Gameplay:
The game Wii sports has a lot of flow because you get to play better opponents as you rank up. This gives the player a challenge although the CPU isn't that great until you get to the pro stages, but even then they aren't that good. I like how the game sort of challenges yourself because when your playing bowling if you skill is really high and you play poorly then your skill goes down. This makes you constantly try hard when your bowling because if you don't you skill will go down.
Sometimes playing this game will get very frustrating because sometimes your Wii remote isn't as sensitive as you thought it would be or when you swing it wouldn't register and you would miss. So this game could be good and bad at the same time. Most of the time though you will be pretty happy because your Remote will register . But there are times where you just mess up and you can get really frustrated especially when it is a really close game and you lose due to the fact that your remote had an error.
This game is very social especially if your playing with your friends. You can play with up to 4 people and each game is super fun to play. One of my favorites is 4 player tennis because you a lot of communication is involved if the person in front misses the ball. Overall Wii sports is a very social and fun game to play, although there are times were you could get really frustrated playing it.
Design:
This game keeps the player interested because the better you get the harder the challenges or the levels become. Also if you skill up each time you do good and you can skill down each time you do bad. So if you wanted to be a pro you have to constantly perform good or else you will drop.
I wouldn't change anything about the game because i think Wii Sports is really well designed. If anything i would want to add more games to it and make them have more levels. After a certain point you sort of run out of things to do, for instance Golf. In golf after 9 holes there are no more courses or holes. Although the wind changes every game after a while the wind is the same as the first time you played. The game needs more variety and more sports. This would make this game a really good, but since this game was free and it came with the console its okay.
I really like the reward structure of the game because when you win you rank up and when you reach a skill of 1000 points you get pro items and stuff. For instance if you get 1000 points in bowling, your bowling ball is all shiny and has stars on it while if you weren't a pro it would just be a plain old bowling ball.
The designers of Wii sports invented something new and fun for everyone. This game can be played by anyone and even parents love this game. Another thing i love about it, is that it is sort of a workout. If you are actually trying and playing the game like a real sport you get a pretty good workout.
