Game : Wii Sports Console : Wii Players : 1-4 (1-2 on Baseball and Boxing) Wiimote Add ons : Nunchuk for Boxing Wii Sports came bundled with the Wii. It takes great use of the Mii's that yo create. If you haven't created any, you can play as the guest Mii's. This game has rubbish graphics compared to games like Metroid Prime and things like that. But the graphics are rubbish and that suits the game perfectly. If Nintendo did something different with this game, some people wouldn't enjoy it as much. The Wii Sports box looks like this : Posted Image. It is very fun for single player. YOu can play any of the games (Bowling, Tennis, Golf, Baseball and Boxing) on your own. Then you earn Skill Points. The more skills points you have, the harder oponents you will face. There is also a feature called Fitness Mode. Wii Sport's fitness mode calculates a player's "fitness age", a rating with a scale from twenty to eighty, by gauging the player's performance in three randomly chosen challenges from the training mode. Calculating the fitness age takes into account a player's balance, speed, and stamina. The test itself can only be taken once a day per Mii. Fitness age results are graphed over one, two, or three months. Daily results are also posted on the Wii Message Board. You can compare your results with your friends too! (If you are under twenty it won't be accurate) There is also a training mode. That is multiplayer. You can play boxing multiplayer training if you have enough nunchuks. Training Mode includes variations of the aforementioned Wii Sports games, having different goals than the normal modes. Each of the five sports begins with one training exercise available. Playing the first training mode for a sport unlocks the next training mode for that sport, and playing the second unlocks the third. If the player scores high enough they will receive a bronze, silver, gold, or platinum medal for their efforts. Receiving a medal or besting the high score results in a posting to the Wii Message Board. Multiplayer is fun also. This game is great at parties. Most games are fourplayer. Boxing and Baseball are two player. In Tennis, there is a wide variety of Match set ups. Player character movement is controlled by the computer. While it is possible to perform realistic tennis swings, it is easier just to flick the Wii remote quickly for a backhand swing, or use a slower motion for a forehand swing. However, the controls become more limited if this is done and more realistic motions make it easier to pull off various spins. Multiplayer is supported for up to 4 players, requiring one remote per player. In Bowling, you have to take it in turns. One at a time. In Wii Bowling, the player swings the controller backward and then forward to bowl the ball. Spin can be put on the ball by tilting the controller. Many Easter eggs exist in this game, including the ball bouncing if the player delays his/her release, making the ball fall back towards the crowd, and bowling off onto another lane. Multiplayer with up to four people is supported with one (or more) Wii Remote(s). In Baseball, one of you serves and the other bats. After three outs you swap sides. Each team gets three tries at batting. The person who scored the most runs wins. One player stands at home plate, and the other is the pitcher. Batters grip and swing the controller like a bat, trying to time their swings correctly. When pitching, players can choose different types of pitches, activated by pressing one or more of the Wii Remote's buttons (A,B, or A+B ) or by changing to underarm bowling by pressing the 2 button. The pitch types are screwball, curveball, splitter and fastball. This game is for up to two players. If there is only one player, the opposing team is computer controlled. The game lasts 3 innings with the mercy rule ending the game early if one player leads by 5 runs. Multiplayer is supported with each team taking turns batting/ pitching in the same way as playing against the computer. The maximum possible amount of players is is two. They may play with one remote (two remotes recommended). I don't know a lot about Golf, but Wii sports Golf is very difficult. In Golf, the player can choose the appropriate strength with which to swing. The player can adjust the direction of the play as well as which club to use. After each swing, the player moves to the ball's new location and swings again. The faster the player swings the controller, the further the ball will fly. Swinging the controller too fast will cause the ball to slice or hook, and the player is unable to control the direction. Putting requires more delicacy. Nine of the eighteen holes from Golf are included. Multiplayer with up to four people is supported with one (or more) Wii Remote(s). Boxing is a fun game. It is probably the only one which tires you out. This is the only Wii Sports title to use both the Wii remote and the Nunchuk attachment. The player holds the Wii remote in one hand and the nunchuk in the other and jabs to punch (quick flicks of the wrist are most effective). Raising both controllers blocks punches from the opponent, and moving the Wii Remote and Nunchuk moves the players fists. Moving the controllers from side to side and backward and forward causes the character to lean appropriately. A health meter is displayed next to the boxers. With each successful hit, health is deducted. When all health is depleted the player is knocked down. The player may then rise, with a partially refilled health meter. After being knocked down several times, the player will stay down, and the referee will declare "knockout". If the player is not hit for some time, or when the player is knocked out by shaking both the remote and the nunchuk, the health restores. More powerful punches come from counterpunching. Multiplayer with up to two people is supported (but requires two Wii Remotes with Nunchuk attachments). The games sounds are quite good, but can be annoying after a while. The graphics are the regular Mii graphics. Posted Image This is a very good game for Multiplayer. everyone who has a Wii should have it. If you sell it, go back and buy it again! It is an amazing game! Graphics : 7 Sounds : 8 Multiplayer : 9 Overall : 8 |
