GAMEPLAY
I played with more people this time and had a bit more fun than before. The baseball is just as maddening but both Tennis and Golf were significantly more fun with multiple people. The competition between players brought a few of the sports more life than they previously had.
The game flowed much like last time as we flipped through from sport to sport. While they were fun, many sports were good for three to four plays before becoming boring.
DESIGN
The game has a few things that make it easily playable but not a lasting game. First off is the amazing controls. It's obvious that this game is meant to teach new Wii players how the Wiimote works. Because of this, they have spent a lot of time making it easy to control and forgiving at the same time. Many times I found myself marveling at how well the controls were picked up by the Wii.
To keep the game interesting, Nintendo has developed a Skill system that slowly turns up the difficulty as your skill in the game increases. If it seems like they've made it too hard they will decrease your skill and the difficulty until you can easily play again and begin regaining skill.
The levels aren't varied at all which heavily contributes to the fast game exhaustion. Many players who already have experience in this game will pass on the opportunity to play again.
The game provides a few training levels which are fun in nature and allow the player to deviate from the normal rules of the sports as well as practice the movements that will help them later in the game.
While not an amazing game, Wii Sports is definitely a good intro to the console and has some great aspects that make it worthwhile to play.

SUMMARY
Wiisports is a "game" that allows you to play tennis, baseball, bowling, boxing, and golf using the Wiimote. It's the first game of its kind to use the Wiimote in such an interactive way. Sadly, that's all there seems to be.
GAMEPLAY
This game is simple in how it was designed. It's only purpose is to really acquaint the player with the Wiimote and Nunchuck. As the game that comes bundled with any retail purchased Wii, I wasn't really expecting much more than that and so far it seems really basic and forgiving. I am thinking the skill system will kick in soon and begin to present me with challenges now that I know what's going on.
The game has a purpose. The playable characters are the Mii's you can create and there is absolutely no narrative or storyline to follow. It's purely an exercise in how the Wiimote works.
