Wii Sports
Second Hour
GAMEPLAY
I have to admit that this game would only bore me if I were playing by myself for more than thirty minutes. This game kept everyone active and full of energy. If I was playing the game I was able to respond to my friends quickly, as if I wasn’t playing the game at all. If I was watching the game I didn’t feel ignored. People can bother you verbally or physically so that you lose in the game, but the consequences of losing isn’t a big deal, everyone is having fun. If you were to do that to a game that required you to win to advance, I wouldn’t suggest being the funnyman.
DESIGN
Wii Sports is very innovative. It took advantage of what the Wii had to offer. Back then we used to play these sports games glued to our chairs, now we are able to move around and imagine our controllers as equipment. The design of the game is kept simple. The art was very cartoonish, which made the game feel less serious and more about fun. Aside from the visual aspect, the game itself was kept very simple. The Wii mote basically does everything for you. We no longer have to press a button to make our sprite chase after or hit the tennis ball, with a simple wave of the Wiii mote, all that is done. This applies to the other games on Wii Sports.
It is up to the player to keep this game interesting. The game is basically there for you to play. Whether you are having fun or not is completely up to you. Wii Sports is not a puzzle game so it doesn’t pose any challenge to the player unless you set up goals yourself. The game itself was frustrating at first but players will get the hang of the controls after two or three tries.
This game is the definition of exploiting what the Wii has to offer. I remember when the Wii concept was release no one had anything positive to say about it. When it was release, people were lining up the day before and sleeping outside of best buy for it. Wii Sports has a lot of replay value and I would recommend it as a must have game at a social gathering.

Wii Sports
First Hour
SUMMARY
In Wii sports the player is able to play sport games by actively participating in it. You control what is called a “Mii”, a character you create on your Wii, it can resemble you or be whatever you want it to look like. In Wii Sports there are five games to choose from, they are: tennis, baseball, bowling, golf, and boxing. You pick one and watch your Mii go!
GAMEPLAY
Wii Sports is a great game to play with your friends because it is something anyone can pick up and enjoy. Everyone can have a turn within a short amount of time because all of the games are pretty fast paced. Even if you are waiting for a turn it isn’t boring to watch other people play, everyone gets involved socially.
For example, Wii Tennis is really easy to play, and it is my favorite out of the five. Your Mii will move itself towards the ball and your job is to swing your Wii mote when the ball is close enough. Without the hassle of moving your character towards the ball, you can easily socialize with friends.
Wii Bowling is my second favorite out of the five. Like other bowling games you are able to move left or right, change the angle, and adjust the speed in which you slide your ball. To hit the pins you treat your Wii mote as if it were a real bowling ball. It was tricky at first because you have to release the button behind the Wii mote the moment you swing it forward. Though after two tries it no longer became a problem.
Wii baseball is a tricky one. Like tennis, it doesn’t require you to run your bases after you have hit the ball. One person can be the pitcher and the other can be the batter. As a pitcher you have to throw your Wii mote as if it were a baseball (please keep it attached to your hand!) The batter will then swing his Wii mote as if it were a bat! But it takes a little more concentration than tennis because it is hard to hit the ball.
Wii Boxing definitely took a lot of energy out of me. Just watching my younger brother play it makes me scared. What if that was me he was hitting at that speed and force?! In boxing you are able to block by raising your Wii mote up to your face or by moving the Wii mote left or right to dodge. To hit your opponent just pretend your Wii mote is your boxing glove and just start punching the lights out of your opponent.
Wii Golf was satisfactory. It got boring fast within my group because it felt slow compare to the other games. Like bowling you can set speed and directions in which you hit the golf ball. This game didn’t have much replay value from what I have observed in various people.
Overall, who can hate Wii Sports? It is absolutely fun. Who could have thought a plastic remote could be so many different things? From a racket to a bowling ball, this game definitely has a lot of replay value.
