is really, really fun. Bowling - I was really looking forward to bowling, and i have to say, i was slightly disappointed. I am quite good at bowling in real life, but on Wii, when i bowl, it goes straight ahead, but then, near the very end it suddenly turns, there is no way that happens in real life, but bowling is still good, and don't let my moans about it put you off, i have always been a bad loser. :-) Golf...
