    calfun's Wii Sports (Wii)

    [January 25, 2008 10:09:01 PM]
    Summary: "Wii Sports" is a game of various sports, with the Wii-mote the player is able to perform an action resembling that of the real thing. For example, playing Wii Tennis requires that the player swing compared to say, "Top Spin" for Playstation 2 where you only need to press a button to hit the ball.

    Gameplay: In my opinion, "Wii Sports" is a game which exercises the "Wiimote's" capabilities pretty well. My favorite Wii Sports game is Wii bowling, thus I played bowling for about 45 minutes. The game play of Wii bowling is done very well, the scoring, feel, and control resembles that of actual bowling. For those who know anything about bowling in real life, you probably know of the spinning technique professional bowlers use. To my surprise, you may actually use this technique in the game IF you maneuver the controller correctly. Wii bowling is definitely a good party game. For those who have deep pockets, Wii bowling can support up to 4 players - so if you got the cash for 3 more controllers then you have yourself a great party game.

    Gameplay #2: “Wii Sports” is not a very good game to exceed an hour of gameplay if you are playing by yourself. (unless you’re trying to beat a high score or something, but even with that I’m sure it’ll get old) I actually have two controllers, so I played various games with my little brother. For the second hour, I played “Wii Golf” which does not feel as authentic than bowling does but who’s complaining? The control scheme of Wii Golf is pretty much the same as if you were playing real golf, however there is something about it that just doesn’t feel real. Although wind (which is pretty much the only obstacle you have to overcome, that is, if your aim isn’t horrible) actually exists in this game. Again, Wii Golf is a good example of the Wiimote’s capabilities. The IR sensor senses even the slightest movement, which adds a bit of difficulty to the game. I would say the only complaint I have is the fact that Nintendo made everything so cartoonish, but then again it IS a family platform.

    Design: The design of Wii Sports is very cartoon-ish, however we must take into consideration that the Wii is more of a family-based console - meaning it was meant for children of younger ages to play with their daddy or mommy. The design of the settings in each game are pretty precise. For example, the bowling alley looks and feels like a bowling alley. There are even computer players bowling in the other lanes. The golf course is pretty authentic: sand pits, rough areas, trimmed areas, and even out-of-bounds ponds. Wii Sports is pretty much Nintendo’s showcase of what the Wii is all about. The level of interaction between the player and the game world in Wii Sports is incredible as the player pretty much has full control of the character. Wii Sports is a terrific party game for all ages.
