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...

Sky Sports News

Advantages: Dedicated Sports News
Disadvantages: Repetition

...So here's a TV channel that's been reviewed plenty of times by plenty of people, yet few get fed up of reading about it?? Why? Because it's the freeview-made-famous station Sky Sports News. Available on Freeview channel 83 and Sky channel 405, it's a 24-hour rolling news station because, apparently, sports warrants this much coverage. Or perhaps more cynically, Sky pump that much money into their sports coverage, a 'news' channel is the least they can provide to the majority for free with having to subscribe to their sports package. Hosted by two newsreaders, normally a man and a woman, although some times it can be just same-sex pairings, they do all the things any normal news station would do. Deliver the headlines, breaking news and in-depth interviews with important figures from the world of sport. The on...

  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

...each individual mini game in the Wii Sports Resort and scored them out of five in how much I enjoy playing on them. All games on the Wii Sports Resort are suitable for children and the whole family. Here they are! ? ???Jet Ski Game??? In this game you are in a jet ski on the sea, and you have to drive through these goals in the water, you pick up points as you go through them. For this game you need two parts of the remote, one which already comes with the game. I found this game quite enjoyable but it does get a little bit boring after a while, well I think it does anyway. As both my dad and my littlest sister enjoy this game, I think this game is good for all ages and would recommend it to anyone. In my experience with playing the game I find it fun and enjoyable, and would rate it 4/5. ???Frisbee game??? This is...

Review of Water (DVD)

Sporting Choice

Advantages: Energy boost. Non- spill cap- great for physical activities.
Disadvantages: Flavour may become monotonous. Fairly expensive relative to water.

...Why do I drink Lucozade sport? Firstly, it tastes great. Simple and blunt, but this is true. As well as boosting my energy levels for both physical recreation and the dreaded "r" of Revision, Lucozade slides down your throat effortlessly, leaving you willing for more of the sweet, refreshing flavour. When do I drink Lucozade sport? Great for pre-exercise, during exercise, and after if you are in need of a recovery. THis energy drink seems most effective in comparison to some of the other leading brands that I have used, and also is pleasant as an enjoyable drink, as opposed to a necessity for aiding any activity. Which flavour? My personal favourite, although pretty boring, is orginal Orange flavour, although the others in the range are equally as agreeable. The option of multi-packs of the drink makes buying large amounts easy...

Instant sports

Advantages: Up to date information, informative news, good presenters/reporters
Disadvantages: None

...Sky Sports News is a cable channel which is on 24 hours a day and covers all areas of sports from volleyball to boxing and everything in between. This is the number one channel to get your sports news as and when it happens. It covers all major tournaments and shows highlights of all the big sporting events.

Review of Sky Sports News

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.

...; there's also now a back nine to make it a full course. However, it's no Tiger Woods, and with the latter now supporting Motion Plus too, it's only something that could be recommended to the casual golfers out there. *** Wakeboarding - Water skiing with tricks. Fun to start with, although a very limited game once you've figured out how to pull off most of the individual tricks. ** Power Drifting - Slalom on a jet ski. Again, it's fun for the first few times as well as being a nice bit of eye candy, but there's just not enough depth to continually engage the player. ** Canoeing - The paddling is fairly realistic, and you need to continually swap sides to keep in a straight line, but once you've hacked your way around the single course a few times that's pretty much it. ** Air Sports - A mixture of three events, skydiving, flying...

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.

Sporting Delights

Advantages: 24 hr sports
Disadvantages: hubby is addicted to the channel

...Sky Sports Fourteen years ago, I moved in with my then boyfriend (now husband) and within 6 months, we got all Sky. Not only did we get the entertainment package but movies, documentary and sports channels. It was only when Sky Sports News was launched on 1 October 1998 (his birthday) and I realized then how addicted to sports the other half is and how my life will never be the same again. So a bit of background about Sky Sports News Initially named the Sports Channel within the British Satellite Broadcasting service, a merger with Sky Television in the later end of 1990 saw the re-branding of the Sports Channel to Sky Sports. This encrypted channel requires a subscription, through Sky.com (see below) initially provided minimal sports' events such as good old ruggers and golf. With the growth in viewers (and...

Wii Sports

Advantages: Good multiplayer, to play with friends
Disadvantages: not so good to play on your own

...I got my wii sports when i got the wii as will most people. The game basically speaks for itself it has 5 different sports for you to play they are tennis, bowlng, baseball, boxing, and golf. It is a good starter game to get used to the interactivity on the wii. Along with the sports there is a daily fitness test that you can do to see how fit you are, this is far from accurate because it depends on how well you do in the sports but still a novelty, and there is training that you can also do to help you practice the sports. Tennis - This was my favourite game out of the 5 it requires only the wiimote and you basically swing your arm like you would as if you was playing tennis left or right to hit the ball, the timing of the shot will determine where the ball goes. Tennis allows up to 4 players to play making it perfect for some family...
