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

...INTRODUCTION Our Nintendo Wii has been hibernating under our TV, gathering dust since shortly after Christmas. The Wii party games made a brief appearance for the holidays and the shine of Wii Fit wore off after our New Year?s resolutions met with their usual success and longevity (i.e. none). It?s a fab console, but it?s very ease of ?pick up and play? makes it just as easy to ignore in favour of other pursuits. However, we were intrigued by the promise and novelty of the new Wii MotionPlus gadget, and when Wii Sports Resort (WSR) ? essentially Wii Sports 2 ? was announced, it was immediately added to our Wish List. As such, I was delighted when I received it for my birthday last week, and It has played a part in our nightly entertainment since. WHAT?S IN THE BOX WSR comes packaged with the game (in its own DVD...

  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

...Wii Sports Resort One special day last year, I woke up unusually early - it was even still dark outside. I just couldn?t wait to get downstairs and go into the living room, but I couldn?t - not just yet anyway. It?s something we always do in my family, we must all go downstairs at the same time, together. Not every morning! Just on this particular special day, so I called my mum and dad - my two younger sisters were already up, practically buzzing with excitement at the top of the stairs - and together we all walked, or rather sprinted into the living room. That special day of course, was Christmas day! Woohay! So, you?re probably wondering I wanted to tell you about this, aren?t you? Well, keep reading and you?ll find out? I love surprises, don?t you? Not knowing that something?s going to happen and then it does (as long...

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.

...Wii Sports Resort was my youngest brothers birthday present but for the purpose of research I decided to try it out myself. The game is for the Nintendo Wii and has a whopping recommended retail price of £49.99 although it is currently selling on Amazon for £39.99. This price includes the game and a ?Wii Motion Plus?. The Wii MotionPlus This is an accessory which attaches to your Wii Remote to enhance its motion sensing capabilities. It detects and reproduces your movements in the game, so whether you are playing basketball or doing some archery, every little movement you make is accurately portrayed in the game. The Wii MotionPlus is essential for game which is why it is included but its inclusion automatically makes the game a pricey one which is a bit of a shame. Whilst you only need one Wii Motion Plus for single...

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

...Since its release for retail purchase in 2006 the Nintendo Wii has enjoyed immense success. One of the key reasons for this is probably that it reaches a wider demographic than the majority of games consoles and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Wii sports resort, released as a kind of improvement on wii sports was released in july of this year, and is no exception, providing entertainment for people of all ages, and has the potential of being enjoyed by the whole family. Wii sports is set on a island beach resort, and allows the playing of a number of different games, either as a single player or for up to four players. The game requires an additional device in the form of wii motion plus, which is a more sophisticated sensing device than the regular wii remote, and is able to pick up more complicated and sensitive movements when...

Better than Wii Sports, but still leaving room for improvement

Advantages: Many more good events than Wii Sports. Great use of the Motion Plus for realistic control.
Disadvantages: Too many filler events; only a couple of sports strong enough to stand up on their own right.

..., and the ability to import Mii characters of your own creation that look perfectly in-place works very nicely, as it did with the original. Sonically, well, it varies from the realistic to the light hearted with the usual pseudo TV sportss music snatches from time to time. It won't blow anyone away, but it works at more or less the same level as the graphics do. Longevity Again, comparisons need to be made with Wii Sports and, if the earlier game is one that held your attention for a while, you'll probably get a lot out of Wii Sports Resort too. However, if the novelty wore off quickly then much the same applies too. Although there are a lot more events, the ratio of good quality ones is about the same and the competition has improved a lot in the meantime. Again Nintendo have missed out on providing an online play option, and that's going...

Sporty fun in your front room!

Advantages: fun for everyone!
Disadvantages: price

...I love the wii and it's amazing ability to encorporate sports into a game which doesn't involve you just sitting on your sofa but involves you getting up and having fun as well as keeping fit in a very different way! I bought wii sports which is the original of this game and really loved it but since playing Sport's Resort I can see how limited it was in comparison. Wii sport's resort has so many different games that there isn't really much chance of me getting bored as there are so many things to choose from and as well as reducing the bored factor it also adds to the fun for all the family factor too! There are lots of choices so everyone will find something they really enjoy! The games include: Tennis Bowling Golf Table tennis (these all being the same as the original) wakeboarding sword play archery basket ball...

A good game but requires extra gadgets!

Advantages: fun for everyone!
Disadvantages: limited if you don't have all gadgets

...I love the Wii and the amount of variability and possible options for the games . I like the fact that it is so very different to other games consoles and I bought this particular game- Wii Sports Resort- as I had read some good reviews about it. The game is a follow on from Wii Sports and it uses the latest function that the wii have brought out- wii motion plus. wii motion plus is a lot more accurate, it makes your moves much more realistic which is something I really think that makes a difference especially when playing some games such as tennis, I really didn't think it was all that realistic and it was quite frustrating because it didn't really mimic what I was doing but with wii motion plus it is much more accurate. The games on wii sport resort are very varied so there is something for everyone. There are 12 games in total...

Great Family Fun

Advantages: Keeps the kids quite for ages!
Disadvantages: Only one motion plus Inc.

...This game is one of the best interactive wii games out there. I like the motion plus but you only get one with the game and you can't play two player or more, without it. They alone are £22! This is the only down side. Seeing as there is only this game at the moment that you can use the motion plus for. Oh actually there is the Tiger Woods new game but that's not everyone's cup of tea. I love these type of games myself. It does keep the child entertained for quite some time but I'm not sure if they will get bored within a week or two. The thing is they want you to play along too and you can't unless you spend more money! It's an extended version of wii sports game, but more acurate with the motion plus. Which does make a difference actually. Archery is very good and keeps you entertained for hours. Thats my favorite. Bowling is...
