I ordered this so I could have a 3rd remote for my family (me, wife and son) as we only had 2 Wii remotes. I thought it would be nice to get a game thrown in for some extra fun on top of the controller, even though I knew from the reviews to not expect much. I was a bit dissapointed as this game was obviously created to "teach" you how to use the Wii controller and show off some of its capabilities but not really have any lasting impact. They should have INCLUDED this game for free with Wii Sports when you bought the system new. Only 10 games on here and only few are worth playing over again. All the rest are junk/fillers. Also the controller did NOT WORK AT ALL. I tried it with alkaline batteries and with my Nyko rechargabele battery pack and it would NOT SYNC.I hit the reset button and got it to flash the lights but still wouldnt work/SYNC, so this is GOING BACK for replacement. Hope the next one works or else I will just order the normal controller without the game. Maybe these are OLD OLD controllers as this game is old from 2006/2007. I had to play it with my other controller. Best Game - by far Pool/Billiards is the best and the one I play every day. The physics on it are true to life. You hit it harder or softer and it does it. You hit the ball below centerline or above and it puts the correct forward or backspin on the ball. Ive played pool over 25 years and I got pretty good at this game in a short amt of time since I know the angles needed to sink the ball and make good cut shots on the table and had the feel for how hard to hit it. Still trying to beat my high score of 42 points (only took 12 shots to sink all 9 balls). The only thing I dont like about pool is you cant read the ball numbers easily and on the view from above the table, it doesn't let you hover over each ball or zoom to see which # it is so it makes it harder to plan your shot. If they fixed that flaw it would be perfect for the price. You have to sink them in NUMERICAL order 1 thru 9, so if you get a bad line of sight or get behind another ball and you dont hit the object ball first, you foul and lose 3 points. If you scratch the cue ball, same thing you lose points off your total score. Pretty challenging..and fun. For 2 player you trade shots if you miss. You gets points equal to the number shown on the ball, so if you sink ball 1 thru 3 thats only 6 points (1+2+3 so your opponent could win just by sinking the higher # balls even though they missed more shots than you earlier on, so dont MISS and turn over the cue ball if playing 2 player, just like in real pool. I mainly played single player The only other semi-games are: Duck Hunt, Tank Game, and Fishing. I wont go into details on these but they are OK games. Shoot the ducks and clay pigeons; Shoot the tanks and reel in the big fish. Pretty self explanatory. Tank shooting is pretty hard and you have to use some strategy until you get to a higher level then just shoot uzi style to hit something so you dont get killed by your enemies. The other ones I'd say, play them once to try them and then say bye bye: Find Mii - pretty hard to find the matches or differnt Mii's (like Where's Waldo for Wii) Table Tennis - not like real table tennis so dont get excited. You can only move left and right and forward and backwards and cant spin or angle that easily. Wii Sports Resort table tennis will be amazing Im sure and put this to shame. Pose Mii - forget this one, It gave me carpel tunnel syndrome in a short time. You have to twist your wrist too match the pose of your Mii and also gave mea headache as its a bit frustrating Charge - Like Mario Kart combined with Barn Yard theme. Cute but not so great. You really have to go go go and not slow down or you will never make it in time to finish. You ride on a cow and run over scarecrows and jump over hurdles and try to finish before time expires. I didnt like the fact that you had to play each one in THEIR chosen order, You cant select any of the games you want until you play it one time. Annoying. They want you to learn the controller at their pace thinking you arent smart enough :) After you post a score in each game then you can earn gold/silver/bronze medals in each when you earn a high score. Beat your highest score and earn a gold medal. This is the incentive to have you keep coming back to beat your high scores I guess. Id say buy the controller by itself if thats all you need (like me) and maybe save a few dollars unless you really want a semi-decent pool game, because thats all it will be good for me. My son might play a few games and like them more. haha it is after all HIS Wii :) (40 year old dad writing this review) Rent it first to try it out if you really want the games. ......
I bought the Wii Play primarily for the controller. My husband plays more than I and is completely addicted to the shooting game. Easy good fun.......
I enjoy playing this game with my 5 year old. We are addicted to playing tanks and playing together to get to the top level. The game is simple just one or two tanks depending on the number of players that need to destroy a variety of tanks with varying skills and capabilities in side of a walled playing field. You can use the regular gun or also mines. There are also fun games like the shooting range, air hockey, fishing, billiards and ping pong. The air hockey game is ok but a little hard to control the hitter. But it is still fun enough for my wife and I too challenge each other with a round of air hockey. The great part about this game is the ability to play with two people. The games are simple but fun to just put the disc in and play for a few rounds. It is also fun to try to get medals and high scores for each of the games. I have been playing this game for a few months now of enjoyement and I can see that continuing for some time. In addition you get another remote which I think is important for multi player family play on the Wii.......
We purchased this for our grandchildren and as it turns out the entire family is enjoying it. ......
I got this a while ago so i would have four remotes. I thought it would be a good deal because its only ten dollars more than a remote. But i should have just bought a remote because the game that comes with it is not very good. Its only mini games that is not even worth eight bucks. It does not even save it after u beat it. U have to beat it over and over again which it is kind of a hard game so its gets really boring. Even on multiplayer. The only good thing about this is the remote that comes with it.......
