2ND GAMEPLAY: As it turns out, my hypothesis was correct. For my second round of gameplay, I tried Wii bowling. I must say in my opinion, Wii bowling is WAY easier and more fun than Wii baseball. Once again, you act as if the controller is the bowling ball, and in order to roll the ball at the right speed without bouncing it on the lane, you have to release the controller at exactly the right time. I was doing really well with this, and I was definitely not as frustrated with the bowling as I was with the baseball.
However, I'm not going to lie...at first, I kept bouncing the bowling ball on the lane because I was not releasing it at the right time. This was definitely frustrating for me at first, but after a few turns I definitely got the hang of it. As I took more turns, I was hitting more pins. I definitely got used to the buttons on the controller and I knew the right time to release.
DESIGN: The design of Wii Sports is extremely realistic, as well as the sounds. I really felt as if I was literally inside a bowling alley, due to the detailed sounds and graphics. There were no levels or anything, but the graphics were still detailed enough so that the player could become completely engaged in what is going on in the game. Also, because it emulated actual sports games, the player is able to easily relate to it.
I really like how the Wii controller and graphics were put together. Like I said before, it's really nice how the player can become so interacted with it that the game experience is way better than just sitting down with a plain old controller. I can definitely see how and why the Wii became so popular. It can only get even more popular from here.

SUMMARY: Wii Sports, played on the Nintendo Wii, contains a combination of sports from baseball to golf. The overall goal of Wii Sports is to win the type of game in which you decide to play.
1ST GAMEPLAY: For the first round of gameplay, I decided to play Wii baseball. It was EXTREMELY challenging. I was playing against my friend who had played this game many many times, not to mention he is actually a baseball player. I had never played anything on the Wii before, so this was definitely a new experience. The cool thing about the Wii is that you as the player are physically interacting with the game, as opposed to just sitting down with a simple game controller. Aside from the frustration, I really enjoyed this aspect of the Wii.
The movements are also extremely lifelike. For example, everyone knows how to swing a bat from either watching baseball players or by a parent or someone teaching another. In the game, in order to hit the ball, you have to use the Wii controller as if it was a bat. I honestly was not getting any hits and I was not doing well at all. At that point I realized that I should probably try another game because I might do better with something a little easier than baseball.
