GAME PLAY 2

With the second session of play we chose to play golf. In this mode players can play 9 holes on either easy normal or expert. Because we had 2 first time wiigolfers in the group we decided to play easy. The golf feel was once again pretty smooth and employed the same basic idea as the bowling game; aim, fire, win. We played two matches, one on easy and then one on normal with 6 holes rather than 9 Hitler vs Gandhi vs Schwarzenegger vs myself. The putting could have been done better as far as making movement smooth, but other than that it was an enjoyable play experience.

DESIGN

Wii sports highlights the new wii functionalities like no other game. It’s intuitive design allows the players to feel like they are right there in the action and while the game its self is fairly simple with respects to other video games it’s fun because it’s a replication of what people did before video games… but in video game form. Kinda like antimatter huh? More to the point however wii sports enabled bowling like it has been in no other console. Previously in every other game there was a meter which moved and bowling was about timing rather than well… bowling.

Try to get more in depth with your analysis covering some of the other aspects of the game, perhaps levbel design, or sound, along with gameplay.
