"Gameplay 2"
Wii Sports uses in a great way the functions of the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk. The controllers are very sensitive and allow for very rich gameplay. I liked the precision with which you need the golf ball in terms of strength and angle. This is very innovative and I believe it is the funnest aspect of Wii sports. The crowd cheering for the player is also something that creates a better gameplay.
A design elements that make this game good are the cameras. The cameras are placed in good places. The camera allows a broad view, without having tiny characters. The angles are also good because they don't become blocked by objects in the levels during the game.The graphics are very simple but add a fun and a bright mood to the game. The characters and the environments are sketched out in a sloppy way but the levels are very bright and colorful, which attracts players of younger ages.
The game creates conflict by making the player control the characters by imitating real movements in sports. And conflict is created in the game by the challenge of defeating the AI or the other player. The game is fun because the rules are simple, yet mastering the movements of the controllers is something not so easy to accomplish.
