Although this is a much anticipated system, Wii Sports falls short of what I expected it to be. Don't get me wrong, this is a fun game, I played it with three other people, but therein lies the problem. It was just an 'okay' game to play with three guys who are probably my best friends, so the trash talking flowed substantially, as well as alchohol. Even under these great circumstances, the game still was just an okay thing to pass the time. The graphics of the characters I feel, were something out of a DMV instructional video, and maybe it's just me, but I need good audio to help set the mood of the game. You can easily tell it was a game Nintendo used as it's guinea pig to please audiences for about 20-30 minutes.
Golf- Probably the hardest of the games, it would be soooo sick if they were able to make a Mario Golf for the Wii.
Baseball- Easily the most boring, you don't field the ball, you just pitch and hit.
Bowling- This was the funnest, and gets very heated when you are playing with buddies.

I agree that the level of excitement only lasts about half an hour, especially if friends are involved. I really liked playing golf, but I wish there were more golf settings. Besides creating characters, it would be great to create golf parks.

Good overview of Wii sports.


Make sure you do two unique posts for the assignment.
